Stencils Vol. 3 by Bobeus

For tattooers who want stronger foundations before the needle hits skin, Stencils 3.0  is a serious reference on the art before the tattoo. It focuses on Bobeus’ evolving stencil process—how ideas are built, simplified, and made to read clearly.

Stencils 3.0 is the third book in Bobeus’ Stencils series and marks a clear shift in approach: a rougher, freer visual language shaped by a push toward spontaneity and looser forms of expression.

From the artist

“The lockdowns have taught me that freedom is one of the most important things in my life. And in this edition, you’ll see a new rougher style—an exploration of looser and freer forms of expression.

This new approach has pushed me to embrace a spontaneous form of creativity and move outside my comfort zone. I hope this book will inspire you to find similar freedom in your own work.”

This title is especially useful if you want to:

• Study stencil-first thinking: clarity, silhouette, and readability
• Explore a rougher, freer approach without losing structure
• Build a repeat-use library of traditional tattoo-adjacent stencil reference

Edition note: Limited to 1,000 copies. Each book is hand-numbered by the artist.
