Less messy than henna (in my opinion), Jagua can be used with transfers or freehand in a similar way to henna application. It takes a good hour or two to dry properly after which time it can be rinsed off with water. At first there is hardly any design to be seen on the skin but this deepens over time and ends up looking like a 'proper' tattoo. I would recommend leaving it on the skin overnight though to get the full depth of colour - once it has dried it doesn't come off on the sheets. Once it has set, it can last up to two weeks. Jagua would be idea for trying out any real tattoo designs befor you have the permanent one done. There is also a Jagua paint available, for shades of grey, but I haven't yet tested this out.
Note: * Jagua is not henna and doesn't contain PPD *
