Wiser's Airbrush TattooPro Stencil -Classic Tribals

Wiser's Airbrush TattooPro Stencil - Classic Tribals

The Wiser's Airbrush TattooPro Stencil - Classic Tribals is designed by bodypaint and graffiti artist Wiser Oner. This 20 x 25 cm Mylar stencil features three classic tribal designs with sharp points and sweeping lines, to use as standalone pieces or as arm and shoulder tattoos. Bold geometry, powerful composition, instantly recognisable as tribal.

The positive and negative parts press out of the sheet separately, so you can mix and combine this design endlessly with other TattooPro Stencils. A unique airbrush tattoo every time.

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

How to use the TattooPro Stencil

Start by cleaning the skin with isopropyl alcohol (99%). A grease-free surface improves ink 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 for the sharp points and fine lines of the tribal motifs. Work in thin layers and build up gradually.

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

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

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 splatter effects. With Airbrush Stipple Tips you can direct fine spatters exactly where you want them, great for a stippled shadow along the sweeping lines or a rough ink-splatter effect at the tips of the tribal.
• Work from large to fine. An Airbrush Compressor with pressure control lets you set exactly the right air pressure for both broad areas and the fine tribal lines.

The best inks for a realistic classic tribals tattoo

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

• ProAiir Hybrid stays looking great and waterproof on skin for 1 day. Cosmetic alcohol base, safe 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 body tattoos, not for the face. Ideal when the tattoo needs to last several days, such as on holiday or a multi-day festival.
• EBA Endura lasts up to 7 days, water-, sweat- and transfer-proof. Dries instantly, no cracking, also suitable on prosthetics. The pro choice for theatre, film and SFX work.

When to use this classic tribals stencil

Tribal designs work all year round. A few occasions where this classic tribals tattoo stencil earns its keep:

• Classic tribal tattoo looks: sharp points and sweeping lines deliver an instantly recognisable tribal style, as a standalone piece or as an arm or shoulder tattoo.
• Festivals and events (90s/2000s revival): tribal flash was the defining festival style of the 90s and 2000s and is firmly back in fashion.
• Theme parties and cosplay (warrior, fantasy, primitive): powerful motifs that suit warrior, fantasy and primitive characters.
• Theatre and film (action, fantasy): clean tribal patterns are widely used for action and fantasy characters on stage and on camera.
• Body painting competitions (sleeve, shoulder, back): combine this sheet with other TattooPro designs for a full tribal sleeve.

Frequently asked questions

How long does an airbrush tattoo last?

It depends on the ink. ProAiir Hybrid stays looking great and waterproof for about 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 any result.

How many times can you reuse this stencil?

The Mylar stencil is solvent-proof and with proper care lasts hundreds of uses. Clean it immediately after use with isopropyl alcohol if you 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 three tribal designs fit comfortably on the forearm, shoulder, chest or upper thigh. For a full tribal sleeve, combine this sheet with other stencils from the TattooPro range.
