All About Stenciling

yeah i just got my tattoo last night and you know when you get the stencil before the actual tattoo?. well yeah the stencil is still on my skin and it will not come off can someone help me i know its not that big of deal but its a black little tattoo with random purple stencil marks :|:| Help!

you were suppose to run luke warm water on it for 15 mins three hours after you got it! but try putting tattoo goo on it it's a special lotion! good luck! it will definitly come off in two weeks don't rub it!

Mine took a day or 2 to come off, my tat is on my lower back and the purple was kinda like smeared around it, and i just washed it with body wash when i washed my tat clean in the shower several times a day. (was my first tat and i was petrified of infections. Was the middle of summer and i didnt want to stuff it up. I tell u, i was one clean and shiny girl that week lol) Massage the showel gel around the tat for a few seconds to try and get it off. Something with an anti bactierial is best, or maybe try using a baby disposable wash cloth, but make sure u apply the cream the tattooist recommended afterward, so that it doesnt dry out. I used the papaw cream for mine, which kept the design shiny and clean.

soap and water and rub w ur hand.. not with a cloth... and to heal ur tat2 every day after u shower use antibiotic for 3 days only once a day... then after that use lotion after u shower for 7 days .... then after those days r done let it air dry for another 7 days.... remember dont pick ur tat or ull scar it.... also when it heals it might seem that it gets lighter but give it time it will get darker... because its just the healing process

I have never actually seen a tattoo that retained the stencil outline after it was finished. I know from my own experiances and those of my friends the artist ussually does enough wiping and spraying so that by the time the process is over the stencil is gone. I am no expert though, and I am quite sure anything is possible. You shouldn't have anything to worry about just do the normal thing by keeping it clean and moist and you should be fine. Just don't get over-zelious and try to hulk-scrub it off with a brillo pad or anything. That stencil ink is supposed to be the non-toxic veriaty so I forsee no issues.

It's just carbon. It will wear off in a few days.
