Wiser's Airbrush TattooPro Stencil - Island Tribal

Wiser's Airbrush TattooPro Stencil - Island Tribal

The Wiser's Airbrush TattooPro Stencil - Island Tribal is a Polynesian-inspired airbrush stencil designed by body paint and graffiti artist Wiser Oner. This 20 x 25 cm Mylar stencil features three separate elements: a Polynesian tribal armband panel, a tiki mask and a paisley-tribal element with curling patterns. Each part can be used on its own or combined freely for your own composition.

Thanks to the positive and negative pieces you press out individually, you can combine this design endlessly with other TattooPro Stencils. Every time a unique airbrush tattoo.

TattooPro is a professional airbrush stencil range developed for body artists. The Mylar material is solvent-proof and, with proper care, lasts 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 ensures better ink adhesion.

Place the stencil on the skin and hold it firmly in place. Spray the base shape first using the negative piece, then reposition the positive piece for the fine details of the tribal lines and geometric shapes. Work in thin layers and build up gradually.

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

Extra tips for a professional result

• Prevent smudging 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 spray targeted texture along the tribal lines of the tiki mask or add a stippled shading effect to the paisley curls for extra depth.
• Work from large areas to fine details. An Airbrush Compressor with pressure control lets you dial in the right pressure for both the broad armband sections and the fine tribal details.

The best inks for a realistic island tribal tattoo

Three ink types work with this stencil. Which you choose depends on the body area, the occasion and how long it needs 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 lasts 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 immediately, no cracking, also suitable on prosthetics. The pro choice for theatre, film and SFX work.

When to use this island tribal stencil

The tribal armband and tiki mask design works all year round. A few occasions where this island tribal tattoo stencil really pays off:

• Polynesian and Hawaiian theme parties: the tribal armband and tiki mask are a perfect fit for a luau or Hawaiian theme.
• Festivals and events: great for luau, tropical and surf-culture events where a bold temporary tattoo stands out.
• Themed parties and cosplay: ideal for Maori warrior, tiki and jungle looks, with the separate elements free to mix and match.
