TATTOOING TREND// beauty

THE BODY ART TREND

Tattoos have become a big trend with some bloggers having some lovely simple ones.
The tattoos are like pieces of art.

Another type of tattooing is a Henna tattoo using a natural plant base to color the skin. It is especially popular in India, Africa and the Middle East countries. Indian brides will have gorgeous tattoos applied to their hands or feet. The intricate designs look like fine lace and look amazing. The henna is an old tradition that dates back thousands of years to Egyptian times.

Many people while on holidays will try or want something different. A tattoo is maybe something you have thought about having. You might come across a place that offers Henna tattoos or BLACK HENNA tattoos. Be aware not all HENNAS are alike.

HENNA - BLACK or BROWN?

SO if you are contemplating a tattoo , a temporary one is a choice using Henna.
Most important to be aware that not all hennas are safe. The natural henna is made from plants, no chemicals and is a brownish color once applied.

There is another BLACK henna which is not safe and uses PPD chemical paraphenylenediamine. at levels that are too high. IT is also used in hair colours but at a much lower levels.

The results from using a Black henna can be severe allergic reactions , where the skin swells and becomes extremely itchy and very painful. Some women and girls who have had these types of tattoos needed months of medical hospital treatment and some were left with scars. Not a pretty sight.

Flying high // travel

B Time to Fly Sumer holidays are around the corner and deciding where to go or what to pack can e daunting experience. So what to pack ?
