Manual use
1. Take a sheet of Hekto Tattoo 216 paper and remove the brown paper. 2. Make a drawing on the white sheet attached to the Hekto Tattoo 216 paper, applying constant pressure. Note: The higher the pressure, the greater the ink transfer. Consider the mirror effect in texts. Replacing the white sheet with another paper will reduce the performance of the Hekto Tattoo 216 paper. 3. Cut a 1 cm outline around the drawn design. 4. Apply transfer cream or gel evenly on the skin. Note: Applying too much or too little cream or gel will cause loss of sharpness when the ink is transferred to the skin. 5. Place the printed design on the skin and press evenly for 20 seconds. If the pressure is not constant, it will affect the transfer on the skin. 6. Carefully remove the design, avoiding touching other areas of the skin. 7. Let it dry for 10 minutes and start tattooing.
