Tattoo Design Ideas A tattoo stencil is a stencil that is used to create an ink or henna tattoo. Creating your own stencil allows you to personalize a design or create a tattoo to your specifications. This is a useful technique that helps insure that you like the tattoo design before you commit to a permanent tattoo. Instructions: Step 1: Pick or design the tattoo of your choice. Draw it or print it on regular paper first. Take the time to review every aspect, color and line. This gives you the chance to make sure it is exactly the tattoo you want. Step 2: Lay the transfer paper on a flat surface. Place the carbon paper ink-side down onto the transfer paper. Step 3: Tape your design onto the top of the carbon paper and transfer paper to hold it in place. Step 4: Trace the design with a pencil. Press hard along the lines so the tattoo design transfers completely. Make sure to trace each line of the design. Step 5: Cut the design out of the transfer paper leaving about two inches around each edge. Step 6: Rub a glycerin-based deodorant over the area of skin where you want the tattoo. This moistens the skin and allows the transfer to stick. Step 7: Put the transfer paper on your skin on the moistened area.

Some henna stencils are small designs that can be placed anywhere. Special hand-shaped stencils are generally available for decorating the entire palm of the hand and fingers, for instance. These may be difficult to use if the stencils are not the same size as your hand. Stencil bands may be a good choice if you want to create a design that wraps around your arm, wrist, leg or ankle. Many henna stencils feature traditional Mehndi patterns, such as wedding henna designs and knotwork, but thanks to henna's popularity today, you can usually find almost any kind of design you want.

Henna stencils will usually work much better if they are thin rather than thick. Thick stencils might not want to stick, especially if they need to be wrapped around an area rather than stuck to a flat part of the body. They may also require a much thicker layer of henna paste that will take far longer to dry and leave more room for error in the design. For more difficult or awkwardly placed designs, you may want to try using tattoo transfer paper to create a design on the skin that you can simply trace over when applying henna.

Mehndi is the Hindu word for creating body art with henna. It has been practiced since ancient times in such places as the Middle East, parts of Africa, and India. Henna art has traditionally been used for events such as weddings, birthdays and other special occasions, but is growing in popularity around the world for any occasion, or even just for fun. Some businesses specialize in henna body art, but henna stencils allow people to apply their own designs at home.
