Wiser's Airbrush TattooPro Stencil - Chinese Dragon

Wiser's Airbrush TattooPro Stencil - Chinese Dragon

The Wiser's Airbrush TattooPro Stencil - Chinese Dragon is an Eastern dragon design by bodypaint and graffiti artist Wiser Oner. This 20 x 25 cm Mylar stencil features a large Eastern dragon with scales and flames, a smaller dragon silhouette, a moon with star cluster and loose cloud elements you can combine freely. Perfect for creating a striking temporary dragon tattoo at Asian-themed parties, festivals or theatrical productions.

The positive and negative parts press out of the sheet separately, so you can combine this design endlessly with other TattooPro Stencils. A different 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, so 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. Spray the base shape of the dragon through the negative part first, then reposition the positive part for the fine details in the scales, flames and cloud elements. 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 skin use. Always check the ink label for the minimum age recommendation.

Extra tips for a professional result

• Keep your hands clean and prevent smudges. Wear nitrile gloves so the hand holding the stencil stays ink-free.
• Add texture and spatter effects. Use Airbrush Stipple Tips to place targeted spatters, perfect for a sparks or flame-burst effect around the dragon's scales and flames.
• Work from large to fine. An Airbrush Compressor with pressure control lets you set exactly the right air pressure for both large background areas and the finest details.

The best inks for a realistic Chinese dragon tattoo

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

• ProAiir Hybrid stays vivid 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 lasts 3 to 7 days on the body. 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 a multi-day festival.
• EBA Endura holds up to 7 days, water-, sweat- and transfer-proof. Dries instantly, no cracking, and works on prosthetics too. The pro choice for theatre, film and SFX work.

When to use this Chinese dragon stencil

An Eastern dragon design works year-round. A few occasions where this Chinese dragon airbrush stencil earns its keep:

• Asian-themed parties and Chinese New Year: the dragon is the most powerful symbol in Chinese mythology and fits perfectly alongside red lanterns, dragon processions and New Year decorations.
• Festivals and events (statement design): a large Eastern dragon with flames and clouds draws immediate attention and stands out as a statement tattoo in a busy festival setting.
• Themed parties and cosplay (samurai, ninja, fantasy): the design suits Japanese, Chinese and fantasy themes and combines well with other Eastern stencils.
• Theatre and film (Asian scenes, dragon mythology): the smaller dragon silhouette and cloud elements offer extra options for props, body decoration and background looks.
• Body painting competitions (mix with other Eastern stencils): combine the dragon, moon and cloud elements with other TattooPro designs for a complete Eastern sleeve or bodypaint composition.
