Henna Tatoo at Alona Beach
In the Philippines, a beach vacation is not complete without getting a henna tattoo. It's part of your outfit as much as your swimsuit is. It's a form of self-expression.
First, you choose the motif from several pages of sample designs. The price depends on how complicated the design is. The cheapest is at 100 pesos |
Then you choose where to place it.
On the arm |
On the chest |
On the hand |
Where to have it:
There are a lot of places along Alona Beach where you can get a henna tattoo. But we got ours at Baywatch Divers.
Baywatch Divers is at no. 12. Check out http://jimspears.net/alona/map.htm for more details. Thanks to jimspears.net for the map |
How long does the henna tattoo last:
One week
Caution:
When my daughter was 8 years old, she got an allergic reaction from the henna tattoo. The part where the henna touched the skin became inflamed. So even after the black tint was gone, the motif remained and showed on the inflamed skin. I suggest you test the henna first on a small area of the skin to find out whether or not your child is allergic to it. Years later, my daughter outgrew her allergy and was able to have a henna tattoo on our Bohol trip.
