it arrived and its really cool . it came with easy to follow illustrated instructions and a well put together booklet with history and basic techniques to get you started in a indiana jones style. It has a transfer making kit and numerous designs to copy. The transfer making ability helped alot. Jagua itself is very fluid to work with and did take a little getting use to i bought the 10ml kit and the first 5ml was used on practice attempts it was similar to use as henna. The jagua took about 45 minutes to dry after application. then i left it for another hour then peeled off. It left nothing behind i was concerned. The next day it had appeared lightly but by the evening it was a good colour. I have now had it for 4 days and it still looks good. I am very pleased with the results. I will post a picture once i find out how.

new product test – Jagua

After the weekend I was recommended using a new product called jagua so today i have found an internet site www.jaguatattoo.co.uk selling it and have ordered a starter kit which comes with a book about it and a transfer making kit to give it a try. I have looked on the net and it seems interesting. The site i found was very informative and warned against the use of black henna there gallery was also good with some great work. I’ll keep my blog updated on how it goes

cultural day review

lovehenna — Tue, 18 May 2010 09:05:31 +0000

it went really well and the weather stayed fine. i applied mainly henna all day with a few jagua designs. The event was good with quite a few other stalls offering goods and food from around the world. The food was especially nice, they even had chai on sale and if you new what a rural place i come from you also would of been shocked.

Cultural Day

hi,
im participating in the local cultural day spreading the word of other cultures to the unsuspecting public. Most of the locals in my area wouldn’t know there was a larger world out there. So i will be handing out jagua and henna flyers and giving general talks and hands on displays of henna and jagua tattooing. I will also being doing small group workshops with the local children who always seem to love it, especially if they can make a mess. So it will be a busy day for me, hope the weather stays fine.

Henna, PPD & New Jagua Tattoos

It’s coming up to festival, summer time again i have one message…
STAY AWAY FROM EVIL BLACK HENNA,
I love henna and just can’t stand Black henna it gives a beautiful artform a bad name and i have personally seen it’s harmfull effects. I really hate people who are aware of the dangers but still use it on there customers. I had a friend a few years back who came back from holiday with one it looked great for a while then it started itching, thankfully it left her no permanent damage.
Recently i have discovered Jagua it too is black in colour and lasted about 10 days it looked like a real tattoo which gave my partner a bit of a fright, with thankfully no health dangers associated to black henna(PPD).
I actively try to prevent the usage of black henna by blogging to spread awareness and wherever i see it being used confront the artist generally recieving abuse and contempt but i think its worth it if it stops an innocent person from being scarred.
Thanks for reading my blog and i’ll keep you updated in my world.

Hello world!

lovehenna — Mon, 10 May 2010 00:11:53 +0000

I have been a henna enthusiast for many years and would like to hear from other like minded people. My love of henna started whilst visiting India and seeing ladies painting amazing decorated bridal hands. Their beautiful look mesmerised me. I love the artform with it ever changing designs fom traditional to westernised styles.

I am also very passionate about my hate of the use of so called ‘black henna’ and strongly campaign against, it spreading awareness where ever possible.

I hope you like my blog and look forward to hearing from you.
