Temporary Tattoos @ Memory Lane

JuguART© Semi Permanent Tattoo

Picture
Memory Lane is now providing custom semi-permanent tattoos with the use of high quality distilled juice of the Genipa americana fruit.

Also known as "Jagua Tattoo", this is a temporary form of skin decoration resulting from the application of an extract of the fruit Genipa americana. This fruit has been used for body ornamentation and medicinal purposes in many areas of South America for centuries. It has only recently been introduced in North America and Europe as an addition to henna body art, also called mehendi, mehandi, or mehndi in India. (The term henna tattoo is often used as a generic term for temporary tattoos.)

The jagua tattoo method involves the surface application of a dye which then sets within a few hours, staining the upper layer of skin, or epidermis. The body sloughs off this layer of skin continuously and eventually, the tattoo fades and disappears. This differs from the Pacific Islands' methods of applying tattoos, the word itself derived from the Polynesian tatau, meaning "to write". The term is commonly associated with the permanent surgical insertion of pigment underneath the skin, as opposed to pigments applied to the skin's surface. Both mehndi (henna) and jagua tattoos stain the top skin layer. In the case of jagua the color develops and darkens over several days until blue-black.

While henna tattoos are associated with Indian, African, and Middle Eastern cultures, jagua body art was invented by circum-Caribbean tribes and indigenous peoples of the Amazon region.

Designs created with jagua appear blue/black in color on the skin and resemble a real tattoo (henna tattoos are reddish-brown in color). Depending on a variety of factors, the stain on the skin lasts one to two weeks, fading gradually as the skin exfoliates. Some henna artists use the jagua tattoo preparations as an additional temporary tattoo option, and some professional tattoo artists use it to give their customers the option of 'trying out' a tattoo before using permanent ink.

We can create a custom design from scratch using our unique JuguART© technique just for you. Average duration of our unique juice blend will last an average of up to 2 weeks and it'll look just like a real tattoo!

Pricing starts from $20.00 depending on the size and complexity of the design. Contact us to schedule an appointment today!
