Learning About The Fine Art Of Airbrush Tattoo
There is an alternative to permanent tattooing. It does not have to be the wipe and stick decals found in machines. There is a quick method available to those who do not wish to be left with a lasting mark and who also do not want the pain and risk associated with permanent inking. The airbrush tattoo has risen in popularity due to its ease of application. It is very similar, and could indeed be called the same thing, as the sunless tanning applications found at tanning salons.
In the process of creating an airbrush tattoo a design template is placed on clean, dry skin. The colors are selected and loaded into a specialized air gun which will blow pressurized air out in short burst when the trigger is compressed. The airbrush tattoo artist places the colors where the customer indicated upon the design and then will apply a top coat to help ensure longevity of the tattoo designs.
The process is actually identical to that of painting a car. It is best to layer the color than to apply too heavy of a coat. The heavier the paint is then the more chance for runs to occur. Clean up for the artist is very simple. An alcohol solution on a cotton ball can remove any of the excess paint or smudges. As with the temporary tattoo, the airbrush tattoo is limited in the amount of time it will last. Repeated showers or baths and articles of clothing rubbing against it will cause the tattoo to erode. But unlike its permanent counterpart, the artwork does not have to be removed with a costly tattoo removal procedure.
Kids are fascinated by tattoos. Restaurants, pizza places and even grocery stores all have vending machines that spit out temporary tattoos. Carnivals and festivals often have face painting booths to add fanciful lions, hearts or white, puffy clouds to a child’s face or hands. An airbrush tattoo station at your child’s next birthday party will be a sure fire hit with his or her friends.
The drawback to the airbrush tattoo, besides its lack of permanency, is that they are often hard to find. Tattoo parlors usually do not offer these less expensive features. Many times it becomes a matter of finding someone familiar with airbrush design. A good source could be a local nail salon. Many nail designs feature airbrush art and the operator could easily do one on the skin. The difference would be in the paint.
Before you go out and get a bit of ink that is going to be with you until you depart from this world, consider trying out an airbrush tattoo first. You can get an idea of what you like as well as where you want to place it. Do not look at it as being a knock-off version of the real thing but more as a bit of research into a lasting investment. The idea behind tattooing your body is to be happy with the result, not regretting it ten years later.
