Still, all you need is tattoo paper ($6.74) and a printer.

1. Lay out your image or images on a blank document and flip the images horizontally.

This is easier to do on Adobe Photoshop (If you do, make the image 300ppi), but you can still pull it off on any word processor. See how to flip images on Word here.

2. Print on the glossy side of your tattoo paper.
