The Airbrush Tattoo Workshop Series I. featuring Pashur was a huge success! EBA filled all 14 seats two weeks prior to the class. According to our
post class surveys:
“The class was worth the price.”
“Great class and great product!”
And all students strongly agreed that they “learned a great deal from the
class”.
On Tuesday, May 1, 2012, European Body Art introduced the long awaited plastic bottle for the ZeroG airbrush. The bottle size is 10ml which equals to 0.5 oz. The new airbrush bottle comes in a clear PETG material so the users can easily identify the shade as well as the amount of the paint inside the bottle. The plastic material is a great alternative to glass especially for airbrush tattoo operations at amusement parks, water parks or locations where hard/concrete floors are the norm.
EBA GripFx is a water based medical grade adhesive that provides an excellent yet flexible grip for glitter tattoos, prosthetics, stencils and other body art applications requiring an adhesive. The GripFX exclusive formula allows for both a brush and an airbrush application (designed and tested with the ZeroG airbrush).

This gravity fed airbrush, with patent pending technology, has revolutionized the airbrush industry and massively changed the way artists can operate, with zero limitations.

The stencil-friendly applications help simplify your business and help to expedite customers wait time. EBA also includes a unique training DVD with each ZeroG purchase that teaches all skill levels how to use the ZeroG airbrush and will help troubleshoot any problems an artist might have.

PREPARING YOUR BUSINESS FOR A SUCCESSFUL SUMMER SEASON
With summer approaching, our busy season is just around the corner. Being prepared for the increase in business is the most important thing you can to do to ensure your profitability. EBA not only wants to make sure that you are prepared, we want to make sure that your business is growing as well. It is extremely important to be organized, set goals, and be adaptive to change. This will help make sure you have a successful summer.
Here are tips that will help you better prepare for the busy season:
ADD NEW GOODS AND SERVICES
By adding new products you will also be adding exciting features that will allow your customers to have a variety of choices to fit their needs.
Airbrush face painting is a quickly growing trend for children and adults alike. Because a stencil is used, more intricate and artistic designs are being seen on the market. No longer is the norm childish, hand painted face designs. EBA has initiated a new fad of body painting by bringing our customers designs geared towards a more mature audience.
With FacilFaces, Airbrush Face Painting is a quick and easy system that offers you a clean and crisp way to create exciting designs for your more demanding customers. This will allow you to expand into more areas and add more services, rather than limiting yourself. You will find that applying airbrush face painting is just as easy as airbrush tattoos.
2. New designs
EBA carries a wide variety of airbrush tattoo stencils that are themed to fit your business needs. EBA has designs from extra small to full sleeve tattoos, making sure that you can offer designs that your customers want. Adding new designs and expanding your inventory lets your customers see that your business is growing and it gives them a chance to try out new temporary tattoos!
3. New colors: Adding new colors gives you an opportunity to charge more for your designs.
a. NEW metallic COLORS
b.. Florescent
4. Glitter
5. New Work Station
BE PROACTIVE
1. Events and Location
Make sure you have the right booth location at events. It sounds obvious to suggest that, but location is key at events. You will need to stay in close contact with the layout coordinator in order to ensure that you have the spot that you want. The corners of the main isles are the best locations and attract the most traffic. If you are at an event with a carnival, try to get a spot near the entrance of the carnival or on the midway that shuffles the guest towards the carnival. You may not always get the spot that you want, but your chances are much higher if you try. Start planning the events NOW!!
2. Marketing
a. Having the right DISPLAY is important; make sure that your business looks professional. Choose from EBA’s professional banners and ask us how we can help you customize your displays and signs.
b. Get your name displayed. Add specials such as, “NEW” Designs, “Buy 1 get 1 half off” – people like deals, especially in this current economy.
