METALLIC JEWELLARY TATTOOS
They are just a variation of Decal style temporary tattoos. They are printed using a foil stamping technique, in these types of tattoos ink is not used. The tattoos are protected by a transparent protective film. The design that is printed is printed as a mirror image so that an inverted design is not printed.

AIRBRUSH TATTOOS
One of the most famous types of temporary tattoos is the Airbrush Tattoo style. In this type of tattoo, a stencil is usually placed on the skin and then ink is sprayed over it. The removal process of these tattoos isquite easy, all you need to do is apply baby oil or rubbing alcohol and scrub it. But they can’t be too descriptive because it gets harder for the artist to cut out the outline of the tattoo and in some cases, it doesn’t even come out well. So, if you want to get big, bold, less descriptive tattoos (like maybe numbers or letters), we suggest you go with airbrush tattoos. They usually stay onfor a lesser period of time than Decal tattoos but it also depends on whether you’re getting a colored tattoo or the traditional black one sinceblack ink seems to last longer on the skin.

HENNA TATTOOS
Henna is a plant-based dye which is used in various ways. It has been used as a hair dye, skin dye, dye for clothes and in a lot of other areas since a very long time.When applied on the skin, it leaves a stain. It is advised to keep it on for at least three to four hours so that it leaves a darker stain on the skin.Initially it starts off as light orange color, the longer it stays, the darker brown color appears. After the stain reachesits peak, it then usually starts fading within 2-3 weeks, and earlier if they are scrubbed frequently. People in India mostly get it done around festival times or when someone is going to get married. Apart from that a lot of people are seen with mandala art on their skin done by henna art specialists. Just like ink tattoos, henna can be applied anywhere on the body. According to the Indian culture, hands and feet are the most spiritual places to get henna.
