4.0 out of 5 stars not what i expected but great for what i got, July 1, 2006

This review is from: Henna Floral Tattoos (Dover Tattoos) (Paperback)

I was expecting an actual book of floral tattoo designs. It is actually a booklet with 4 rub-on transfer tattoos. The tattoos stayed on for at least 2 weeks which is amazing for a rub on. However the designs themselves are too intricate to copy using henna kit (the lines are very small) Not what I expected, but for what i payed and the quality, very pleased.

CAVEAT EMPTOR: BUYER BEWARE...

Yes I see NOW, that if only I had viewed the enlarged cover image of this item, IT says these are merely 4 tattoo DESIGNS/transfers, but the heading/listing of the item as "(Paperback)" made me think this was a small book which I was ordering.

It's not exactly a LIE, but .. it definitely is a little tricky.

I should have explored more carefully to see that the title is actually not a book title, but the description.

I guess that was my mistake, but I'm just saying, be aware that YOU ARE BUYING STICK ONS, NOT A BOOK.

In any case, the designs are pretty.. and I applaud the artist, Anna Pomaska, for getting her art "out there" and helping to spread the word about the beauty of Henna and Henna Design work...

=)

So.. thumbs up for Anna. The product is nice too.

But, boo for such meager marketing tactics. In the Editorial Review, they could state some additonal info, such as how to apply the stick-ons or how long they last, and expound on the fact that in truth, this is NOT a "(Paperback)", but rather some stickers between a cardboard folder...

I'm just saying.

In fact it does the product a dis-service to not fully explain CLEARLY what it is.

I ordered these on a whim because I have been looking into trying out henna paste but didn't want to deal with the messiness of it, I can't draw well, etc. These had a special going on Amazon for buy 3 and get one free so I said "why not"? I am a brown skinned person so I wasn't sure if they would show up well but I couldn't have been more wrong. The reddish/dark brown colors of the temporary tattoos shows up very well on my skin and the designs are intricately detailed, just like a real henna tattoo. You just cut the design out, remove the plastic film, put a few drops of water on the back of the card and press onto a clean, dry place on your skin and hold for about 30 seconds. There is an invisible piece that holds the design but it can barely be seen on the skin, especially after a day. I have used about 4 of them so far, and each one lasts approximately 3-4 days with no harsh scrubbing while in the shower. As a matter of fact, I avoid that part of my skin altogether. These are a great price for what they are. I am not disappointed. :)
