Jagua is the most recent temporary tattoo service
offered by A Rainbow Studio.
Although it leaves a blue-grey or blackish stain
on the skin, Jagua is NOT black henna.
Henna is never black. It is always brown.
There is nothing that changes the color of
henna. If someone tells you they have black
henna, they are putting something besides
henna on your skin.
It is important to understand this because
sometimes people use black (or color) hair die
and call it henna. Hair die has chemicals in it that
can be dangerous for some people.
I'm sorry about the rant on so called black henna
but I feel everyone needs to be aware that not all
products on the market are safe.
So always ask questions especially if you are
putting any material on kids.
Now, back to Jagua.
The product comes from the eatable fruit of the
Genia Americana plant found in the rain forests
through out the world. Jagua stains the skin
bluish grey or bluish black for about 1-2 weeks.
Everyone's skin is different so it is difficult to say
how dark the stain will get or how long it will last.
The best results are when the material is placed
close to the hands or feet where the skin is the
thickest. However, really good stains can be
obtained in other locations such as the lower
back, shoulder, arm etc.
One of the best ways to get the darkest and
longest lasting stain from Jagua is to leave the
material on your skin as long as possible.
We suggest at least 2 hrs but 4-6 hrs is better.
Another way to get the most out of Jagua is to
avoid scrubbing the area with a wash cloth.
Finally, avoid chlorine in the pool or jacuzzi as
much as passable and the stain will last longer.
Now that I have explained some facts about
Jagua, let me tell you how we will apply the
material to the skin.
First, the area is cleaned with alcohol.
Then the design is drawn on the skin with Jagua.
The area must stay exposed, without contact with
clothes or water for as long as possible and
nothing touching the tattoo, (like hair, shoe
strap,purse etc.) until the material is removed at
least 2 hrs after it is applied.
Jagua looks like jelly when it is first put on the
skin. It is extremely easy to smear and it will stain
everything it comes in contact with including
clothes and furniture so be careful. After about 1
hr, the tattoo will dry to the touch, then you won't
have to be so careful with it. Even though the
Jagua is dry to the touch, it must be completely
removed before going to sleep. If it isn't taken
off, there is a good chance it will smear on the
sheets and stain other parts of the body. There is
no way to correct this if it happens. You can only
wait until the skin wears off. So be careful.
There are two ways to remove Jagua. You can
simply let the material fall off on it's own. Or, if it
is really stuck, gently rub water on the area and
loosen the Jagua. If you use water from the sink,
shower or jump in the ocean, make sure the
material is completely off the skin. If any of it
pools any were on the skin, it will stain.
When the Jagua is removed,the tattoo will
disappear completely. In about 10 to 20 hrs the
stain will be dark. Usually 48 hrs after it is
applied, the stain will be as dark as it will get and
it should last a week or two.
Jagua stains both dark and light skin equally as
well. The difference is the contrast.
I am including some samples of Jagua so you
can get some idea of what it looks like when it is
applied to the skin.
We have a lot of designs to choose from at our
shop in Waikiki. Jagua is drawn directly on the
skin without a stencil. Our artists are able to do
custom designs but not copyright art such as
Playboy bunny, Superman logo, Mickey Mouse
etc.
I hope you enjoy the samples and please contact
us if you have any questions or comments.
