Jagua: Your Go-To for Dark, Long-Lasting, Tattoo-Look Henna! 🖤🍃
Hey Henna Lovers! 💥 Ready to try something next-level? Jagua is your perfect pick if you want a dark, tattoo-style design that lasts longer and turns heads. Here’s all you need to know before you book! 👇
Why Jagua?
🖤 You want the darkest, longest-lasting stain — think ink, but without the needle!
⏳ You want a low-maintenance design — once it’s dry, you’re good to go!
💉 Curious about a tattoo but want to try a temporary version first? Jagua’s got you.
🎯 Perfect for bold designs on shoulders, back, thighs, or even covering scars!
Things to Know Before You Book! ⚠️
📅 Book 1-2 days before your event so your stain can fully mature.
⏳ Stain lasts 1.5 to 4 weeks, depending on your aftercare and placement. Far from hands/feet = lighter color.
🕒 Dry time is 40-60 minutes, and the gel can still transfer color until you wash it off (3-6 hours later or once it starts peeling).
🙅♀️ No smudges allowed — Jagua is potent and smears will show the next day, so plan no wild kids or pets needing your attention!
💸 There’s an up-charge compared to henna, so send us a pic or budget and we’ll create a design just for you.
🎗️ No sealant needed, but medical tape is recommended if you wanna sleep or protect it all day.
Ingredients You Can Trust 🌿
Organic Genipa Americana fruit juice (aka the magic!), Xanthan Gum, and Organic Lavender Oil. Nothing funky here — just pure fruit power.
Before Your Appointment 🧼
Remove hair from the design area for a smooth application 24 hrs before.
Clean skin well, no oils or lotions allowed!
Gently exfoliate to prep your canvas no less than 24hrs before to avoid any issues with skin that’s too sensitive.
Dress comfy and design appropriate because your design will be wet when you leave.
Aftercare Must-Knows 💧
Jagua’s a citrus fruit, so if you’re allergic to citrus, this might not be for you.
Gel dries in 40 mins to 1 hour depending on size — patience is key!
Keep that gel on for at least 4-6 hours for a deep dark stain.
Wash off with warm water and soap once the gel starts peeling.
DO NOT touch, smear, or sleep with your fresh design!
Beware — Jagua will stain anything it touches before washing off.
Heads up: Some people might react if exposed to heat in the first 48 hours — if that happens, hydrocortisone or natural remedies help ease the itch.

Jagua History & Cool Facts 🌎
Jagua comes from the Genipa Americana fruit, native to rainforests of South America, the Caribbean, and southern Mexico.
Indigenous peoples have used it for centuries — not just for body art but also to prevent mosquito bites and as medicine!
Jagua stain is a beautiful deep blue-black, much like a real tattoo but totally temporary and safe.
Our gel mixes Genipa juice with xanthan gum, citric acid, potassium sorbate, and lavender oil for perfect stain and smooth application.
