Top Henna Tattoo related questions

Henna is a flowering plant. Once its leaves are harvested, dried, and mashed into a powder mixed with water, tea, and essential oils, it can be used as a paste to dye hair, eyebrows, fingernails, and skin. Back in Ancient Egypt, Egyptians used henna to paint the nails of mummies before their burial. Now, different cultures use and draw henna tattoos in their unique way. 

Henna tattoos usually last on the skin for a week to a few months before they start fading. It all depends on their location, how thick the skin is, and how frequent you wash it. To make your henna tattoo last longer, leave the paste on overnight. You can also use the Indian method of keeping it moist using lemon and sugar.

Like most temporary tattoos, getting a henna tattoo is not at all painful. It doesn't need needles or pricking, which means that you also won't bleed during the application process. Henna tattoo is applied to the surface of the skin using a plastic cone or a piping bag. 

Organic henna is generally safe. But if you have allergies and skin reactions to hair dye products, sunscreen, or tanning products, you should avoid getting one to be safe. Also, watch out for black henna, which contains a chemical that is extremely harmful to the skin. It can cause redness, irritation, swelling, and permanent skin allergy.

Yes! Once the henna tattoo starts fading, you can remove it quickly using many different methods. You try one of the following options:

  • soaking it in saltwater
  • using an exfoliating scrub, like coconut oil and raw sugar
  • coating it in an olive oil and salt mixture
  • rubbing it with whitening toothpaste or hair conditioner
  • swimming in a chlorinated pool for forty minutes

Safety-wise, both henna and a permanent tattoo have their advantages and disadvantages. If you prefer getting painless, temporary tattoos, henna is the better option for you. If you have high pain tolerance, and if a particular design means so much to you that you want it on your body for the rest of your life, then a permanent tattoo is your best bet.

It all depends on the complexity of the design. Simplistic designs usually take henna tattoo artists around 30 minutes to complete. Henna tattoos that require extreme details and intricacy, like bridal henna tattoos, can take 6 hours to be finished. If you're conscious of time and want a specific time frame, feel free to ask your tattoo artists so you can set your expectations as well.

The most important thing to do before a henna tattoo session is to know if you have skin allergies, rashes, itching, or any other skin irritation. Colour develops best on bare skin, so you may want to avoid applying creams, gels, lotions, or oil-based skin products before a henna tattoo session. Since waxing, bleaching, or a Moroccan bath session opens the pores, it's also best to not get them before your session to avoid any adverse skin reactions.

What do henna tattoo services include?

Henna tattoo services allow you to choose or come up with your own intricate design and have it applied anywhere you like. Whether you're thinking of getting one for fun and aesthetic purposes or rituals and symbolisms, our temporary tattoo artists can take care of everything! Here are a couple of services you can get from a trusted henna tattoo artist near you:

Henna body art

Book a henna tattoo artist for a private or small group appointment and get yourself that henna tattoo you've always wanted! Get creative and customise your henna tattoo design, or choose among the existing ones. You can get tattoos on any part of your body like hands, feet, back, legs, or shoulders. Whether you're experimenting with body art or celebrating a life milestone, your artist is up for the job!

Henna tattoo parties

Are you planning a party or a special event? Spice things up by booking a henna tattoo near you, and have your guests inked–at least temporarily! Traditionally, henna tattoos have always been a part of social and holiday celebrations because they are symbols of luck, joy, and beauty. You can choose to have a full range of your artist's unique designs or have something beautiful and simple. Tell your artist about the unique theme, features, and needs of your event, and they can customise their selections to fit with your party!

Bridal henna tattoo

A bridal henna tattoo is a beautiful tradition in Indian weddings. It's one way to wish the bride luck, good health, and prosperity as she starts her journey onto marriage. Each intricate swirl, even the body parts where you decide to have your henna tattoos, all have significant meanings. Collaborate with your artist about the design and the symbolism you want to convey on your wedding. You can rest assured that they can provide you with your bridal henna tattoo with flawless execution!

Henna eyebrow tinting

Eyebrows are an essential facial feature. Aside from protecting our eye sockets from sweat, water, and other debris, they also accentuate our eyes and play a vital role in facial expressions and communication. If you're not blessed with full, shaped eyebrows, and don't have the time to fill them in with makeup every day, then henna eyebrow tinting is perfect for you! You can make sure that your artist uses organic henna to keep your skin and eyes safe and protected. After the tinting, you can even get someone to thread your eyebrows to achieve the perfect look!
