Body Art PE: Henna and Temporary Tattoos

Traditional Art > Body Art > Cosmetic Application > Henna & Temporary Tattoos
Artwork created with products that stain the skin and last for several days.

What is Henna?
Henna or "Mehndi" is a gorgeous and intricate Middle Eastern art form focusing on the natural dye of the Henna (Lawsonia inermis) plant. Many cultures, countries, and religions have found symbolism and meaning in the signature orange dye.

What other techniques are there for creating temporary body art?
One can paint on the skin directly or create ink transfers with special, long-lasting body inks. Brands like Temptu and Reel Creations are used in the film industry because of their super realistic appearance.
