I absolutely LOVE how clean and badass this came out! Before this, i would have probably spent hours literally trying to draw and replicate the image onto the transfer paper but this is just going to save me so much more time and sectioning off the shaded regions is GENIUS for a New Beginner in Tattooing like me haha Good Luck and Thank You!

[@danielmelhusolsen2795]

Been seeing your videos alot lately and the things i'm learning are much much more than i could ask for... Keep it up, hopefully i could raise enough money to start my own as a tattoo artist... Cause i've been itching to try all the things i've learned in your videos man... Great job...

[@mihaigtattoo]

Very usefull tutorial ! Thanks !

[@ONi404]

I was still thinking yesterday, "Why isn't there a detailed video on this topic from you yet?" and suddenly you upload it Thanks a lot! I just wonder where the stencils come from, do you only use Pinterest images? Do you also draw your own stencils or do you think you can do everything on a PC these days? Best regards from Germany!!

[@timmarkoja4310]

Really useful video, I like it. Good stencil to me is like half the job done when done properly. One thing about scaling, as you said that you don't know if you can scale it in photoshop, you actually can. One way to do it properly is when making new document/file, you have to set Document Type to your preference, I'm from Europe so I use International Paper type and then select size A4, then just adjust my resolution to 600 pixels/inch as you do, for better quality and then when this is done and I have all set up ready to print, I just rescale it( CTRL+T). When you rescale something, you have dimensions written in that tiny black box it says something like W : 10,00 cm H : 10,00 cm and when you are scaling it, those numbers are changing, you just scale until you get what you want and then just press CTRL+P for printing and press print. The other way to get your perfect size in photoshop is - make your design (document type and size doesn't matter, only good resolution), then when you're done, again press CTRL+P for printing, but don't just press Print right away, this is where rescaling happens. You have two options here, again you can rescale it by hand on the left side of that print settings, where you drag that corner points around, and you can even position your design where on the paper you want it to be - idk if it's small, I like to position it somewhere on the top an when you're done, again just press print and that's it. The other way of rescaling in that print settings, is to just scroll down on the right side of that window where you have Printer Setup, Color Management, Description, etc. until you find section Position and Size and there you have sub-section called Scaled Print Size, where you can type in your desired size in Heigh and Width or in percents. However, I find it easier to just rescale it and position it in the left side where printing preview is. I hope that everything is understandable as my english isn't that good. Maybe I can do screenshots with descriptions and send it to you, but I don't know how to to it on yt so I can just email that to you, if anyone doesn't understand. Well maybe I'll do a quick video about it. Anyway keep doing your job dude, you're awesome! And good luck :)

[@OLIVERAYRE]

Tim Markoja stencil is the first call of a good tattoo! If you haven’t got a good enough stencil then your work will go that way too

[@timmarkoja4310]

@@OLIVERAYRE I absolutelly agree with that! Thank you for sharing such a good/useful video, it's worth more than gold really.

[@johnforbes5838]

Another top quality video. Thanks Oliver, I appreciate these vid's a hell of lot. I am 4 tattoo's in and the quality of my art is improving so much faster thanks having access to your high quality videos and being able see a professional at work. Also your narration is bang on, you enplane things in detail, but simply and clearly at the same time unlike other youtube tattooing tutorials. Some are less experienced than me where others just go overboard not mentioning any names. (tattoo university lol.) I am under house arrest for the next 8 months and your videos will stop me from turning in one of those dirty backyard tattooists. i intend to seek an apprenticeship after my sentence is finished but I brought a gun online (not Chinese) to do a cover up of a swastika from when i was 15 and I court the bug. BAD and can't wait 8 month for more ink Thanks again Oliver you have saved me from ruining my best canvas ME!! 😁🎨🈸🈺🈴☜(ﾟヮﾟ☜)🎯👌🤛👏🤘🤟😸😁😆😁

[@derektodd2431]

Thanks thats great. ill make a vid to send u on photoshop and show u a quicker way of making a stencil. well the way I do mine anyway u may already know but its all good learning things about photoshop u did which can speed up making stencils for me

[@Lylantz]

Great video, took some valuable notes from this. By the way if you haven't got one already, a tripod will definitely help you out in your filming.

