Henna
The fresh leaves of the Lawsonia inermis plant are ground into a fine powder and then made into a paste to create henna. The hennotannic acid in the lawsonia provides the dye, which does not penetrate, but only stains the dead cells in the outermost layers of skin. After the henna paste is applied, it should be left on for up to eight hours before the excess paste is gently wiped away. The longer the henna is left on, the darker the tattoo will be and the longer it will last. -
