Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional tattoo stencil transfer methods using unsterilized and non-specifically formulated lotions pose health risks due to potential infections and the stencils do not remain on the skin long enough for accurate and efficient tattooing.

Innovation Solution

A sterilized tattoo stencil composition, including stearic acid, triethanolamine, propylene glycol, and a preservative, packaged in individual packets or hands-free dispensers, which is applied using a flexible wipe for easy, quick, and long-lasting transfer.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If traditional transfer lotions are used, then the transfer process is simple, but the lotions are not sterilized and may cause infection

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesimplicity of transfer processVSAvoidinfection risk

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of manufactureVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the chemical composition parameters of the transfer lotion by incorporating sterilized ingredients and specific skin-safe formulations. The lotion is sterilized and formulated with skin-compatible substances, transforming it from a generic unsterilized product to a medically safe transfer medium that eliminates infection risk while maintaining ease of application.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs disposable applicators and pre-packaged sterilized transfer lotions that are single-use only. This eliminates the need for repeated sterilization of equipment and ensures each application uses a fresh, sterile product, thereby preventing cross-contamination and infection while keeping the process simple.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #27Cheap short-living objects (Disposable)

2Ease of operation

If traditional transfer lotions are used, then the application process is straightforward, but the stencils do not remain on the skin long enough

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvestraightforward applicationVSAvoidstencil retention time

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSDuration of action of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses a composite transfer lotion formulation that combines multiple functional ingredients: sterilized base lotion, skin-adhesion promoters, and stencil-fixing agents. This composite material provides both ease of application and extended stencil retention on the skin, resolving the contradiction between simple application and long-lasting effect.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The patent modifies the physical and chemical parameters of the transfer lotion to optimize both application ease and stencil retention. By adjusting viscosity, adhesion properties, and evaporation rate of the lotion formulation, it achieves straightforward application while ensuring the stencil remains firmly attached to the skin throughout the tattooing process.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

3Device complexity

If traditional transfer lotions are used, then the process requires minimal formulation steps, but the lotions are not specifically formulated for skin use

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveformulation complexityVSAvoidskin compatibility

Core Design Contradiction:

Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the formulation parameters by using sterilized, skin-specific ingredients with controlled concentrations. The transfer lotion is specifically formulated with skin-compatible substances and proper pH balance, transforming it from a generic formulation to a medically safe product while maintaining relatively simple application procedures.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes
