Wiser's Airbrush TattooPro Stencil - Butterflys & Bugs

Wiser's Airbrush TattooPro Stencil - Butterflys & Bugs

The Wiser's Airbrush TattooPro Stencil - Butterflys & Bugs is an insect and nature design from the hand of bodypainting and graffiti artist Wiser Oner. This Mylar stencil (20 x 25 cm) features a death's-head moth with skull pattern on its wings, a spider with web, a butterfly, a ladybug and a scarab beetle. Together they create a boho, witchy or gothic feel that works on its own or combined.

Thanks to the positive and negative parts you press out of the sheet, you can mix and match this design endlessly with other TattooPro Stencils. Every time a unique airbrush tattoo.

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 quickly pays for itself.

How to use the TattooPro Stencil

Start by cleaning the skin with isopropyl alcohol (99%). A grease-free surface helps the ink bond properly.

Place the stencil on the skin and hold it firmly in position. Airbrush the base shape through the negative part first, then reposition the positive part for the fine details of the wings, the web and the other insects. 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 on with a powder brush or soft sponge.

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

Extra tips for a professional result

• Keep hands clean and prevent smudging. Wear nitrile gloves so the hand holding the stencil stays clean throughout.
• Add texture and splatter effects. Use Airbrush Stipple Tips to apply targeted spatter - great for a stippled shadow around the web or a dark edge framing the death's-head moth.
• Work from large to fine. An Airbrush Compressor with pressure control lets you dial in the right airflow for both the broad wing surfaces and the tiny scarab details.

The best inks for a realistic butterflys & bugs tattoo

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

• ProAiir Hybrid stays looking great and waterproof for 1 day on the skin. Cosmetic alcohol base, safe for the face and easy to remove with liquid soap. First choice for festivals, events and children's face painting.
• ProAiir Ink lasts 3 to 7 days on the body. Developed specifically for temporary tattoos on the body, not the face. Ideal when the tattoo needs to stay put for several days - holidays or multi-day festivals.
• EBA Endura stays water-, sweat- and transfer-proof for up to 7 days. Dries instantly, no cracking, also works on prosthetics. The professional choice for theatre, film and SFX work.

When to use this butterflys & bugs stencil

An insect and nature design works all year round. Here are a few occasions where this airbrush tattoo stencil butterflys and bugs earns its keep:

• Insect and nature tattoos: the death's-head moth, spider, butterfly, ladybug and scarab create a full nature-inspired look on the arm, shoulder or décolleté.
• Festivals and events (boho, witchy, dark academia): the mix of light and dark insects suits a wide range of festival themes from summer-boho to gothic.
• Themed parties and cosplay (gothic, fairy, woodland): the death's-head moth adds an instant mystic or gothic touch, while the butterfly and ladybug work for fairy and woodland looks.
• Theatre and film (mystic settings, horror): the spider with web and the scarab slot straight into mystic, horror or fantasy production contexts.
• Body painting competitions (mix with flower or moth stencils): combine this sheet with floral or moth stencils from the TattooPro range for a complete nature sleeve.
