Doug,

    I do detailed piercings from paper patterns and I use rubber cement.
    Just about anywhere that carries stationary should have it. Coat both
    metal and paper separately, allow to them to dry, then using tweezers
    position the design onto the metal. If you get it wrong no biggie,
    peel it off, rub the rubber cement off and try again. When it all
    over just peel off the  and rub off any excess cement left. 

    If everything is clean when I apply the paper I rarely get the
    problem with the pattern coming off while piercing, but if it does, I
    just peel up that part, clean the whole area reapply glue to both
    sides again and good as when first applied. This problem only happens
    to me about 1 time out of 10 though. 

    If I'm careful I can actually reuse the patterns, I keep them for
    reference.
