The second layer is a black sheet of carbon paper, and the top layer is a sheet where the transferred design will appear. You need to put the design under the second layer but above the lowest one.
3️⃣ Use a thermographic transfer maker. You need to put all papers through it to transfer the design to the top layer. You can buy this machine in tattoo shops but note that some local shops may have a machine that you can use without buying it.

5️⃣ Wash the skin area where you want to place a tattoo. The water should be so soapy that it has bubbles.
