Guide & full description
Complete guide: EBERHARD Faber Blue Marker
A professional skin marker made in Germany, specially designed for pre-drawing on skin before tattooing. The soft brush tip allows both fine lines and fills, with widths from 1 to 6 mm, and the blue color provides clear contrast against black ink throughout the work. It is useful for artists who draw freehand directly on skin, as well as for those who complete or adjust the stencil after transfer — and equally well for practice on artificial skin.
How to use
- Clean and dry the work area before drawing — the marker adheres best to clean skin, free of creams or oils.
- First sketch the large shapes and symmetry lines, then move to details; the brush tip gives lines from 1 to 6 mm, depending on angle and pressure.
- Use it to complete or correct the stencil after transfer, or for reference points on large areas (back, chest, sleeve).
- Check the design together with the client, with the body in a natural position, before starting the tattoo.
- If the drawing needs to last throughout the session, set it with petroleum jelly or a similar product, according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- After the session, marker residue is easily removed with soap and water.
Tips from us
- Keep at least two colors in your kit: blue works well on light and medium skin, while red or orange covers tones where blue is harder to see.
- Put the cap on immediately after use — washable marker tips dry out quickly if left uncovered.
- Practice pressure and line widths on artificial skin before drawing on a client; the same tip gives very different results depending on pressure.
- Draw with the area in the body's natural position — skin stretched differently than natural deforms the design after relaxation.
- Do not replace the marker with a regular office marker: only markers intended for this purpose, with dermatologically tested colors, should be used on skin.
Frequently asked questions
Why choose the blue version over another color?▾
Blue provides clear contrast both with the natural tone of light and medium skin and with black tattoo ink: during work you can easily distinguish the blue guide lines from the already tattooed lines. The range also includes red or orange, useful on skin tones where blue is less visible — many artists keep at least two colors in their kit.
Is it safe for the client's skin?▾
The colors are dermatologically tested, and the product meets the requirements of the Tattoo Products Ordinance and is designed specifically for pre-drawing on skin, i.e., short-term skin contact. However, it is not a sterile medical marker: for markings on disinfected skin, immediately before the procedure, the standard remains the sterile disposable surgical marker. Always avoid irritated or damaged skin.
How do I remove the drawing from the skin and how do I make it last longer?▾
According to the manufacturer, the marker washes off with soap and water. During the session, repeated wiping of the work area gradually fades the guide lines — therefore, if you need the drawing to last the entire tattoo session, set it beforehand with petroleum jelly or a similar product, as indicated by the manufacturer.
What thickness are the lines? Is it suitable for details?▾
The tip is soft, brush-like, and covers line widths from 1 to 6 mm: with the tip barely touching the skin you get thin lines for detailing, and with more pressure you get wide lines, useful for fills and contours visible from working distance. You control thickness through angle and pressure, not by changing the tool.
Is it disposable? How long can I use it?▾
It is not a disposable product — it is a reusable marker, and its lifespan depends on how often you use it and how well you close it after use (putting the cap on immediately prevents the tip from drying out). From a hygiene perspective, follow the studio's protocol: some studios prefer to allocate markers per client or reserve them for the pre-disinfection stage.
Can I use it on artificial skin for practice?▾
Yes, it is a natural use: sketch the design on artificial skin exactly as you would on a client, then practice linework over the guide. It is also the best way to get used to the brush tip — the variation from 1 to 6 mm depending on pressure — before drawing on a real client's skin.
