Expression. Fun. Painless, temporary tattoos. Unlike permanent tattoos, a lifetime commitment to your mehndi design is not required as the designs fade over time. Generally in 1 to 4 weeks, but it will depend on where your design is on the body and how long the paste was left to set. The less exposed to soap, water and rubbing, the longer your design will last. Many celebrities have been seen wearing mehndi designs and general awareness of the art form has increased due to articles in national magazines, publications and television broadcasts.

The appeal? Painless temporary tattoos. Cutting edge. Cool. Sexy. Painless. Fun. No needles, just a paste. What was in this month might be out the next, so with Mehndi a lifetime commitment (like real tattoos) is not necessary as the designs fade within a 1-4 weeks depending on where the designs are placed and how long you leave the henna paste on.
