Organic tattoos also known as henna tattoos are made out of a substance from the henna plant. It is a very stylish and fascinating style of body art. If you use this paste, you can have the design you want drawn onto your hands or feet and these tattoos often last two to three weeks. These tattoos take an orange brown color once completely dried and scraped. It may seem difficult to design organic tattoos using the henna paste. However, in reality once a few aspects are looked into, its not so bad after all.
First you must mix the henna mixture which is readily available at your nearest store, with some warm water, and make sure you keep it moist to prevent it from drying up and cracking. Then choose the design you want be it a simple Arabic design or a elaborate bridal one spread all over your arms, hands and legs. You must make sure to leave the organic tattoos on your skin as long as possible, because the longer you keep it, the darker the color turns and the longer it stays on you. Be sure that you design your own tattoo so that you will be happy with it for a long time.
Be careful while doing any activities that require using the parts where the tattoo has been drawn on. Cover it with petroleum jelly or baby oil in order to protect it from fading away when exposed to water.
If you also would like the color of your tattoo to last long, do not apply lotion or body cream to the tattooed area. You are reducing the life span of your tattoo if you expose it to skin care products. Organic tattoos made from henna are a lot safer and reliable as they are free from any harsh chemicals that may possibly cause damage to your skin.
