An airbrush tattoo is a temporary form of tattooing your body. This method is ideal for people that only want a tattoo for a short while and want to make an impression at a party or club. You can pick out a small area on your body to get an airbrush tattoo or get your entire body temporarily tattooed.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Find a facility that does airbrush tattoos. Some tattoo shops and other specialty shops will have airbrushing capabilities.

  2. Step 2

    Pick out a design. The facility will have a catalog of the airbrush designs that they offer. Look through the catalog and find the design that most appeals to you.

  3. Step 3

    Allow the tattoo artist to transfer the design in black ink onto your skin. This stenciled design provides the outline for the tattoo.

  4. Step 4

    Permit the airbrushing professional to color in the design using an airbrush sprayer and your chosen colors.

  5. Step 5

    Get a home kit. If you feel that you can give yourself an airbrush tattoo, you can purchase a kit that gives you the supplies to tattoo your body at home. The kit by Body Art includes stencils, an airbrush sprayer and body art paint.

Tips & Warnings
  • Airbrush tattoos typically last about three days, but can occasionally last up to a week.
  • You can use rubbing alcohol and cotton balls to remove the airbrush tattoo.
  • Avoid shampoos, conditioners and lotions on the spot of the airbrush tattoo. This will cause the temporary tattoo to quickly fade.
