does anyone get irritated as me,I HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE SAY "TEMPORARY HENNA TATTOO".,,i had to write articles about this ancient exotic body art. its used in 60 countries for thousands of years..from the lacy or geometric patterns to the large beautiful floral designs...henna has always been part of traditional body art. henna is not anywhere near a tatoo,its not ink and it isnt permemant.....getting little squiggles on the hand is nothing. why people put henna in the same sentence as a tattoo..i dunno why..u people can explain that? explain it to me...i really wanna know why this ancient body art is associated with a tattoo? but if u speak to people of those cultures...including myself..its very irritating that people associate a traditional body art with a "tatoo"....tattooes are permenant and they use ink. its not a fashion accessory either, the way some people use it..its like theyre talking about the latest fashion accessory...nooo. one person asked "what is henna" contact me and i promise to give u a full detailed explanation. Lady H....that is inaccurate!! its temporary in that it lasts a couple of weeks....but some people get poisined from the ink of tattooes..and again, tattooes are permenant...in 20 years..do u want that butterfly or whatever animal it is on ur neck or wherever? Im telling u....henna is not a tatoo! it only became to be considered one when it made its way from the east to the west. henna is not an ink..its a natural paste
