BellaOnline Forums Beauty and Self Body Art Has anyone tried Henna Tattoos?

Hi, I want to get a henna tattoo done. What are the ingredients of henna? And can it cause any skin allergies? Also, does it come in various shades or is it just blackish-green? Jessie

I never could settle on a Tattoo design so I just never got one. When i go into my corner store the Bengali women who work there always have henna on their palms I always thought it was so sexy. I never came upon anyone offering to do henna though so i also never got that.

I understood that about Henna that is why I liked the idea. Nothing permanent and not the pain of a real tattoo. I would like to try the kit and my daughter would LOVE it as well.

I totally agree with you, henna is not painful unlike putting the real tattoo it is painful.

I tried an at home kit and also had it done in South Beach a few years ago. I loved it and it's not permanent nor did it cause allergies for me and my skin is fairly sensitive to out of the ordinary products (things I don't normally use).

It's like having a tattoo but then it slowly fades. It's fun to try : )

You cannot make tattoos with henna but you can do body painting with it.

I have not tried it and want to know how is it

I feel,when you will made any tatto of mina its painless and its not parmanent after some time henna tattos disappeared.

Henna tattoos are temporary so you can try different styles as per your mood & season. The options are unlimited. You can mix the henna paste at home or get the readymade cones available. Various tattoo patters are available online.

A week ago i got two small henna tattoos on Khaosan rd. Bangkok and walked away not thinking twice about it. Now a week later i have had a bad reaction and both tattoos (though faded in colour and no longer black) have become itchy,swollen and blistered. I have now researched and found that there is only one safe henna and that is the red/brown NOT black. Info below.
