Wiser's Airbrush TattooPro Stencil - Wild West

Wiser's Airbrush TattooPro Stencil - Wild West

The Wiser's Airbrush TattooPro Stencil - Wild West is the western design from bodypaint and graffiti artist Wiser Oner. This 20 x 25 cm Mylar stencil features a longhorn cattle skull with horns, a second cattle skull, a silhouette horse, a cactus, a cowboy hat and a feather headdress. Mix and match the individual elements for a bold temporary wild west tattoo at a themed party, festival or cosplay event.

Thanks to the positive and negative parts you press out individually, you can combine this design endlessly with other TattooPro Stencils. A different original 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 lasts hundreds of uses, meaning the 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. Spray the base shape through the negative part first, then place the positive part back to add the fine details of the skulls, cowboy hat and feather headdress. Work in thin layers and build up gradually.

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

• Avoid stains and keep your hands clean. Wear nitrile gloves so the hand holding the stencil stays clean throughout.
• Add texture and spatter effects. Use Airbrush Stipple Tips to add weathered, dusty textures to the skulls and horse silhouette for an authentic desert feel.
• Work from broad to fine. An Airbrush Compressor with pressure control lets you set exactly the right air pressure for both large areas and fine details.

The best inks for a realistic Wild West tattoo

Three types of ink 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 vibrant and waterproof on the skin for 1 day. Cosmetic alcohol base, gentle enough for the face and easy to remove with liquid soap. First choice for festivals, events and children's parties.
• ProAiir Ink stays looking great for 3 to 7 days on the body. 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, also suitable for prosthetics. The professional choice for theatre, film and SFX work.

When to use this Wild West stencil

Longhorn skulls, a horse silhouette and a cowboy hat work all year round. A few occasions where this wild west airbrush tattoo stencil earns its keep:

• Western and cowboy-themed parties: cowboys, skulls and the feather headdress instantly set the right mood for any party.
• Festivals and events (country, rodeo): classic western flash that fits any outdoor event with a country or rodeo theme.
• Themed parties and cosplay (cowboy, indian, desert): combine individual elements for your own cowboy or desert look.
• Theatre and film (western, period drama): quick application of striking western motifs for characters in a period production.
• Body painting competitions (mix with hot-rods or horse stencils): combine with other TattooPro designs for a full western sleeve or body painting composition.
