How does thermal transfer paper work for tattoos?

Question

my friend is a great artist and wants to do tatts but wondering what is best way to transfer art to body, know tattoo artist use some kind of paper but how does it work?

Answer 1

He should do an apprenticeship with a tattoo artist, and learn about cross contamination, how to properly stelize his needles and tubes before he thinks about learning how to transfer images. (Its done with a Thermal Image Copier anyway which costs over $1000)

There is a lot more to tattooing than just putting on the stencil and tracing the lines. He's gotta know which needles to use for which tattoo, and techniques.A first aid course helps too because people pass out too and you have to know what to do.

Keep in mind, Many people are great artists, but it dosent mean they will be great tattoo artists.
