Organic tattoos also called henna tattoos are made out of a substance from the henna plant. It is a very trendy and fascinating style of body art. With the use of 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. Designing organic tattoos with the henna paste might look like a tedious task. It’s not really that hard once a few aspects are looked into.

First you must blend the henna mixture which is readily available at your nearest store, with some warm water, and be 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 be 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.

You have to be careful when doing any activities that would make use of the body part where the tattoo has been drawn. Cover it with petroleum jelly or baby oil so that you can protect it from fading away when exposed to water.

If you also need 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. It is safe to use organic tattoos made from henna because it is free from any harsh chemicals that are damaging to the skin.
