Temporary Tattoos And Body Art

The principal allure of airbrush tattoos to clients is that they look great but are temporary.

"Beauty accents have to be temporary because tastes and preferences change," says one industry supplier. "What we feel looks good on us changes with age and circumstance."

Even in winter in northern states such as Michigan and Minnesota, airbrush tattoos sell well. In terms of marketing, airbrush tattoos are the perfect service for events, special occasions and holidays.

"Valentine’s Day is the perfect holiday for lovers to airbrush hearts or a rose on their arm or back to impress their sweethearts," he says. "And who wouldn’t want to avoid being pinched on St. Patrick’s Day with a traditional four-leaf clover."

Another great way to make a bundle of dough is to target the high-school market, especially during football season. "During homecoming season, one salon operator told me he was airbrushing more than 30 kids a day," he adds. "They love to wear their school’s colors or mascot for that special night and then go home and scrub it off with baby oil or rubbing alcohol before school on Monday morning."

Another plus for tanning salon operators is that the application process isn’t difficult. Any employee can be an expert in a half-hour with the proper training. According to industry insiders, the process is so simple and no different than a technician airbrushing nails at a hair salon.

Airbrush tattoos can last up to 10 days if they are applied properly. The first step is to clean the skin with soap and water, then again with alcohol. It’s like the adage in the indoor tanning industry that healthy skin tans best. With airbrush tattoos, clean skin tattoos best.

Airbrush tattoos offer tanning salon clients the great way to express their personalities and to feel special. This fact, together with affordability and easy, fast application, makes airbrush tattoos the hottest new product and service in the entire cosmetics industry.
