How much of this tattoo is held, you need to ask directly in the cabin, as the stamina depends on many factors, but do not rely on the words of salon employees, as many real tattoo masters deny the very existence of temporary tattoos.

The fact is that any pigment, got under the skin, can not just disappear without a trace. Some incompetent wizards believe that using the pigment for the permanent can achieve the effect of temporary tattoos, but this is not so. Over time, this tattoo really begins to disappear, but in its place will remain a rather unattractive blurry spot, which still has to be removed in the cabin. So be vigilant if you are offered to do a temporary tattoo for 3 months, then before you either a scammer or an unskilled craftsman, in both cases it is better to contact another salon.

How to be, if you do not plan to make a tattoo for life? In this case, the ancient Indian tradition of drawing henna-mendi can be an excellent solution. With the spread of this art around the world, the painting of henna gradually became known as "temporary tattoo". How much this pattern is held on the skin, entirely depends on its owner. There are many ways to "extend the life" of a tattoo, for example, regularly make masks with natural coconut oil, sesame or olive oil . The cause of the rapid disappearance of the tattoo can be dry skin, so take care of moisturizing even before drawing.

There are many places where you can make a temporary henna tattoo : some salons will provide such a service, as well as self-taught masters who sometimes cope with the task no worse than professionals. Drawings of henna have a lot of advantages over traditional tattoos. Firstly, they are absolutely safe, moreover, henna has a positive effect on the skin. Secondly, if a certain technique is not observed, this tattoo will look awful, and the henna pattern depends solely on the artistic abilities of the master performing the temporary tattoo. How much the picture keeps and, of course, the color of henna will, in particular, depend on how much the artist is familiar with the technique of preparing the necessary mass, but the drawing of henna will not bring such a catastrophic effect as an unsuccessful tattoo.

It should be noted that the common term "temporary henna tattoo" is a bit inaccurate. The fact is that the definition of a tattoo indicates the introduction of a coloring substance under the skin, which does not occur when drawing with henna. Thus, we can conclude that in nature there is no such thing as a temporary tattoo. How much the image of henna keeps depends on the way of life of the owner and care of the tattoo, so be extremely careful and do not fall for the tricks of scammers!
