Tattoo Filler Stencils

Smoke, clouds and seamless patterns for filling the gaps between tattoos in a sleeve or collection.

What filler is for

Filler links separate tattoos into one piece. It sits in the gaps, follows the shapes around it and gives a sleeve or back piece a consistent background.

Choose by the size of the gap

Narrow, curved gapsSmoke wisps, wind swirls

Large or irregular areasA seamless pattern cut to shape

How the seamless patterns work

Each pattern page is covered edge to edge with a repeating tile. Cut the printout to the shape of your gap. For a bigger area, print the page twice and place the sheets side by side: the pattern continues across the join.

Questions

Can I use the patterns as a tattoo on their own?

Yes. Cut out a shape such as a circle, band or triangle and use it as a standalone geometric tattoo.

Do I need to match the pattern size to my other tattoos?

It helps. Scale the print so the pattern's repeat is similar in size to the details of the tattoos around it.

How do I fill a curved gap with a pattern?

Lay tracing paper over the gap, draw its outline, then use that as a template to cut the pattern printout.
