Airbrush tattoos are applied using an airbrush tool and a stencil. The stencil is applied to the skin and one or more layers of ink is then sprayed onto the stencil to create a design. This temporary form of body art will last several days if it is properly cared for. One of the problems with this type of art is the danger of smearing, since the paint can run when wet. Using proper aftercare techniques will keep your temporary airbrush tattoo from smearing for days, allowing you to enjoy the design longer.
Instructions
1. Allow the tattoo to dry fully before touching. Contact with the fresh design can cause the ink to smear. Avoid touching with clothing and contact with water, sunscreen or moisturizer.
2. Set the tattoo using cornstarch, baby powder or cosmetic sealant powder. Apply a small sprinkling of powder to a wide cosmetic brush and gently dust the fully dried airbrush tattoo.
3. Cover the tattoo loosely with a waterproof wrap or plastic wrap when in contact with water. Blot dry immediately with paper towels after contact with water and reapply setting powder or sealant.
4. Avoid sleeping on the tattoo or tight clothing contacting the area. The friction from fabric will be enough to smear your tattoo.
