Wiser's Airbrush TattooPro Stencil - African Elephant

Wiser's Airbrush TattooPro Stencil - African Elephant

The Wiser's Airbrush TattooPro Stencil - African Elephant is a 20 x 25 cm Mylar stencil designed by body paint and graffiti artist Wiser Oner. The sheet features a close-up African elephant head, a row of elephant silhouettes on the savannah, an outline of the African continent and acacia trees. Together they create a striking Africa statement that stands out at any event.

The positive and negative parts press out separately, so you can combine this design endlessly with other TattooPro Stencils. Every time a unique airbrush tattoo.

TattooPro is a professional airbrush stencil line developed for body artists. The Mylar material is solvent-proof and with proper care will last hundreds of uses, making a stencil a quick investment to recoup.

How to use the TattooPro Stencil

Start by cleaning the skin with isopropyl alcohol (99%). A grease-free surface gives the ink the best adhesion.

Place the stencil on the skin and hold it firmly in place. Spray the base shape through the negative part first, then replace the positive part for the fine details of the elephant head and savannah silhouettes. Build up in thin layers and take your time.

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

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

Extra tips for a professional result

• Avoid smudges and keep your hands clean. Wear nitrile gloves so the hand holding the stencil stays ink-free.
• Add texture and depth. Use Airbrush Stipple Tips to stipple targeted dots on the skin, perfect for a rough, leathery texture on the elephant head.
• Work from large areas to fine details. An Airbrush Compressor with pressure control lets you set the right pressure for both the broad savannah shapes and the fine acacia tree details.

The best inks for a realistic African Elephant tattoo

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

• ProAiir Hybrid stays beautiful and waterproof on the skin for 1 day. Cosmetic alcohol base, skin-friendly for the face and easy to remove with liquid soap. First choice for festivals, events and children's parties.
• ProAiir Ink looks great on the body for 3 to 7 days. 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.
