About Airbrush Temporary Tattoos

Temporary airbrush tattoos have been around since about 1998 and are largely used in the marketing, advertising and entertainment industry. Airbrush tattoos today so closely resemble real tattoos that many people cannot tell the difference because of the constant research and development of airbrush equipment and inks.

Like other temporary tattoos, they are applied to the surface of the skin and don't cause any damage to the skin. Airbrush temporary tattoos are created by placing a tattoo stencil on the skin and then the colors are selected and loaded to a specialized air gun. It will blow pressurized air out in short bursts when the trigger is compressed. The airbrush tattoo artist places the colors the customer selected in the design. The airbrush tattoo artist will then remove the stencil and fix any mistakes or smudges. Then they will apply a finishing layer or powder to help ensure longevity with the tattoo design.

Unlike temporary transfer tattoos where the tattoo design and colors are already determined, the artist can control delicate elements of the temporary tattoo while it is being put on, which is similar to the true permanent tattoo experience.

For long lasting results of your airbrush art tattoo, try to keep your temporary tattoo as dry as you can and gently pat it dry rather than rub it when you wash and dry it. Leaning on your tattoo as well as tight clothing can also cause it to smudge, so be careful if you want it to keep its effects for a while. Sweat and your body's natural oils can also effect how long the tattoo lasts. To help it last longer, apply baby powder after every time it gets wet as well as throughout the day to keep it dry.

A lot of people get them done as a testing method before getting permanently inked because the best part about airbrush tattoos are that they can be easily removed. Most types of airbrush tattoo inks and paints are alcohol-based. They can be removed by applying an oil or alcohol based product. Baby oil, mineral oil and suntan lotion have shown to work the best.

One fun part about airbrush temporary tattoos is you can create your own stencils. It's a very simple process of just getting stencil paper, poster board works well, a pencil, and an arts and crafts knife. Draw the design on the tattoo stencil paper and then carefully cut the design out. The airbrush tattoo artist can then use the tattoo stencil that you created and you can have your own unique art tattoo.

Most people get airbrush temporary tattoos at fairs or events where they have a professional airbrush tattoo artists available. Airbrush temporary tattoo kits are sold an

d include the air compressor where the paint is used, the paint, stencils and other supplies that are needed. To purchase a airbrush tattoo kit it can cost up to $700, but with proper instruction and practice, you could be doing airbrush temporary tattoos at events as well!

So if you're always wracking your brain for new ideas to add color to your child's or teen's birthday party, you should consider hiring an airbrush tattoo artist to come in and give the kids great temporary tattoos. The kids will have a blast showing their new 'ink' and you will have the satisfaction of knowing that it is not permanent.
