Wiser's Airbrush TattooPro Stencil - Big Ink - Rockabilly

Wiser's Airbrush TattooPro Stencil - Big Ink - Rockabilly

The Wiser's Airbrush TattooPro Stencil - Big Ink - Rockabilly is a large airbrush stencil in the Big Ink format (20 x 25 cm), designed by bodypainter and graffiti artist Wiser Oner. The design features a rockabilly pin-up cameo in an ornate vintage frame, finished with stars, dice elements and flame texture for an authentic old-school tattoo-flash feel.

The positive and negative parts pop out of the sheet separately, so you can mix this design endlessly with other TattooPro Stencils. A fresh 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 will last hundreds of uses, making each stencil a sound investment.

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 in position. Spray the base shape through the negative part first, then replace the positive part for the fine details of the pin-up cameo, vintage frame and flame texture. Work in thin layers and build up gradually.

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 use. Always check the ink label for the minimum age recommendation.

Extra tips for a professional result

• Prevent smudges and keep your hands clean. Wear nitrile gloves so the hand holding the stencil stays ink-free.
• Add texture and spatter effects. Use Airbrush Stipple Tips to add targeted texture, perfect for a stippled flame effect or a subtle shadow around the dice elements.
• Work from large areas to fine details. An Airbrush Compressor with pressure control lets you dial in the right pressure for both the large areas of the vintage frame and the fine details of the stars.

The best inks for a realistic rockabilly tattoo

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

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

When to use this rockabilly stencil

The pin-up and vintage-frame design works year-round. A few occasions where this rockabilly tattoo stencil pays for itself:

• Rockabilly and vintage themed parties: the pin-up cameo design is a natural fit for a 50s and 60s atmosphere.
• Festivals and events (old-school tattoo flash): classic flash with stars, dice and flame texture stands out without going over the top.
• Fancy dress and cosplay (50s pin-up, greaser, hot-rod): a temporary tattoo completes the costume instantly.
• Theatre and film (50s/60s settings, vintage drama): quick to apply on set and easy to remove after the shoot.
• Body painting competitions (large surface for sleeves): the Big Ink format provides plenty of coverage for a striking part of a full-arm look.
