5. Operation
5.1 Design Selection
Open the Prinker App and browse the available tattoo designs. You can also upload your own designs or create new ones within the app. Select your desired design and send it to your paired Prinker M device.
5.2 Skin Preparation
Before applying a tattoo, spray a thin, even layer of the provided skin primer onto the desired area of your skin. Allow it to dry completely. This step is crucial for optimal tattoo transfer and longevity.
5.3 Applying a Tattoo (Prinking)
Once the design is sent to the device and your skin is prepared, gently glide the Prinker M device across the primed skin area where you wish to apply the tattoo. Maintain a steady, even motion. The device will print the selected design onto your skin.
