How to use a free stencil
Pick and size it
Open a stencil, set the width you want in centimetres or inches, and print. Set the print dialog to 100 % (“Actual size”) so the width you typed is the width on paper.
Transfer it
Print on thermal stencil paper through a stencil printer, or on plain paper and trace it onto hectograph paper by hand. Both routes are explained in our guides.
Apply and check
Clean and shave the skin, apply stencil transfer solution, press the stencil down and peel it in one move. Check the placement in a mirror before the first line.
Can I use these stencils?
Yes. Print them, tattoo them, and use them for your own tattoos or for client work in your studio. Please do not resell the files or republish them as your own collection.
Every reference photo and stencil in this library is an AI-generated example made for it, from generic subjects — not a copy of any artist’s design, and not a photo of a real client.