[@GuillRickard]

26:38 Neat little trick if you need to retrace the stencil after removing the picture: put the stencil paper on top of the picture (without the ink sheet), trace the line directly on the stencil paper, then trace it again with the ink sheet underneath the stencil paper.

[@marttiink8140]

Super job 😍

[@KHULAS_MAANGAS31]

Awesome tutorials

[@jaysunvazquez8937]

Can you please do a video on all the stencil techniques?, thermafax vs. inkjet printer vs. hand stencil? Keep up the great work man!

[@petetebond]

How many values did you usually use?. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@ifitstoloudyourtoold]

Great video, thank you

[@renatosorsak8946]

First of all thank u from the bottom of my heart... i have a question, when im stenciling my stencil is not consistent, like there are some patches in the lines i overdrew... i think that problem maybe could be “weird” pencil ? So i would like to ask u what kind of pencil is best to use for stenciling so that there are consistent lines on stencil paper... and i also press hard enough all the time i think... any tips? Thank u man, wish u well✌🏽❤️

[@paintbeforebirth]

Do you use this method for every design or do you ever use a thermal printer ? Great videos btw. upcoming artist myself

[@GioBunny.818]

You learned to do it just like me ☺️

[@abhilashdas8424]

Very useful ..thank you 👍

[@kennynyc1555]

Very good advise man

[@manuelrocha3422]

I like to cross hatch the darkest areas.

[@SVNT0]

i put the image direct on the stencil (blue layer) and start stencilling, move all you want but the stencil stays the same. plus since you are using the harder paper you can stencil multiple times (the thin stencil paper rips too eazy ) Hope this helps someone lol

[@SVNT0]

I feel like my explaining is too shitty.... it makes sence once you see it trust me!😅

Thanks for shearing ciao

[@Khanartistdaze]

Have you ever tried an iPad and Apple Pencil to stencil everything out, then print it and throw it in a stencil machine. If you have what’s your thoughts on that process? I’ve found it saves a lot of time

[@OLIVERAYRE]

Khan Artist Daze hey man! Yeah I have! That’s also very good! Although sometimes I feel the stencil paper is hit and miss. Feel like it rubs off quicker than having the hand stencil paper

[@Khanartistdaze]

OLIVER AYRE I know what you mean, the stencil definitely holds better the way you do it. I've learned a lot from you, keep up the great work!

Quick question big bro, why do tattoo artists photocopy their stencil? What is the use of the copy?

[@TylerSpite]

What’s a good printer for stencils?

[@lucretia0081]

did you use a special pen or was it a regular one?

28.00 ( min. ) fake arm where can I get that ? how much around can you give me some information about that ?

[@Denka187]

only downfall with not using the a4 paper as a stencil is that if you mess up the stencil on the skin you have to redraw the whole stencil , while on a regular a 4 peper you get at least 3 - 4 chances . but stencil paper follows the skin better for sure

[@OLIVERAYRE]

jesco white just photo copy the stencil and put it through a stencil machine as many time as you want!!

[@MADzSMurFeR]

Mate what would you do if you screw that stencil up on the person it becomes unusable, would you have to redraw the stencil or before you put it on the person make a copy of it?

[@tobiasztattoos2814]

MADzSMurFeR you can re-use it many times. When I was stenciling my leg I tried about 20 times with the same stenciled paper ;) just make shure u don’t put to much grease to avoid stencil paper getting to wet

[@MADzSMurFeR]

TJ tattoos thank you, hell of a response and for the advise I’ve been putting to much stencil stuff on than. Much appreciated mate for the response and help.

[@OLIVERAYRE]

Good question!!!! So what I do is before putting the stencil on to the skin! I will photo copy it! Then put it through a stencil machine just in case! ;)

[@MADzSMurFeR]

You can resize your image in photoshop, just turn on the ruler guide (command + R), use a 8.5 x 11 document for reference and then use guidelines to reference your size, transform your image to fit within the guidelines. boom bam bobs your uncle and your done!
