Interesting thought .... what sort of ink would you use to transfer
the stamp to the skin ? Do you think it would really save you any
time over sketching?

Seems the big jobs would be the ones that would most benefit by a
shortcut, but the big jobs would present the challenge of making a
clean transfer over inevitably uneven terrain. Granted, it would be
ideal to be able to drop a big Celtic back piece over the
shoulderblades in one pass, then henna it all in, but I wonder how
many people would fit the same size flash. And then ....how easy or
difficult would it be to get the thing transferred cleanly?

I've watch tattoo artists transfer flash onto people .... and patterns
that were perfectly geometric on paper came up quite irregular when
wrapping around something even fairly tubular, like a thigh. When the
muscle flexed, the circle became an oval, and then sitting, it got
really odd.

I undersand now what you were saying .. (slightly thick here, as
usual) but I'm sitting here with a little stamp wondering if it's
actually very helpful. It may be one of those things that you just
want to keep in your repertoire just in case.....
