Questions
Why are the finger designs so simple?
On a surface this small, simple shapes with bold lines stay readable longer.
How do I fit a stencil on a finger?
Cut the printout close to the design so it can wrap around the finger without wrinkling.
Can I use these elsewhere?
Yes. They work anywhere you want a very small tattoo, such as the wrist or behind the ear.
