Jagua is a fruit from the Latin American Rainforest, it has been used for hundreds (if not thousands) of years by the Rainforest Tribes to decorate their skin with really amazing black body art. You have probably already seen this body art on many TV documentaries, like The Tribe (BBC), its possible that for some years people have actually assumed that the body art was permanent tattoos because they actually look so similar.

We are proud to be at the forefront of the new jagua body art industry! You can find out more about Jagua from our sister site JaguaTattoos.com Los bastardos the movie

Stay Away From Products That:

  1. Claim to be ‘Black Henna’
  2. Have henna powder + coal tar dyes listed as part of their ingredients.
  3. Have henna powder + metallic salts listed as part of their ingredients.
  4. Have any of the names of PPD, as described above, in their ingredient listing.
  5. Claim to be ‘Black Henna’ and have no ingredients listed
  6. Advise you to possibly seek medical attention, steroid creme etc… in the ‘rare’ case of an allergic reaction.
  7. Contain a greyish – purple coloured powder that you need to mix with water.
  8. Advise you to mix with plastic/wooden utensils, avoiding contact with metals.

Stay Away From Any Service Offered Where:

  1. The artist claims to be applying ‘Black Henna’
  2. The artist advises against working on children.
  3. The artist advises you that in very ‘rare’ circumstances some people ‘may’ be allergic to the product… and ‘may’ need steroid crème from the doctor/pharmacist
  4. You can see the colour on the skin underneath the paste is turning black before your eyes
  5. You can see the artist mixing greyish-purple powder with water and then putting it into an application cone or bottle
  6. Be extra cautious when the artist is a street vendor in a tourist resort – most skin reactions take place 10-14 days after initial application. So usually the uninformed tourist is already on their way home before the itching starts, hence the irresponsible vendor never has any come back and continues to injure & scar countless more tourists, making money at their physical expense.
  7. Don’t assume either, that just because an artist is working from a reputable department store, hair salon or beauty salon that their products are safe. A lot of stores operate concessions, and a lot of irresponsible artists have been known to use PPD in these stores. Always check the product out that they are using. Any reputable Temporary Body Artist will show you their product ingredient listing, and will also confirm that……. There Is No Such Thing As Black Henna!

If all this information hasn’t put you off and you are still considering using a product that contains PPD, then please read this New Scientist Breaking News report about the use of prohibited PPD in body art products. Stay away from PPD, it can seriously damage your health.
