Airbrush Tattoos, Glitter Tats & Henna in Minneapolis & the Twin Cities
A Touch of Magic Entertainment brings professional airbrush tattoos, glitter tattoos, and mehndi henna to birthday parties, corporate events, school carnivals, senior lock-ins, festivals, and celebrations of every kind throughout Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the greater Twin Cities metro. Our artists use only FDA-compliant, cosmetic-grade products — safe, stunning, and a guaranteed hit at any event.
Airbrush Tattoos — Minneapolis & Twin Cities Events
Airbrush tattoos are one of the most popular entertainment add-ons in the Twin Cities — and once your guests see the results, it’s easy to understand why. Our Minnesota airbrush artists use only FDA-compliant, cosmetic-grade airbrush makeup — not ink, not hazardous chemicals. The result is vibrant, detailed body art that’s safe enough to apply to the face, lasts 3–5 days with normal care, and removes immediately with oil or alcohol.
Our airbrush artists are skilled at serving large groups without sacrificing artistry — making them ideal for high-attendance events where speed matters as much as quality.
Three Airbrush Styles to Fit Every Event
We offer three levels of airbrush design to match your audience, timeline, and budget:
- Simple Stencil — fast, clean, and perfect for high-volume events or younger guests
- Medium Splash — a step up in detail and color, great for mixed-age crowds
- Designer Tats — our most popular option for teens and adults; these look so real, guests do a double-take. Full sleeves, tribal designs, detailed scenes — all the fun of a tattoo, with zero commitment
Can’t find a design that fits your event theme? We can create custom stencils for school logos, company brands, sports teams, and more.
Perfect for Water & Outdoor Events
Airbrush Hats — A Crowd Favorite
Our airbrush artists don’t just work on skin. We also create stunning one-of-a-kind designs on trucker hats and knit beanies — no two alike. Guests choose their style and vibe, and our artists bring it to life on the spot. Whether you supply the hats or we do, it’s a seamless experience your guests will rave about. Airbrush hats are especially popular for Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, corporate events, and senior parties.

Glitter Tattoos — Sparkle for All Ages & Genders
Don’t let the name fool you — glitter tattoos aren’t just for girls. Our design menu includes bold, eye-catching styles that are hugely popular with boys, teens, and adults just as much as with the princesses and butterfly fans in the crowd. From sports emblems and superhero symbols to intricate florals and abstract designs, there’s something for every guest.
We use only cosmetic-grade adhesive and cosmetic-grade glitter, designed to last 5–7 days and remove cleanly with oil or alcohol. Our glitter tattoo artists are fast, friendly, and skilled at keeping lines moving while delivering designs guests are genuinely excited about.
Glitter tattoos are also a fantastic option for outdoor and water events — they hold up where face paint can’t, and the sparkle effect is even more dramatic in sunlight.
Mehndi Henna — Traditional Art, Safely Done
Henna is one of the oldest art forms in the world, and our artists bring genuine skill and cultural respect to every design. We use only plant-based henna with essential oils — free from chemicals and PPD (para-phenylenediamine), which is found in dangerous “black henna” products that can cause serious skin and organ damage.
Real henna is brownish-green when applied. Once the paste is removed, it leaves a rich tea-colored stain that gradually darkens over the next couple of days and lasts 2–3 weeks. If someone offers you “black henna” or tells you henna comes in other colors — walk away.
Our henna artists offer small, medium, and large design menus and can adjust choices to maximize the number of guests served within your event window. And henna is far more than paisley and flowers — our team draws from design traditions spanning cultures worldwide, and can accommodate custom designs when time allows.
Henna is especially popular for wedding showers, Mitzvahs, Quinceañeras, cultural celebrations, and corporate events with an international theme.

Airbrush, Glitter Tats & Henna — FAQ
What is the difference between airbrush tattoos and face painting?
Airbrush tattoos and face painting both use FDA-compliant cosmetic products, but differ in application, speed, and durability. Face painting is applied freehand with a brush or sponge and is ideal for detailed, colorful designs. Airbrush uses a compressor and airbrush gun with stencils, and tends to be faster — reaching 20–30 guests per hour for simple designs, versus 15–20 for face painting. Airbrush also holds up better against water and weather, making it the better choice for outdoor or pool events. Many clients book both for a complete entertainment station.
How many guests can you serve per hour with airbrush, glitter tats, or henna?
Speed depends on design complexity and the number of colors used. In general: airbrush can serve 20–30 guests per hour for simple stencil designs, or 15 per hour for our popular Designer Tats. Glitter tattoos and henna typically serve 15–20 guests per hour. For large events, we recommend booking multiple artists — we’ll help you calculate the right staffing for your guest count and time window.
When should I choose airbrush tattoos over face painting?
Choose airbrush when speed is a priority, when your event involves water or outdoor activities, or when your audience skews older (teens and adults tend to prefer airbrush). Choose face painting for colorful full-face designs or when you want maximum creative detail. Many events book both services side by side for the best of both worlds.
Are your products safe for kids and people with sensitive skin?
Yes. We use only FDA-compliant, cosmetic-grade airbrush makeup, cosmetic-grade glitter with skin-safe adhesive, and pure plant-based henna with essential oils. We never use craft glitter, acrylic paint, ink, or chemical “black henna.” All products are designed for skin application and are removable with oil or alcohol.
What does henna look like when it’s first applied?
Fresh henna paste is brownish-green in color. Once the paste is removed, the stain underneath is a light tea color that deepens and darkens over the following 24–48 hours. The final stain typically lasts 2–3 weeks. Photos in our gallery are taken immediately after application — expect the final result to be noticeably richer in color.
What setup do you need at the venue?
For all services, we need a 4-foot table and 2 chairs per artist (two artists can share a 6-foot table). Outdoor events require full shelter from the elements — we can provide a 10′ × 10′ tent for a nominal fee if needed. Airbrush artists also require an electrical outlet within 3 feet of the setup area. For large groups, we recommend a dedicated line manager to keep things moving and maximize guest coverage.
Can you create custom designs for our event theme or brand?
Yes! We can create custom stencils for school logos, sports teams, company brands, event themes, and more. Let us know your vision when you reach out for a quote and we’ll make it happen.
Do you offer airbrush tattoos for corporate events in Minneapolis?
Absolutely. Airbrush tattoos and glitter tats are a standout activity at company picnics, grand openings, client appreciation events, health fairs, and team-building gatherings throughout the Twin Cities. Adults love the Designer Tats in particular — they’re a memorable, conversation-starting experience that elevates any corporate event.
