I have been creating henna tattoos for 12 years now. I always source and mix my own henna, so I know exactly what is in
the mixture and only use natural products.
Henna is a plant extract used to create temporary tattoos. It has its origins in India and the Middle East. Henna is typically
applied to form intricate patterns on the skin for celebrations such as weddings.
These temporary tattoos usually last 5 to 10 days, although exactly how long they last depends on many factors including
the area of the body the henna is applied to, how long it is left on for, the henna itself and how much the area is washed.
Most of these tattoos have just been applied, so the henna is thick and wet and dark. I've mainly used shots of these
because the designs photograph more clearly. After about 30 minutes the henna will harden and will be nice and crusty.
This then rubs off leaving a nice orangey / light brown temporary tattoo on your skin, like on that fellow in the stripy t-shirt (above left).
