No Matter How Hard I Press The Tart Dough Down In The Shells To Remove The Air Below, The Tarts Still Bubble Up, And Get Indented.

Try putting some raw rice or beans in the tart —fill/cover the bottom—before baking

yes what kaleladi said — put a piece  of parchment over your  cold crust and fill like she said — 

they make “pie weights” for this purpose

Is this the kind of crust you can prick with a fork before baking?

I really need to invest in beads or the chain!  I usually use pinto beans, but last time I used rice.  What a disaster!  I spent half an hour picking rice out of my pie crust!  Lesson learned.

Yeah, yeah, I did forget to put waxed or parchment paper over my pie crust before adding the rice (my bad).

For individual tart shells I poke just a few tiny holes with my cake tester or toothpick. And as others have posted, pie weights. I have used dried beans for years. Keep stored in a large container, and just put in my pie shell with some parchment or waxed paper. Works like a charm.
