Henna - The Best Alternative to Airbrush Tattoo

With the acceptance of tattoo to modern society, more and more people are enticed by the idea of getting a tattoo. The only thing that is keeping them is the fact that it is permanent and at the same time painful. Temporary tattoo addresses that problem. Temporary tattoo can be done either by airbrush application of temporary tattoo inks or by the use of Henna.

Henna is by far the best option since it is natural. Although, there is always the risk for allergy but it is considerably less compared to tattoo inks with ingredients that are probably synthetic. Being aware of the complications that henna may bring is always a good thing to consider. Natural henna does not come in dark colors. The dark henna which is black or sometimes indigo is made by combining natural henna with a chemical. Even with natural henna, there is particular danger to those individuals who are suffering from a genetic condition labeled G6PD deficiency. In large doses, these dyes can be fatal to these certain individuals. It is therefore better to apply the henna first on a small area of the body as a skin test.

I am sure you have come across tattoos using Henna. Henna has been used since ancient times. The designs normally associated with henna are of Asian and Indian influence. Another thing about henna designs are the attention to details. Although there are traditional henna designs that are popular, there is no shortage in design experimentation. There is also no problem when it comes to tattoo removal because the skin itself will just shed the layers with the henna dye over time. There are tattoo studios however that tries to imitate henna tattoos but instead of natural henna, they use a red dye on typical tattoo machines. This will make the tattoo permanent.

Whether or not, you decide to have a permanent or temporary tattoo, the same things apply. You need to choose the tattoo artist carefully to make sure that he understands completely where and how you want the tattoo to be placed. The design will make or break your tattoo and so does the execution.
