anybody ever gad a henna tattoo? Did you like it?

Answer 1

yes i did, i got a moon and a star on my foot to see if i liked the idea of having a real tattoo there, luckily i did like it because i had to get a real tattoo to cover the hideous scar that was left by it. i had an allergic reaction to the ink. you have to becareful, just use the natural henna die. more and more everyday people are putting in different kinds of things in there so they could last longer. see if they can just do a small test patch and then come back if everything clears up ok

Answer 2

I used to actually do them for myself and other people when I worked at an Indian trinket store. I love henna tattoos. I think the intricate designs look absolutely gorgeous on hands and feet. Depending on the quality of the henna (which good quality is hard to find because most you find in stores has been sitting on a shelf for too long) , and the proper care the tattoos can last 2-3 weeks. Most people end up hating them because the quality of the henna used was crap, and they smeared it before it was dry. When you get one done, take care NOT to smear it. Once it is smeared it's very difficult to undo. (Use baby oil if this happens though). Then, wait until the paste is partially dry and make a mixture of sugar and lemon juice. Dab it all over the paste. It may seem 'icky' or cold but believe me it's worth it. Keep applying it every few hours. What it does is make the paste darken and last longer. Also, it is best not to peel the paste off yourself. Let it flake off on it's own to make the color underneath last even longer.

My henna tattoo only lasted 2 weeks. I had mine done when I was in Mexico, but i've noticed that a lot of tattoo and body piercing shops are doing henna tattoos now.

Answer 4

I got one in Hawaii and thought it was pretty cool, just don't let it get smudged before it dries all the way... now i've seen you can get the hena which is the brown ink, and then there is another kind of ink that is black and it peels off and you can get a glittery type that also lasts like a week.... some places claim that the henna lasts 3 weeks but I would say only about 2 weeks, its just fun its not like its permenent.

Answer 5

I had a henna done before and I liked it. It did peel after it dried but the design was still there. The people who did mine also put on a citrus glaze to make it last a little longer. Mine's lasted for a little over a week.

Answer 6

i've never gad one but i had one when i was in cali on vacation. lol
they are fine but the real deal is sooo much better.
henna is more, in my opinion, a touristy fun thing to do at a park or beach.
i love my tats more than i ever even sort of liked my henna lol

Answer 7

I did get one (orange) it was the ugliest mistake I've made. It sort of smeared and last way to long. Now when my friend and I are together, if were about to do or buy something that could be foolish we alway's say "OH THATS A HENNA"!!

Answer 8

i like them but i heard a bad story about them in the women's magazine my mum buys. she was allergic to it or something (the henna) and it made her face balloon up and she looked all weird and stuff and she could of died. if your a person who is allergic to stuff alot then id advise u not to do it ....other than that, it should be pretty safe. i want a lovely henna tattoo but that story scared me

Answer 9

no i haven't but be careful cause i read somewhere that blue and black ink can cause an allergic reaction and gives a rash hope that helped ♥

ps the tattoos do look cool though
