How to use the Laser Tattoo Paper
Start with the right foil
The Laser Tattoo Paper consists of two parts.
- a thicker paper with logo on the back for printing with a suitable laser printer
- the adhesive transparent foil that must be transferred to the printed part.
Print your motives on the paper
First you put the thick paper with the logo facing down into your laser printer.
Then you print in any color on the paper using mirror image mode. To achieve best results on skintones print a white underlayer over your colored designs in a second print run with Ghost White Toner.
Choose a heavy setting or for example “HP Brochure Paper high gloss 150 grams” for optimal fixation depending on the printer.
Connect paper and foil
In this step, the printed paper must be joined with the transparent adhesive foil. It is best to start at any corner and roll the foil flat with a scraper to avoid air bubbles. Press firmly so that the adhesive can stick to the whole paper.
Check the finished Laser Tattoo Paper
If the connection of the foil and the paper was successful and there are no more air bubbles, cutting can be started.
Cutting out the motifs
Cut out your motives as exactly as possible. The rest can be disposed of.
For the next step, make sure you have a sponge or similar and water available.
Apply your motif
Now remove the transparent foil again and stick the motif onto any part of your skin.
Put a suitable sponge in a container with water or moisten it well.
Application of the tattoo
Moisten the tattoo on the skin well with the wet sponge and let it take effect for a few seconds.
Removing the carrier foil
Now the wet backing foil can be removed directly. In addition, the tattoo can be smoothed a little bit.
Now it is ready and can dry!
The result
After a simple and short process cool tattoos are on the skin.
With a lot of contrast no matter which colors you have chosen.
High durability
The tattoos are very durable and last up to several weeks depending on abrasion and cleaning processes.
