How to Cut Out a Tattoo Stencil

I'm going to take some scissors and I am going to be careful not to touch this. You see how it is already rubbed on this paper here. If you get that on your hands, it will get on everything. You can see, got my tattoo. I am going to bring this around and this is pretty elementary but we do it just like we were first grade. What you are going to want to do is trim close to the edge of the tattoo or to the design because that is going to allow to apply tot he skin a little bit easier. Pretty simple. Just cut around, trim it up. I try not to spend too much time on it, on the details. It frustrates your client. Here we go. We've got it.
