Wiser's Airbrush TattooPro Stencil - Octopus

Wiser's Airbrush TattooPro Stencil - Octopus

The Wiser's Airbrush TattooPro Stencil - Octopus is a maritime stencil design by bodypainting and graffiti artist Wiser Oner. This 20 x 25 cm Mylar stencil features a large octopus with curling tentacles, a smaller octopus shape, wave elements and small stars. The separate elements combine freely, so you can create a different composition on skin every time.

Thanks to the positive and negative parts you press out of the sheet, 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, 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 gives the ink better adhesion.

Place the stencil on the skin and hold it firmly. Spray the base shape of the octopus through the negative part first, then place the positive part back for the fine details of the tentacles and wave elements. Build up in thin layers and take your time.

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

Extra tips for a professional result

• Prevent smudges and keep clean hands. Wear nitrile gloves so the hand holding the stencil stays clean.
• Add texture and splatter effects. Use Airbrush Stipple Tips to spray targeted spatters - ideal for a foamy water effect around the wave elements or a stippled depth shadow beneath the tentacles.
• Work from large to fine. An Airbrush Compressor with pressure control lets you dial in the right airflow for both large areas and the small stars and tentacle details.

The best inks for a realistic octopus tattoo

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

• ProAiir Hybrid stays vibrant and waterproof on skin for 1 day. Cosmetic alcohol base, friendly for the face and easy to remove with liquid soap. First choice for festivals, events and children's parties.
• ProAiir Ink looks great on the body for 3 to 7 days. Specifically developed for temporary tattoos on the body, not for the face. Ideal when the tattoo needs to last several days, for example 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 octopus stencil

An octopus design with wave and star elements works all year round. A few moments where this octopus airbrush tattoo stencil earns its keep:

• Themed parties and cosplay: ideal for pirate, sailor and mermaid looks.
