Jagua Tattoos

Jagua tattoos are temporary tattoos done with jagua ink, which stains the skin and lasts 1-2 weeks. Unlike henna, the stain is anywhere from light blue to a dark blue-black, perfect for realistic looking tattoos without the commitment.

I have experimented with using jagua ink for various designs, from fashionable ones to cultural ones. Although this is still a new medium for me, I am pleased and excited with the potential for this outlet of creativity on a three dimensional canvas!

Here are some designs that I have done.
