Each one is the kind of picture a client hands you, and the stencil drawn from it with nothing done by hand.

Inside your dashboard
The screens as they are today, in your dashboard under Creative, for every artist in your shop.
The lines, the shading, and your own
Three layers you switch on and off. Pick the reading, from the outline alone to every line in the piece. Erase a stray line, thicken one, or draw one in, right on the stencil.
Printed at the size you type
Type the size in inches or centimeters and it prints at that size, with the measurement on the sheet. Mirror it in one press. A back piece prints across as many sheets as it takes, overlapped, numbered, and marked.
On your phone too
Photograph the drawing on the table with your phone and it traces there, in a second or two, with the same layers and one slider to back the ink off. Or drop a file, or start from a piece of free flash.

Straight answers
What does it cost?
Stencils come with your waivers.tattoo account, $50 a year or $5 a month for your shop, unlimited, every artist included. Your first 10 waivers are free, and you make stencils from day one.
Does it work from a photo?
Yes. Photograph the drawing or the flash sheet on the table and it traces from the photo, the way the examples above were made. A photo of a face or a pet is a different thing: today the lines it draws from one are a start to work from, not a finished stencil.
Which printers does it work with?
The one you have. Save the stencil as a PDF and a PNG at true size and print it the way you print now or with AirPrint, on a Brother PocketJet, a Phomemo or another Bluetooth thermal printer, or on plain paper for your thermal copier.
Does it change my drawing?
No. The lines are traced from your picture, and nothing is added or closed. Fix any line yourself before you print.
Can every artist in my shop use it?
Yes. Every artist signs in with their own email and makes their own stencils, as many as they need.
Where are my stencils kept?
On your client’s record in your dashboard, beside their signed waiver, so any artist in your shop finds them at the next session.
Does what I upload train anything?
No. What you upload trains nothing, and it goes through no image model without your word.
I already use waivers.tattoo.
