Basic Airbrush Tattoo Technique

• Set you regulator to between 10 to 13lbs for gravity feeds and 12 to 15lbs for siphon feed.
  • Too much pressure will cause the stencil to rise away from the skin.
• Spray the skin with 70% alcohol and let dry completely.
  • Not letting the alcohol dry will cause the ink to run
• Make sure all of the brushes with the colors you will be using are operational and free of blockages before starting the TAT.
• Place the stencil against the skin and make sure all of the edges are secure to prevent under spray behind the stencil.
  • Position and reposition until the all parts of the stencil completely cover the skin.
• Aim your brush at a solid part of the stencil incase of splatter.
• Always press the trigger first then slowly pull back until you see ink.
• Brush from side to side working down the stencil in thin coats. 2 coats are the best and will produce the best color.  Thinner coats equal better quality and a longer lasting TAT.
  • Never hold the brush still while spraying ink it will run and dry slower.
• Remove the stencil and powder the TAT with a talc or any other powder to dry and help last longer. 
• Always make sure your customer leaves with proper care and removal instructions.
