For this type of tattoo, there is no finished stencil that gets applied to the skin. Instead, I draw directly on the body with markers and get to tailor the tattoo to the body. This is my preferred way of working and I love coming up with designs to fill gaps. This process needs a bit more trust, since there is no pre-existing digital picture of the finished tattoo.
