    Hi. Ok so here goes. Im teaching myself to tattoo and Im having trouble with my stencils. Basically when i trace my design I then go over it with a skin pen. Then i spray the skin with stencil fluid , wait a rew seconds and apply the transfer.. However it comes out either too faint or smudged !!!! Aaaaggghhhh !!!!!!! Any tips or advice please . Id be very grateful... Thanks..x

    :pac::pac::pac: nobody here is going to help you. get an apprenticeship with a competent artist or you will never know how to tattoo properly. you can trust me on that!!

    It doesn't really matter which of you it is, the same applies. You can only self teach so far.
