Temporary tattoo designs are now very popular. At one time there were only a few sources to get hold of your temporary tattoo designs such as the dispensing machines or local store if you were lucky, but these days they are very widely available. Should be able to find some without using henna

There are few types of temporary tattoo that you can do without henna:
1) Stick On tattoos – these are the water slide ones, where you wet your skin and then press the tattoo onto the skin and peel away the backing paper. Good coz they’re quick n easy. Bad coz they come off quick (a day or so depending on rubbing on clothes and showering etc…) Here you can get these types from most fashion accessories shops like Claires Accessories etc.. So I’m sure they’ll be all over drug stores in the US.
2) Hand painted tattoos – these are the ones where you use isopropyl aolcohol to apply a black outline to the skin (off a specially printed sheet of paper) and then use tattoo paints to fill in the colour. Good coz they look more realistic and the colours are nice. Bad coz they still come off quick, the same as stick on ones. The mmost popular hand painted temp tattoo range in the US in Temptu. Here in the UK its Charles Fox
3) Airbrushed tattoos – you can get kits here in the UK at Boots, about £50. So you’ll probably be able to get them in drugstores in the US. They come with stencils to spray colour over. Good coz they’re quick to do. Bad coz they look fake and come off just as quick.
4) Jagua Tattoos – you can get jagua products online mainly as its still relatively new. Jagua is like henna in that its natural and lasts 10-15 days. It differs in colour, its a tattoo black colour, looks like the real thing. Good because they look great and last ages. Bad because like henna jagua takes ages to dry and a day to develop.
Course when I say its Bad because (1) – (3) come off quick… it depends on your point of view – if you jut want some good ceverage for a party etc.. then they are perfect!
Also, if you want henna but can’t find it you can get it online all year round too.
