Step 6
Wash your hands and he selected body part with antibacterial soap and rub the area with an alcohol pad. Dab a dime sized drop of the stencil transfer lubricant and wipe on a thin and even layer onto the region, making sure to cover the tattoo area and a few inches beyond. It should not be a wet surface, just damp. Carefully place the paper on the skin (inked side down on skin) of the area. Hold in place and still for a minute.
