the Price of Henna Tattoos

I received a henna tattoo located on my lower back. It was medium sized and consisted of five stars shooting across my back.

The quality was decently good for going to a place that has generic henna tattoos. First you pick out what type of henna tattoo you want. They have a large book that has all the tattoos in there. Once you pick what you want, the person traces it with a special pen onto a certain paper. They then cleaned my back and put some sort of lotion on in order to transfer the drawing onto my back. They then took out their henna ink and started putting it on the tracing that was now on my back of the stars. Once they were done, I had to not touch the henna for almost 2 hours in order for it to dry all the way. Once it was dry, the henna paste started to fall off revealing my henna tattoo that was underneath. I had to pull off some of the pieces of henna paste because they became stuck on my back. The tattoo lasted for about 2 weeks, although it started to fade at the end.

Make sure to get the henna in a place where you can cover it if needed for work. They are extremely hard to wash off once you first get it because the ink is supposed to stay in your skin for about 2 weeks. They do look great though! It is a good summer time accessory.
