One the questions still lingering in people's minds when it comes to temporary tattoos is what are jagua tattoos?

Jagua tattoos are temporary tattoos that look just like real tattoos. They’re completely water resistant and they last for about two weeks on the skin.

The application process is very similar to a henna tattoo and for this reason, most people call them henna tattoos but there are a couple of big differences between henna and jagua.

The first difference and the most noticeable one is obviously the color. Natural henna stains the skin brown with red undertones, while jagua stains the skin black with blue undertones, just like the color of traditional tattoo.

The other main difference is the consistency. The consistency of henna paste is like toothpaste. It’s a bit grainy but more stringy than toothpaste. Henna paste is great for creating traditional mehndi designs. Not only does it lend itself well for this type of designs, but its consistency is what gives henna tattoos that raised or elevated 3D appearance that looks so great in pictures.

The consistency of jagua gel is more like the consistency of hair gel. It’s smooth and silky. Jagua gel is great for creating designs that look like real tattoos. Its consistency is perfect adding very fine detail shading to your designs.

As far as the actual composition, henna and jagua are two completely different products. Henna paste is made with the crushed leaves of the henna plant, while jagua gel is made from the jagua fruit, which is an edible fruit that grows wild in the rain forests of Central and South America.

Both of these products are 100% natural and you can even mix them together to create some awesome shades.
