At the end of this month, my city is going to have a "Spring Fair" and they have a booth for Henna Tattoos && I was wondering what is it? Does it affect your skin? How do you take care of it? How long does it last?? && also I really want one for Prom & the fair is a week from Prom and I want to have it on my hand, would it last??

No it doesn't affect your skin as it's plants , it comes off about a week or something

No, it doesn't affect the skin. it's not like an actual tattoo :p it just stains your skin, basically. they usually last 1-2 weeks. sometimes longer if you go to a really good henna artist.

It can cause allergic reactions in some people, and in the past people have put dangerous additives in it. True henna is a green paste that leaves a brownish-red stain. Beware anything that says "black henna" or similar, as it contains added dyes that can cause severe chemical burns.
It shouldn't affect you if it is proper henna (so long as you aren't allergic). The longer you allow the paste to sit and dry, the longer it will last. Also avoiding harsh soaps or lotions will prolong the tattoo's life.

I had hanna done once and it was amazing I doesn't affect your skin as it is made out of plants. Mine lasted about a week and a half.

It's basically herbs that stain your skin. No, it doesn't affect your skin but you should probably make sure you're not allergic to it beforehand (you can get it at any Indian grocery store). It lasts for about 2 weeks, depending on how much you wash it, and pretty much how much your hands go through. I don't think it'll be as vibrant so much as faded by the time it's your Prom. Have fun :)

The people who are saying it doesn't effect your skin are wrong. It depends on the color. Like Emily W. said the black henna can eat away your skin. And of course allergic reactions are always a possibility.

Henna was actually used for dying hair originally, then we started using it on our hands and feet. And forgive my earlier comment about it not affecting your skin; Inky and Yasmine are right!
