Airbrush tattoos are temporary tattoos that last around one to two weeks. People get it to experiment with tattoos, to go with an outfit, or just for novelty purposes. Start your own business applying these tattoos.

Process
Airbrush tattoos involve applying a stencil to the skin of the person being tattooed, using an airbrush to spray the ink onto the stencil, and then removing the stencil, which leaves the pattern on the skin.

What you’ll need to get started
Compressor

Stencils
Ink

You can get an airbrush kit from mainstream retailers, which includes the compressor and air brush attachment. Then you will just need to purchase the stencils and ink, which is a more niche product.

Tips
This is kind of a spur-of-the moment business, so you are going to have to target high-volume areas with lots of foot traffic, such as carnivals and fairs, shopping malls, and tourist areas close to the beach (you can have themed stencils made).

Business

Airbrush tattoos fall under the temporary body art or temporary tattoo segment.

  • Done using an airbrush and specialised airbrush inks/paints
  • Designs are airbrushed directly onto the skin
  • Last around 1-2 weeks before fading

The temporary body art industry caters to people who want body art designs without the permanence of traditional tattoos. It's popular at malls, events, beaches, festivals, parties and tourist destinations.
