I just tried some New Skin for the first time on my forearm and
couldn't stand the feel of it. Maybe you're not supposed to put it
on hairy body parts? Do you put it on as soon as you've finished
applying the henna, or do you have to let the henna dry a bit, in
which case what do you do about customers who want a fast tatoo and
get on their way? And, how do you get it off?

I don't seem to be getting dark enough color on shoulders, upper arms
etc. (even with the tea tree oil) to just let the henna dry and fall
off. So what does everyone do at fairs and outdoor events where you
can't expect people to wait around or wrap themselves up in plastic?
I haven't found any cosmetic grade liquid latex, and the latex I use
for mixing paints (powdered pigments) is supposed to be toxic.

Would really appreciate some advice on this. And btw, do you all
keep your henna in the fridge overnight and take it out to use every
day? If the terped up henna is good about 2-7 days after mixing,
does that mean refrigerated or at room temp.?
