I love your design and how good it looks. I’m curious if you might be able to give me a tip or any advice. I’m trying to design a piece in a similar area of the body and I don’t know how to design a tattoo transfer design. I’ve tried to use conventional tracing paper for a tattoo design after measuring the diameter of the arm and I’ve found that paper doesn’t form correctly because of it’s stiffness around the body without a slit or dart. So how did you design a tattoo sleeve that must curve so much around? Is there a possibly a type of plastic or rubber paper that molds to the body easily and can be used to trace out and design how a tattoo will look over very curved parts of the body?
I appreciate any help or advice

Well for starters, thank you for the compliment.
As for stencil transfer you might wanna read up on fundamentals. I’m not trying to plug Jordans book (website owner) but it would be good for you as a beginner. Even some of us who have several years under our belt, I found things in it that was helpful. Never stop learning.
As for transfer paper, I highly recommend you use tissue paper, you can find it at Michaels Art supply store. Or any place that sells it. Its very soft and easy to use. But you need the carbon still to get the transfer so what I use is Spirit transfer paper (packs of 20+) then when I got large pieces I use multiple sheets…etc.
Everyone has their own method, I’ve learned %80 of what I know on my own over the years by experimenting. And as of this last 12 months i’ve studied more now than I ever have since I started when I was 15yrs old tattooing. Hope this info helps.
And thank you once again.
