Ordinary carbon paper is not to be used for tattoo transfer. Carbon paper will smear, distorting the image. In addition, carbon is not a good substance to put under the ski which will happen during the creation of the tatoo.

How do you use A4 spirit master tattoo paper?
I guess you r trying to use it to apply flash or a line drawing to be tattooed. The sheets have a three page system you can use it in the following ways. 1) Place the design on the top of the carbon paper ( the non transfer side ) and tape it firm then trace around the design with a firm lead pencil or fine point biro which will transfer the drawing to the tracing paper underneath which is the third sheet in the set. Apply to skin. 2) print the design onto an ordinary a4 sheet of paper, place the drawing onto the carbon paper drawing side facing u ( transfer side up on carbon paper ) and draw around the design you printed. This is a good method as you can c where u have drawn. You will also be able to lift the drawing up to the light a c any missed lines. With this method it doese not matter if either paper moves unlike the first method. Once complete transfere to skin. 3) Pop into a thermo fax or impact printer and waala easy peezy. Hope this helped.
Where do you get pre drawn carbon tattoo paper?
A little confused by your answer as it is...do you mean where can you get thermal paper, or the piece of thermal paper that was used for your tattoo? If you ask to keep the stencil, the artist will probably oblige you, but during the application the design on the paper looks quite muddy and bleedy, so there's not much point in saving it unless you're a hardcore scrapbooker. You can get thermal paper online or through tattoo suppliers for very cheap.
Where can I find free tattoo templates?
I've never heard of a Tattoo template. Try searching the Internet for a picture you want tattooed onto yourself. Place a piece of carbon paper, or ink paper(you know for making hand written copies) between your picture and a clean piece of paper. Trace the picture with something (want wide lines? use top of pen. Thin lines? use the pen). You should have an outline drawn onto the clean piece of paper in carbon or ink. Stick the carbon outline onto your body where you want the tattoo. When you remove it you should have a faint outline of the tattoo you want on the part of your body you want it. Don't rub the paper or you may smudge the outline.

Where is tattoo paper available?
Temporary tattoo paper is definitely not found in every store. It is best to look in a stationary store or computer specialty store for this type of material. I'd also try a professional Beauty supply store.And ask any tattoo parlor. They must have some to rough out new designs and try them out. I'm sure the can tell you where to buy some, or possibly sell you some.

Why is carbon paper used in sewing?
Actually, carbon paper is NOT used in sewing, because the carbon would stain fabrics. Special sewing copy paper can be used to transfer pattern marks onto fabric and these marks can be easily washed out of the finished garment. However, that is an outdated technique that is rarely used in modern home sewing.
