Henna and Jagua Tattoos in London - Natural Temporary Body Art
Bring beautiful, natural body ar to your event with Henna and Jagua tattoos in London from Kat's Krafts. These time-honoured temporary tattoo styles offer stunning, long-lasting results - perfect for birthday parties, corporate events, festivals, shopping centres, celebrations and cultural occasions.
Using 100% natural body art products and professional application techniques, I create intricate designs that last as the skin naturally exfoliates. Both henna and jagua are great options when you want more detailed, expressive body art that stays visible for days.
Henna Tattoos - Warm, Reddish-Brown Art
Henna is a natural plant-based dye made from the Lawsonia inermis leaf and has been used for body art for centuries. When applied as a paste, it stains the skin with a rich reddish-brown colour that deepens as it develops and lasts for up to 2 weeks.
During application, the henna paste is carefully drawn or piped onto the skin to create intricate, floral, geometric or custom designs. Once the paste has dried and flaked off naturally, the stain remains and gradually fades over time with regular bathing and exfoliation.
⚠️Safety note: only natural henna is used - never "black henna" containing PPD, which can cause serious skin reactions.

Jagua Tattoos - Deep Blue-Black Temporary Ink
Jagua body art ink comes from the juice of the Genipa americana fruit and creates a deep blue-black stain that resembles a real tattoo, without the permanent commitment.
When applied, the jagua gel needs a couple of hours to dry. Once the gel is removed, the stain may be subtle at first, then develops gradually over 12-48 hours, reaching its richest colour as it oxidises.
Jagua is ideal for clients who want a striking, bold look that stands out at festivals, weddings, parties and brand events.
