The application process is simple. First the skin is wiped with alcohol to guarantee a clean surface, then the paint is applied using a stencil. The process can take up to half an hour if the design is complicated and requires multiple colors.
Once the tattoo is finished, any overspray is removed and the design is sprinkled with talc to help it dry. With proper care, the airbrushed tattoo can last for 7-14 days.
It should especially be protected from soap and water; before bathing or swimming, you can cover your tattoo with a light coat of petroleum jelly to help prolong its life. Related to airbrushed tattoos are tattoos applied with body paint. These designs tend to last for several days and are very easy to apply. Options include paints that shimmer, paints with glitter, and glow in the dark paints.
