Henna tattoo's are created by a tannin dye which is natural and herbal, the dye transfer process is possible once the dried then pulverized leaf of the henna plant is made into a paste, then applied to the skin. When henna stains the skin it only stains those skin cells that are dead or dying. As the Skin exfoliates the henna tattoo fades away until it completely disappears. No needles are used to create the henna tattoo. So blood donation can still be done. - thanks for your comment!
Hello AndPeriwinkle, Yes I have heard this same point but I believe that pertains more or less to after the henna has been removed from the skin and for the 24 hours following that point in time. I believe if you were to use lemon juice you may speed up the celluose break down of the henna powder more than is desired. However I am not a biologist nor a chemist...so the best way to determine is to give it go! I have had no issues using pure water though. :) Regards, Brenda

I heard that water takes away the stain, so should I dip the paintbrush in lemon juice instead of water perhaps?
By the way lovely design, I will visit your website! :)
