      You’re right. I didn’t explain it correctly. Backwards actually. My bad.

      So let’s start again. A few weeks back I made stencil stuff for applying stencils to skin or for me right now to practice skin. I saw vid on YouTube deoderant, aloe, hand sanitizer. The main ingredients found in those I have in plain form. Like deoderant used for the PG, properglene glycol. I used a different type of aloe and hand sanitizer. What I came up with is heavy duty stencil stuff. I got a stencil on my hand and it didn’t come off super easy. I was able to put Vaseline over it without smudging it. When I tried removing it it wasn’t easy. I had to use a bit of pressure. That tells me if I use my current concoction my stencils will remain in the skin without becoming smudged.

      I also used this on practice skin. I found the second i removed the stencil paper transfer the stencil was there permanently. No amount of green soap, alcohol, nor even household cleaners removed it. Kinda weird cus propylene glycol removes permanent marker like sharpies instantly.

      So I thought since this was really good I wanna duplicate it and send a bit out for others to try. In the mean time I’ve been racking my brain trying to figure out what could be durable enough to widthstand the tattoo yet removable once I was finished on practice skin. I got no where. Things I tried smudged instantly. You couldn’t even pat a bit of Vaseline on it without making a blurry mess.

      While gathers the raw ingredient si found a bottle of strangely enough barrier cream which I use on skin for face and body painting. It keeps sweat away and also adds a barrier so certain colors don’t stain skin like red. It’s gone in a few days but the barrier works wonders. I found a bottle, looked, and said “No friggan way?” My hubby told me to stop arguing with my iPad. I decided to see what would happen. I made a very small stencil, put the barrier cream on, applied stencil, waited a few minutes and wwaahhhllllaaaaa. The stencil was on the practice skin. I was able to add a thin layer of Vaseline without smudging it. Then amazingly I was able to wipe it off with a tiny bit of pressure. It got even better. I have a practice skin that has a lot of black ink left over. I just couldn’t get it off the skin. What the hell. I put the barrier cream on the skin, a touch of Vaseline and 98% of the dried left over ink wiped right off.

      Only problem is that cream isn’t cheap. 2oz for $10.00 or more. I need to figure out what it’s made of so I can reproduce it. So I’m gonna figure out both. The very very nice stencil applicator stuff for skin and the stuff for practice skin.

      So, if anyone would like to test my lovely concoction by all means email me. I really wanna test it on skin that’s being tattooed. I’m a very long way from touching a human myself. I would also love the feedback.

      I hope that helped a bit. My apologies for being backward. I am dyslexic but this is the first time I’ve ever written an entire post backwards. Hehehehe. My bad!

      Hi!
      I know it’s been a while. I’ve sorta been helping a friend but anyway, I’m really thinking I like the idea of mixing my nearly non removable stencil stuff. Here’s what I’m thinking I already have quite a bit. But now I’m gonna break it down completely and figure out exactly what makes it so good on skin. Not practice skin, will not come off at all.

      But, I like the idea of selling a bit on the side. Cover my costs and help. finding out my body painting barrier works great on practice skin. I mean I even put a bit on a practice skin which was very stained via ink. I put it on, added a touch of Vaseline and wham it took the stain off nearly completely. I’m working on finding out exactly what the barrier cream has in it. Buying it online is not cheap $10.00 or more for 2oz. I’ll find out the compounds and make my own much cheaper.

      As for what I already have which is very good on skin. I’d like to know If anyone would like to try it. I wanna be sure you get the same results I’m getting. So if there are a couple of you who’d like to try it out please email me. I’ll send ya a bit. It doesn’t take much that’s for sure.

      Hi,
      My friends tell me I’m only a old as I feel. I’ve wanted to become a tattoo artist for over 15yrs. However an apprenticeship was always completely impossible. I still think it’s completely impossible. But my husband found out that you could now buy a tattoo kit so for my bad he did just that. I have equipment and a whole lot to learn.

      I’m older than others who posted in this thread. I’m over 40. Put my age with the fact. Most likely will never find an apprenticeship that means I’ll be day dreaming for years.

      Is age a factor? I gotta say mostly no. If you want it bad enough, you can achieve it. Knowing my obsticles I’m going day by day cus f I think about he future I just knock myself down. Everyone else ca do the same thing!

      I think the same thing. Putting that picture up with the label is wrong. And the tattoo wasn’t a bad tattoo! Even though I’m new I have been getting tattoos for 15 yrs. plus I have what my husband calls my “freaky gift”. I think it’s just because I’m dyslexic and my brain found a way around that.

      There’s more to this story which pisses me off even more. This guy constantly posts about the wonderful things he does for people like the homeless. Now i’m all for helping but when you use it to gain fame it’s wrong. Funny thing, those things get posted when he gets a pat on the back. If someone else doesn’t give it to him, he posts it himself. He’s loving, kind, will do anything, gie you the shirt off his back… If you look at his site and back over the past it’s very obvious.

      I’m still wondering if I or someone else should tell shop b about the picture he hung up.
