March 18th, 2010I was wanting a temporary tattoo but transfers look childish and wear off, i heard black hena can be dangerous?
*henna (ran out of characters) lol.so is red henna fine??? where can i buy it, any dangers, how it works, will it help me gain skills for tattooing.
are there any good transfers u can get?? like, not the kiddy ones which wash off with water and crack, semi permanent or something?
thanks, and if you were wondering my reasoning for this is i think tattoos are beautiful but i feel i'm too young to commit to having one.
i feel this is mature instead of wrecklessly getting inked [=
thanks
xxxx Henna is a natural. Henna is a flowering plant.
Henna, produces a red-orange dye molecule, lawsone. This molecule has an affinity for bonding with protein, and thus has been used to dye skin, hair, fingernails, leather, silk and wool.
Other temporary tattoos can be made with Indigo.
More information here: http://www.indigopage.com/
You can buy tubes, similar to cake decorators icing, of prepared henna for body art at most East Indian markets, if you live an urban area. You can also find many stores online: http://www.mehandi.com/shop/
Both Henna and Indigo temporarily stain the skin, so they are VERY hard to remove, in case you make a mistake, which WILL happen. Its very hard to "paint" yourself or others the first few times. Beautiful mehandis (traditional East Indian henna art) take years of practice!
Your best choice may be to use Harquus Platinum
Harquus Platinum is:
â ¢ A resin-based paint made to look exactly like a tattoo
â ¢ FDA approved
â ¢ Can be removed with baby oil or 99% isopropyl alcohol
â ¢ Has no PPD: it does not penetrate or stain the skin
â ¢ Is a durable waterproof skin paint
â ¢ Is safe for children and adults
â ¢ Is used to safely, temporarily, create tattoos on actors for films
Information and buy here: http://www.mehandi.com/shop/harquusplati... As far as the henna goes, try to find one that's herbal without ink in it...the color comes out red to black depending on the amount of time you leave it on and your body temp....the warmer your body is, the darker it'll be. Basically it's a dark green paste that's filled into a cone and someone makes a design on you. Just let it fully dry, which takes hours, and scratch off the dried henna and underneath you'll see the color left behind...just don't put water and soap on it for as long as you can.
Tryy not to use black henna...it has chemicals/ink that can interact with your skin and cause irritation. Even if you don't feel any irritation, minimize the use of black henna...it won't kill you or anything, it's just not too good for repetitive use. It will, however, give you a darker (almost black) color in a shorter amount of time. Try to find an Indian beautician or just go to the Indian market and they should have henna and/or the cones.
Hope it helps!
