Airbrush tattoos do cost money and customers are not going to spend that money if their tattoo does not last for at least close to what is expected. So make sure that you take all the prep and post steps to ensure that they do get a great realistic looking tattoo.

The cold water and salt will help to keep the shirt when it is laundered from fading or bleeding. Placing airbrush art onto t-shirts can be fun and exciting.

Show some pictures of your work and tell your audience how you created that design. Talk about the paints that you use, the types of airbrushes and so on and so forth.
