MAKING YOUR OWN STENCIL
Using self-adhesive paper, find a design
you like - a simple shape works best.
Place stencil material over picture. Trace
around image.
Cut away the pieces using a sharp blade.
IMPORTANT: Remember the bits that you cut away will be
coloured sections on your skin when you spray the design.
REMOVING TATTOOS
Most make up removers or soap and water will remove your
tattoo.

TROUBLESHOOTING
THERE IS GAS BUT NO COLOUR SPRAYING THROUGH
THE AIRBRUSH.
1. Using a pin, check the two small breather holes in the bot-
tle Nozzle are not blocked. If you cannot unblock them,
either wash the Nozzle or use a new one.
2.TurntheFlowAdjustmentclockwisetoallowmorecolour
to flow.
3. The Airbrush Nozzle may be blocked. Try turning the Flow
Adjustorfullyclockwiseandthenanti-clockwise.
4. Ensure you have fitted the Feeder Tube to the Nozzle.
5. The Airbrush may need cleaning.
THERE IS LITTLE GAS AND NO COLOUR SPRAYING
THROUGH THE AIRBRUSH.
This means the CO
2
Gas Canister is low in pressure, either
from continuous spraying or because it is running out.
1. If you have been spraying continuously this lowers the gas
pressure. Leave the Airbrush for 10-15 minutes for the
pressure to recover.
2. If, after 10-15 minutes, the pressure has not recovered,
change the CO
2
Gas Canister for a new one.
NOTE: If opening the Airbrush with a CO
2
Gas Canister in
place, the CO
2
gas will escape through the vent in the base
of the Airbrush. This can be very cold and care should be
taken to avoid holding the Airbrush at this point.
THE AIRBRUSH HAS BECOME NOISY DURING USE.

pressure.
THE TATTOO ISN’T DRYING VERY WELL.
This means the application of colour is too thick.
1. Turn the Flow Adjustor anti-clockwise to reduce the
colour flow.
2. Try spraying further away.
3.Remember to shake the Body Ink bottle before use,
it is common for the colour to separate slightly.
4. Ensure the Airbrush is kept moving while spraying.
THE COLOUR HAS RUN UNDER THE STENCIL.
This probably means the colour has been sprayed too thickly.

flow.
2. Try spraying further away. Remember to spray between
3-6 cm away from the skin.
3. To remove the excess colour from the stencil, wipe lightly
with some tissue and wait for any remaining colour to dry.
4. Ensure the stencil is pushed firmly against the skin.
MY TATTOO LOOKS DULL.
More than 1 layer of colour may be required to bring out the
true colour of your tattoo. For example, if you have naturally
pale skin you may require two applications. Alternatively, if
you are dark skinned then you may need to apply 2-3 layers
of the ink to show the true colour. Each layer should be
sprayed very finely, allowing 3-4 minutes for the ink to dry.
You must build up the colour.
