set-up an airbrush temporary tattoo

1. Firstly you will need to get yourself some equipment. When looking for an airbrush don't go for the cheapest one you can find, and there is no need to purchase a top of the line one either. Something in the mid range is ideal. You want your equipment to be reliable as it's going to be your main business tool that is responsible for making you profit. You should expect to pay around $100.00 for a good quality mid range airbrush

2. Step 2

   Your also going to require some airbrush stencils. There are two main types of airbrush stencils available there's the adhesive type and the non adhesive type. The adhesive type of airbrush stencil is much easier to use for a beginner. The non adhesive airbrush stencil takes alot more skill to use and is limited when it comes to using multiple colors as you have to hold it on as you paint your tattoo.

3. Step 3

   Your also going to need some body paint. There are quite a few on the market. Shop around but don't always shop on price. For a couple of extra dollars you can get a superior quality body paint. Make sure it is alcohol based and approved for use on the skin.

4. Step 4

   Now for a compressor: There are two main types, the silent type designed for studio type airbrushing and the noisy type designed for industrial use. They both do the job however ones very noisy (industrial type) and one is silent (studio type) You will pay more for the studio type but you have to determine whether or not noise is going to be a factor.

5. Step 5

   Once you have all of the equipment you need, it's time to get some events booked in. Get hold of your local events guide and start making some enquiries. Basically anywhere there is going to be a large crowd you will do well. The beauty of this business is that it attracts children and adults of all ages.
