Advantages: good

Disadvantages: -

It was only after I read a dooyoo opinion on Henna tattoos that I decided to have a look if I could get a packet next time I was out and about. To my surprise the local supermarket sold them, and for a very cheap price of 28p a packet.

In a packet you get two long tattoos, and three small ones. There’s also a chewing gum and that’s got a tattoo inside. So, I do think you get your money worth considering the fact these days you can’t even buy a bar chocolate with 28p (obviously depends on which one you buy.)

They are quite simple to apply, you damp them with some water, press it on your skin and then peel off after a minute or so. Some of the designs look very good, and although you can tell they are fake, they are not that bad quality.
I was going out so I put two one the long one on my upper arm, it looked ok and it didn’t crumple of as some can do.

It was quite easy to remove, just wash with soap. Although, I did use them I do think they were more for young children than adults. The designs varied and some were really good, Chinese writing and even a dragon.

I have seen celebrity’s wear them but I sire they use the Henna powder and have them printed on, this is a good method of having your own dark red tattoos. Get some henna powder from an Asian store, mix it with water so it’s not thick or buy the cones which are much easier to use. And get someone to draw you a design, it’s best if someone else does it for you, can get mucky.
Leave it on for a while and then rinse off. The good thing is if it is done properly it won’t smudge. The end results are good and better than the tattoos.

However, it can be a bit difficult to take off so you’ll have to wait while it washes off, which can take a couple of weeks.

Overall the Henna tattoos are good but more for children than anything else.
