Tattoo design, placement and stencil preparation for aspiring and developing tattoo artists

Design for tattooing

Simplify detail to suit the intended size, line weight, placement and skin movement. Use references responsibly and create original work or obtain permission where required.

Plan the placement

Consider the client’s anatomy, movement, visibility, existing tattoos, direction and how the design reads from a normal viewing position before preparing the stencil.

Transfer cleanly

Prepare skin and stencil materials through a hygienic workflow, position carefully, allow the transfer to settle and know when a poor transfer should be removed and repeated.

Check authoritative safety guidance

Course learning should be compared with current official guidance, equipment and product instructions and the rules that apply where you work. Review the authoritative tattoo safety references and international-use note.
