Henna, depending on your skin and if it's on the right spot, can last the longest of the three types of body art offered. Natural brown henna starts as a bright orange stain and darkens over the next day or two, so it will be most intense a few days after it's applied. Henna Lace is an FDA-compliant temporary tattoo is applied like henna and drawn on by hand, but doesn't stain the skin. Instead, it remains on the surface of your skin for up to a week. It's waterproof, vibrant, and fun! And we've got it in six colors - hot pink, green, white, black, copper, and silver.

Care & Removal
Henna: To maximize the longevity of your henna tattoo, you'll want it placed on thicker skin, like the palms of your hands or soles of your feet. On one person, a henna tattoo on an ankle can last three weeks while the same person's henna tattoo on a bicep could fade in one week. Once you've got the henna tattoo, moisturizing, especially with shea or cocoa butter, will actually help maintain it. Exfoliation is the enemy of henna. There's no real way to remove henna; it just needs to fade. You can speed up the process, though, by exfoliating regularly.
Henna Lace: Henna lace can last anywhere from a day to a week, depending on several factors, including the part of the body, the model's skin type, other skin products used, and how much they're rubbed. To maintain henna lace for the maximum length of time, your best bet is to have it done on a body part that doesn't move a lot. One on the back of a hand will fade a lot faster than one on a bicep. Dry skin will maintain them longer than oily skin. And lotions decrease the retention time. If you want to keep it on, do your best to avoid moisturizers and oils on the area, and when you wash and dry, don't scrub or rub the area, just blot. The opposite is true if you want to remove henna lace, of course. Baby oil will assist in removal, as will lotions or rubbing alcohol, especially alcohol with a higher concentration than 70%.
