    Exactly right Jim... I furnished a piece of flexible acetate that I used to make my own tat pattern and after he smeared my arm with vaseline (or something similar) the ink master filled the void on the stencil with a black/gray powder of some kind and slapped it on my arm. Then merely traced the line of the charcoal or whatever the black stuff was. Straight edge was swished around in the water basin and it was ready to go for the next customer.... Ah, those were the days - when we didn't normally have to worry about AIDS and not be quite as concerned about some of the crap that destroyed livers.
