Recipes cooking set. You can, for example, dilute 20 grams of henna powder in 50 milliliters of lemon juice. Next, this mixture is wrapped in a towel right in the container and sent to a warm place for 12 hours. For the result to last longer, you need to add a teaspoon of sugar and some essential oil to this composition. Suitable eucalyptus, clove, orange or tea tree. To make the color darker, you can add ground coffee or basma.
The second recipe offers 500 milliliters of boiling water to dissolve 40 grams of henna, 2 teaspoons of black tea and ground coffee. All this must be boiled for an hour and then strain and cool.
The resulting dye can be used to draw patterns with a brush or use a stencil. Before the procedure, the skin must be prepared: to epilate, degrease the area and use a scrub. You can first apply the pattern on the skin with a cosmetic pencil. In addition to brush, henna can be applied with a syringe or toothpick. On the skin, the composition should remain from 3 to 8 hours. After that, the paste is scraped off with the blunt side of the knife. Fix the result will help hairspray, which need to sprinkle the colored area. In a couple of days the drawing will become even brighter - this is the property of henna.

The fresh pattern applied to the skin should be punctured over the entire area with a sterile needle of not a small depth. This is important in order to avoid infection and to make the procedure safe. The risk of allergies is also minimal due to the very small depth of punctures.
After the procedure, there may be discomfort in the form of an itch, but they will quickly pass. For this technique is better to choose a mini tattoo, so as not to risk it.
The second method of applying a tattoo pen looks a little different. On the tracing paper, the selected picture is neatly drawn and colored. The place of drawing is processed by alcohol. After that, a piece of fabric prepared in advance is wetted in hot water and placed on top of tracing paper with a pattern on the back side. All this is pressed to the skin face down and held for 5 minutes. If the pattern is not bright enough, it can be duplicated with a pen right on the skin. On top of all this is fixed hair spray.

The fabric is moistened in warm water and applied over tracing paper, tightly pressing the entire structure. The resulting imprint on the skin is encircled with a cosmetic pencil and dried with talc, applied with a brush for cosmetics. From above on drawing spray spey for wounds.
