Wiser's Airbrush TattooPro Stencil - Big Ink - Japanese Tiger

Wiser's Airbrush TattooPro Stencil - Big Ink - Japanese Tiger

The Wiser's Airbrush TattooPro Stencil - Big Ink - Japanese Tiger is a large 20 x 25 cm Mylar stencil featuring a Japanese tiger head surrounded by cherry blossom branches and leaf motifs. The design comes from bodypainter and graffiti artist Wiser Oner, developed specifically for body artists working on large surfaces like sleeves or shoulder-to-hip pieces.

Thanks to the positive and negative parts you press out separately, you can combine this design endlessly with other TattooPro Stencils. A unique airbrush tattoo every time.

TattooPro is a professional airbrush stencil range developed for body artists. The Mylar material is solvent-proof and with proper care it will last hundreds of uses, meaning 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 better adhesion.

Place the stencil on the skin and hold it firmly. Use your airbrush to spray the base shape through the negative part first, then place the positive part back to add the fine details of the tiger head, cherry blossom branches and leaf motifs. Work in thin layers and build up gradually.

Want a longer-lasting result? Set the tattoo with setting powder and gently pat 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

• Prevent smudging and keep your hands clean. Wear nitrile gloves so the hand holding the stencil stays clean.
• Add texture and spatter effects. Use Airbrush Stipple Tips to create targeted stipple marks, perfect for a realistic fur texture on the tiger head or subtle depth in the cherry blossom branches.
• Work from large to fine. An Airbrush Compressor with pressure control lets you set the exact air pressure for both large surfaces and the fine leaf details.

The best inks for a realistic Japanese tiger tattoo

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

• ProAiir Hybrid stays vibrant and waterproof on skin for 1 day. Cosmetic alcohol base, gentle on the face and easy to remove with liquid soap. First choice for festivals, events and children's parties.
• ProAiir Ink stays looking great on the body for 3 to 7 days. Specifically developed for temporary tattoos on the body, not for the face. Ideal when the tattoo needs to last several days, such as on holiday or at a multi-day festival.
• EBA Endura holds for up to 7 days, water-, sweat- and transfer-proof. Dries immediately, no cracking, and works on prosthetics too. The pro choice for theatre, film and SFX work.

When to use this Japanese tiger stencil

A Japanese tiger head with cherry blossom works all year round. A few occasions where this Japanese tiger airbrush tattoo stencil pays for itself:

• Japanese irezumi-style tattoos: the large Big Ink format delivers the depth and composition that traditional irezumi tattoos demand.
• Festivals and events: a bold statement design that stands out from a distance, perfect as a centrepiece at a busy event.
• Theme parties and cosplay: wear it as a samurai, geisha or eastern fantasy character for an instantly recognisable look.
• Theatre and film: realistic tiger look for Japanese mythology productions, martial arts films or action scenes.
• Body painting competitions: the large surface lends itself perfectly to a detailed sleeve, combined with other TattooPro designs.

Frequently asked questions

How long does an airbrush tattoo last?

It depends on the ink. ProAiir Hybrid stays vibrant and waterproof for around 1 day, ProAiir Ink lasts 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 the result of any ink.

How many times can you reuse this stencil?

The Mylar stencil is solvent-proof and with proper care will last hundreds of uses. Clean it immediately 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 tiger head with cherry blossom fits comfortably on the forearm, shoulder, décolletage or thigh. For a full sleeve, combine this sheet with other stencils from the TattooPro range.
