Hi Angela,

My husband and I use tracing paper and hectograph pencils to transfer
designs to skin, and have great results. They write exactly like a
normal pencil, but transfer a purple outline to the skin. To use
them, trace the design with the pencil, slightly dampen the skin with
a personal lubricant like KY Jelly or something similar, then press
the traced side of the design to the skin and peel the paper away. We
have also had good luck just wetting the skin with alcohol and then
transferring. Great to use when you don't have an inkjet printer
handy, and not as costly as a thermal printer.
We sell them on our site, and permanent tattoo suppliers may carry
them also. Hope this helps, and best wishes.
