Temporary tattoos can be found in almost any drugstore, usually in the cosmetic section. They last 1 to 3 days. There are kits that come with black and white “flash”, and you fill in the designs with special tattoo paint. These can last for several days to a week. Mehndi / Henna kits are also a temporary form of tattoo. This requires a steady hand and careful application of a paste that must be left on for several hours for good results.

Banned Henna Dye Causes Injuries
Experts Urge Caution When Getting Tattoos

Henna tattooing is traditionally an Indian body decoration that started about 5,000 years ago. It’s supposed to be all natural, but a banned form of the popular non permanent skin dye is still being used.

NewsCenter 5′s Shiba Russell reported Friday that Kelly Supko got her first permanent tattoo four months ago, so when the Supko family went on a Florida vacation two weeks ago, her three daughters decided they wanted body art in the form of a nonpermanent henna tattoo.

After the henna faded, red, itchy blisters in the shape of the tattoo design were left behind. Supko said that she believes the henna used on her children was what is known as black henna.

Henna is the Persian name for this sweet smelling shrub also called Lawsonia Inermis. Other names it is known by are Al-Khanna, Al-Henna, Jamaica Mignotte and Egyptian Privet.

It thrives in hot, sub-tropical countries like India, Pakistan, coasts of Africa and the Middle East. The plant grows to about ten feet and the leaves are harvested as soon as the flowers appear.

The younger leaves from the top shoots contain the strongest dye and these are the ones made into the highest grade henna. Leaves are dried before being powdered, the drier the leaves, the finer the powder will be and so the dye will be stronger.

The rest of the shrub is shredded and dried to be used for hair dyes, shampoos and conditioners. The flowers are used to make perfume.
