Getting a tattoo is a challenge to yourself and others. Watching fashion trends, many women would like to try something that would definitely not leave a loved one indifferent, and would be nice to themselves. So, just for brave ladies who want to decorate their body with a symbolic image, but not forever, but for a temporary change or for a test, a win-win option is a henna tattoo.

As in the case of a standard tattoo, the selected area of ​​​​the body is treated, but for the brightness of the henna pattern, the choice of skin treatment falls on eucalyptus oil. The tattoo master calculates the proportion for a mixture of warm water, henna directly and lemon juice, depending on the intended size of the tattoo. The mushy mixture is infused a little and the process itself begins.

In some cases, a sketch of a drawing (for an accurate hit) is first applied to a transparent film, and then a contour is made with a syringe according to the attached image. If there is hair on the selected area, then hair removal is done .

In order for the henna to be absorbed, you need to wait at least an hour. Then the procedure is repeated to achieve greater clarity.

Henna tattoo at home

You can do the procedure at home. 2 tbsp. tablespoons of henna are mixed with a quarter cup of lemon juice. The gruel is wrapped in a bag and allowed to brew for half a day in warmth. After this time, a teaspoon of sugar and aromatic oil are added to the composition, diluted to a gruel with lemon juice and left for another half a day.

A drawing is applied to the skin through a stencil, you can also make a sketch with a felt-tip pen. Since the drying time of the applied image is 8 hours, care must be taken to protect the image from possible erasure, especially at night. In this case, hairspray helps, which is then carefully removed without the use of water.

The result is a red-brown image on your skin that will delight your eyes for longer, the better you take care of it. Namely: before taking water procedures, lubricate it with vegetable oil.
