It is these tattoos that most young people dream of, and as you know, demand creates supply, so today, on almost every corner, you can find an institution where you will be offered an inexpensive temporary tattoo. How long such a tattoo lasts, you need to ask directly in the salon, since durability depends on many factors, but do not rely on the words of the salon workers, as many real tattoo artists refute the very existence of a temporary tattoo.
The fact is that any pigment that gets under the skin cannot just disappear without a trace. Some incompetent masters believe that with the help of pigment for a permanent tattoo it is possible to achieve the effect of a temporary tattoo, but this is not so. Over time, such a tattoo will really begin to disappear, but in its place there will be a rather unattractive blurrya stain that still has to be removed in the cabin. Therefore, be vigilant if you are offered to get a temporary tattoo for 3 months, then you are either a scammer or an unqualified master, in both cases it is better to go to another salon.
What if you don't plan on getting a tattoo for the rest of your life? In this case, the ancient Indian tradition of henna drawing, mehndi, can be an excellent solution. With the spread of this art around the world, henna painting gradually received the name "temporary tattoo". How long such a pattern stays on the skin depends entirely on its owner. There are many ways to "extend the life" of a tattoo, such as regular masks with natural coconut, sesame or olive oil. The reason for 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 get a temporary henna tattoo: some salons provide such a service, as well as self-taught masters who sometimes cope with the task as well as professionals. Henna designs have many 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 followed, a real tattoo will look just awful, and henna drawing depends solely on the artistic abilities of the master performing the temporary tattoo. Howthe drawing is kept and, of course, the color of henna will, in particular, depend on how familiar the artist is with the technique of preparing the necessary mass, however, a henna drawing will not bring such a catastrophic effect as an unsuccessful tattoo.
It should be noted that the common term "temporary henna tattoo" is slightly inaccurate. The fact is that the definition of a tattoo indicates the introduction of a coloring matter under the skin, which does not happen when drawing with henna. Thus, we can conclude that in nature there is no such thing as a temporary tattoo. How long a henna drawing lasts depends on the lifestyle of the owner and the care of the tattoo, so be extremely careful and do not fall for the tricks of scammers!
