I have to put in my 2 cents here. DO NOT USE ADHESIVE STENCILS ON THE FACE!
I've been an airbrush body artist for 8 years and have used both adhesive and non-adhesive stencils. I'm not a fan of adhesive stencils in my airbrushing, but I use them for the glitter tattoos & Metal Tatz we do at parties. Adhesive stencils have their place in our industry and are invaluable for certain product applications, however, adhesive stencils are NOT face friendly. I'm not just saying this as an opinion, it's a fact. The pulling/sticking action is not something I would put any child through. What feels okay on an arm is completely different from the face. That's why we spray at 8-10 PSI on the face instead of the 20-25 PSI on the body. The possibility of a reaction to the adhesive residue (Yes, there IS a residue left by adhesive.) on the face is far greater then the body. The vinyl used to make the stencils is sign vinyl and the adhesive on the vinyl is not FDA compliant, nor is it a product that was ever intended for use on skin. This goes for ALL adhesive stencils, not just Phoenix Inkx. They only way to have adhesive stencils that are FDA compliant is to use a medical spray adhesive or the specialy designed sprays for body art use on the back of a non-adhesive stencil. Kat B.
