How To Make The Henna Tatto Long Lasting

We all know how painful and costly can be the regular permanent tattooing. Perhaps, though henna tattoos are just temporary, we can at least try to make it last a little longer. Generally they may last for around two to three weeks. Keep the tattoo overnight after applying to your skin. Then rub some sugar syrup and lemon gently over it. This will enhance its colour and also prevent it from fading soon.

Anyways, most Indian women believe that the brighter the colour of the tattoo comes up, the more loving their husband will be. However, the nature of the colour will depend your skin colour and type, body part and how often you wash yourself.
