Wiser's Airbrush TattooPro Stencil - Police Department

Wiser's Airbrush TattooPro Stencil - Police Department

The Wiser's Airbrush TattooPro Stencil - Police Department is a bold law enforcement design by bodypaint and graffiti artist Wiser Oner. This 20 x 25 cm Mylar stencil features a police shield with star symbol and ornate frame, a police helicopter, a police car, a police hat and a 'Police Line Do Not Cross' tape. Each element presses out separately so you can mix and match freely for a different result every time.

Using the positive and negative pieces, you can combine this design endlessly with other TattooPro Stencils. A unique airbrush tattoo every single time.

TattooPro is a professional airbrush stencil range developed for body artists. The Mylar material is solvent-proof and with proper care it lasts hundreds of uses, so a stencil quickly pays for itself.

How to use the TattooPro Stencil

Start by cleaning the skin with isopropyl alcohol (99%). A grease-free surface gives the ink a much better grip.

Hold the stencil firmly against the skin. Spray the base shape through the negative piece first, then place the positive piece back to add the fine details of the badge, the star and the ornate frame. Build up in thin layers.

Want a longer-lasting result? Set the tattoo with setting powder and press the powder on gently with a powder brush or soft sponge.

Working with children? TattooPro stencils are designed for cosmetic airbrush inks suited to the skin. Always check the ink label for the minimum age recommendation.

Extra tips for a professional result

• Keep your hands clean and ink-free. Wear nitrile gloves so the hand holding the stencil stays clean throughout.
• Add texture and depth to the badge. Use Airbrush Stipple Tips to place targeted spatter exactly where you want it - great for a stippled shadow around the police shield or a raised-relief effect on the star.
• Work from large areas down to fine detail. An Airbrush Compressor with pressure control lets you dial in the right airflow for both broad coverage and precise linework.

The best inks for a realistic Police Department tattoo

Three ink types work with this stencil. Which one to choose depends on the body area, the occasion and how long you need it to last:

• ProAiir Hybrid stays vivid and waterproof for around 1 day. Cosmetic alcohol base, safe for the face and easy to remove with liquid soap. Top choice for festivals, events and kids' parties.
• ProAiir Ink looks great for 3 to 7 days on the body. Developed specifically for temporary tattoos on the body - not for the face. Ideal when the tattoo needs to last several days, such as on holiday or a multi-day festival.
• EBA Endura holds for up to 7 days, water-, sweat- and transfer-proof. Dries instantly, no cracking, and works on prosthetics too. The pro choice for theatre, film and SFX work.

When to use this Police Department stencil

A police design with shield, helicopter and 'Police Line' tape works all year round. A few occasions where this airbrush police department tattoo stencil earns its keep:

• Police events and tribute to first responders: a recognisable token of appreciation at service anniversaries, police open days or charity runs for emergency workers.
• Festivals and events: memorial events, charity runs and public safety events where law enforcement themes take centre stage.
• Themed parties and cosplay: police, detective or hero looks - the shield and 'Police Line' tape make the design instantly recognisable.
• Theatre and film: temporary cop drama and action props that go on quickly and come off just as fast after the shoot.
• Body painting competitions: mix this stencil with fire department or military stencils for a complete first responder sleeve.

Frequently asked questions

How long does an airbrush tattoo last?

It depends on the ink. ProAiir Hybrid stays vivid and waterproof for about 1 day, ProAiir Ink holds for 3 to 7 days on the body, and EBA Endura is water- and sweat-resistant for up to 7 days. Setting with setting powder extends every result.

How many times can you reuse this stencil?

The Mylar stencil is solvent-proof and with proper care it lasts hundreds of uses. Clean it straight after use with isopropyl alcohol if you have used ProAiir Ink or Endura, or with lukewarm water and mild soap after ProAiir Hybrid.

Does the design fit on a forearm or shoulder?

The stencil measures 20 x 25 cm. The elements - from the police shield to the 'Police Line' tape - fit comfortably on the forearm, shoulder, chest or thigh. For a larger composition, combine this sheet with other stencils from the TattooPro range.
