Wiser's Airbrush TattooPro Stencil - Sugar Skulls

Wiser's Airbrush TattooPro Stencil - Sugar Skulls

The Wiser's Airbrush TattooPro Stencil - Sugar Skulls is a detailed airbrush stencil designed by bodypainter and graffiti artist Wiser Oner. This 20 x 25 cm Mylar stencil features a calavera skull with ornate patterns, cross shapes and rosary details - all the iconic imagery of the Day of the Dead tradition. Perfect for festivals, Halloween events and Dia de los Muertos-themed parties.

Thanks to the positive and negative parts you push out of the sheet separately, 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 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. Use your airbrush to spray the base shape through the negative part first, then place the positive part back for the fine details of the skull, ornate patterns and rosary elements. Work in thin layers and build up gradually.

Want a longer-lasting result? Set the tattoo with setting powder and gently dab the powder on 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 smudging and keep your hands clean. Wear nitrile gloves so the hand holding the stencil stays ink-free.
• Add texture and splatter effects. Use Airbrush Stipple Tips to place targeted splatter exactly where you want it - ideal for a blood-splat effect around the skull or a stippled shadow between the ornate patterns.
• Work from large to fine. An Airbrush Compressor with pressure control lets you dial in the right pressure for both broad areas and the finer details.
