Over the past several years henna tattoos have become all the rage through out the Unites States. A henna tattoo is a temporary tattoo that usually washes away in a matter of days, a few weeks at the most. It is not actually done with needles in the skin, but is basically just an ink drawing put onto the body. The reason these henna tattoos are so popular is obvious. Because a person can get one or more for a laugh and they don’t have to live with it for the rest of their lives.
The one very good thing about henna tattoos, in my opinion, is that it gives everyone the opportunity to see what it feels like to have a tattoo on them for a few days. To see how they like it and to see how others react to it. It’s a good way of testing the waters without yet jumping in without a life jacket. Some will say it’s the cowards way of getting a tattoo and there may be some truth to that. But I think if it helps people decide if they really want to get a real one or not, then it has to be a good thing.

The thing about henna tattoos is that it takes only a normal artist to do. Someone trained in the whole needles thing is not necessary because it is not a real tattoo but merely a temporary one. That does not mean that it doesn’t take talent to do, just that is has to be a whole lot easier to find generally skilled artists then it is to find the well skilled and experienced tattoo artists.
The word henna means a tint or a dye. And I guess that is how these henna tattoos got their name. Though there is nothing in that meaning that talks about it being only temporary. And of course they are all just temporary. Now, this particular henna tattoo is one that did not take that much skill to put on. It looks sort of like some half decent artist followed a pattern to do it and did not even follow the pattern all that well. The lines and edges are simply not nearly as sharp as they should be. Just look at it and you will see what I mean. As far as henna tattoos goes I would not consider this one a very good example.
