If you want your tattoo stencils to last longer and be gentle on the skin, then you should definitely check out ELECTRUM's stencil primer series.
FLAG TATTOO SUPPLY carries two versions of ELECTRUM, both of which are non-toxic, deodorant-free, and plant-derived products.
ELECTRUM Tattoo Stencil Primer
First up is ELECTRUM Tattoo Stencil Primer, also known as "Green Gold."
This stencil primer is gel-based and can be used with both standard carbon stencils and skin markers. No matter which method you use to apply your stencil, simply apply a small amount of this primer to the skin, let it dry, and you're ready to start working.
Stencils applied with Electrum are dark and long-lasting, so you don't have to worry about ruining your artwork.
ELECTRUM Gold Standard Tattoo Stencil Primer
If you prefer a lotion-based product over a gel type, try the new ELECTRUM Gold Standard Tattoo Stencil Primer.
Gold Standard works exactly the same as the original ELECTRUM Stencil Primer, except that it is lotion-based instead of gel-based. It's that simple.
Like the original Stencil Primer, Gold Standard can be used with all types of transfer paper and skin markers.
A major feature of Gold Standard is that it becomes very sticky when applied, which allows it to adhere all types of paper to the skin, creating darker and longer-lasting stencils.
