How to make a temporary house tattoo?

Consider how to make a temporary tattoo on your arm:

1. Skin preparation: the day before the procedure we do a peeling of the hands, so that the skin becomes smoother and better perceives the paint.
2. Before a session of my hands with soap and apply a few drops of eucalyptus oil.
3. We fill a special cone or syringe without needle with paste for mehendi. At the cone cut off the corner.
4. If necessary, we apply to the skin a drawing using a water-based felt pen or attach a stencil.
5. We begin to draw a fictitious drawing. We make sure that the line is the same in thickness. Surplus and inaccuracies immediately removed with a cotton swab.
6. Let the pattern dry for at least an hour.
7. After the paste has dried it can be removed from the skin by opening the picture. In 24 hours he will dial his final color. Your mehendi is ready!

Depending on the place of application, the shade of your skin and how long the paste remained on it, the pattern can acquire a color from dark brown to reddish-brown. The average life of the mehendi pattern is 3 weeks, but it all depends on how often it will be exposed to water, where it is applied and how well the pasta was cooked. Since the paint penetrates only to the upper layers of the epidermis, which are updated about every 3 weeks, just during this time the skin can update and the picture disappears. To prolong the life of your temporary tattoo, you can periodically lubricate it with any vegetable oil.
