8. What kind of airbrush do you recommend for airbrush body art?

Answers: Over the past few years we have experimented with many different types of airbrushes. We have found the Iwata Eclipse HP to be the most functional for our purpose as it has been the most reliable, requiring the least amount of maintenance. The Iwata works well with pigment rich ITD formula Body Paints. If you are using a thinned down variety of paint (they are out there on the market) you might get away with a Vega 2000 or Pache (though these two guns tend to require considerably more maintenance).

The latest fad out there is the multi color all in one airbrush system. With this system all colors are funnelled through to one brush. Since water resistant paints need to be shaken, this system poses an immediate draw back, as all of the paint containers are connected to one mechanism. Also the single gun must be cleaned out before each color change (a three color tattoo will take considerably longer with this system). If you are doing high volume work you may want to have two people spraying, and this would require two systems (very expensive). This airbrush system tends to clog a lot, waste paint, and slow the process down.
