On a last minute errand to find an airbrush artist willing to do a custom order for my boss, I found this place by googling around online. Airbrush-4-U is similar to the kind of thing you'd find at commercialized beach cities, like Destin or Panama City, but with more of an Atlanta flair: blaring rap and hip hop music playing on mini speakers while the music video plays on a small screen, all inside a small black wooden kiosk/hut in Underground Atlanta.
The two guys that work the place were very nice and accommodating to my somewhat strange order specifications, and the final product came out great. I did bring my own products to be airbrushed - something tells me they didn't have much there to choose from (or nothing that I could see). It took around 2 hours, and it was $71.20 for the artwork on the jeans and shirt. Though I don't have a lot of experience with airbrush purchases, this seems a bit steep for me, especially considering I brought my own clothing. The order was pretty complicated and involved a lot of writing, so it's justified.
If you're looking for a personal gift idea, Airbrush-4-U lets you get pretty creative (the girl in front of me got her name in pink on a pair of Converse high-tops). Parking is much easier than I thought - the deck between Central and Pryor on MLK Dr. gets you practically straight inside the mall, and it only set me back $3. While you wait for your order, you can do some shopping or eat at one of Underground's many food court and snack cart options.
