How to properly care for henna tattoos

Henna tattoos are ideal for anyone who hesitates to get a permanent tattoo due to fear of regret or fear of needles or pain. As we said a moment ago, these tattoos do not last more than three weeks, although there are many factors that affect their duration, especially the care we give them. For this, it is necessary to take into account some points.

After the tattoo is done, it is important to cover the area so that the paste does not run off, ideally with a plastic bag so that the skin starts to sweat and the ink can seep into the pores. It is recommended not to wet the area and avoid movement, if possible, remain motionless. In a day or two, we'll be able to reveal the design. The color of a tattoo can be different: from black, brown, brown, red, to white and orange. This will depend on where the design is done, as well as the pigmentation of each skin type. It is worth noting that there are certain areas where the paste tends to penetrate faster, this is the palm, the sole of the foot and the ankle, then in different parts of the body it can change. In this case, it is suggested to start by creating a small drawing so that we can calculate how long we need to leave the covered area to achieve the desired color.

Finally, we want to tell you that at home you can make these tattoos yourself by making henna paste. To prepare it, you need to buy henna powder and pass it through a filter. After that, put a few tablespoons in the container, add a little sugar, lemon juice, hot and strong coffee and a little eucalyptus oil. We're going to mix all these ingredients well, cover the container with plastic wrap and let the mixture sit for a day or two. Then it will be the paste with which we will make our designs. Finally, remember that there are predefined templates with which we can create the most incredible designs.
