What size do these print at?

Portrait A4 proportions, drawn at true tattoo size so the outline can be scaled to a stencil printer directly.

Are these actual stencils I can apply?

They're outline designs at stencil weight — an artist or a stencil printer still needs to output them onto transfer paper for the skin; nothing here is pre-loaded onto transfer film.

Can I get a different subject at the same size?

Yes. Type a new subject in the direction field and the outline is redrawn in the same three weights.

Why is one version purple?

Purple is the standard color a thermal stencil printer outputs — it's shown here as a reference for what that transfer line looks like.

Tattoo stencils: a rose, a compass and a snake and dagger, true to size

Tattoo stencils — a rose in full bloom on a short thorned stem with two turned leaves, every petal drawn as its own closed curve, the violet thermal-transfer line as it comes off the stencil printer, one uniform medium weight and nothing but the outline

Reading 3Snake & dagger

A stencil is the outline the needle follows: no shading, sized true. These nine are a full-bloom rose, a nautical compass and a snake coiled around a dagger, each drawn as a violet thermal-transfer line, a black outline, and a single-needle hairline. Ask for a different subject in the same three weights.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
