Do the they have a background?

The tattoos are printed on a sheet where only the coloured parts form the visible design. Any area without print remains transparent, which means those parts will still transfer to the skin as a clear adhesive layer.

This applies both around the design and within it. If your artwork includes transparent areas, those will also appear as clear sections once applied.

On skin, the transparent areas are usually discreet. However, they can be slightly visible depending on lighting, placement, and how closely the design is cut.

When cutting your tattoo, you can decide how close you want to trim around the design. You can cut as close to the design as you want, but going too tight can make the tattoo harder to apply. Leaving a small margin of 2-4 mm usually gives the best result.
