Q. What colour does it go?

Q. Is it safe?

tested and certified.

Q Is this PPD? The so-called black henna
that is harmful?
A. No it is NOT PPD (paraphenylenediamine).
Q. What is Jagua and where does it come
from?
A. Jagua is a natural dye, which comes from a fruit in South America;
it has been used by indigenous tribes for many years for body adornment.
Q. How long does it last?
A. On average 10-15 days but as it's a natural product it may have
slight variations due to skin type and where it is on the body.
Q. Do I have to mix up the paste myself?
A. No it is all done for you; all you have to do is create your
tattoo.
Q. I applied the Jagua gel and washed
it off after 2 hours, as per instructions, and it has disappeared?
A. Jagua takes time to develop colour, don’t worry this is
normal. Leave it
for 24-48 hours and wait for the JAGUA MAGIC TO HAPPEN!
Q. How many tattoos will a 5ml tube do?
A. Approximately 10 to 15 small designs.
Q. Once I open the tube will the Jagua
go off and stop working?
A. Jagua tubes: for best results, once opened, use within one week.
Professional tubs and un-cut tubes: for best results ensure lid is replaced tightly
after use to prevent oxidation of the dye. We strongly recommend that you use your Jagua within 2-3 months of purchase (you can now freeze Jagua to help prolong the shelf life. please see Can i freeze Jagua below). Due to Jagua being a natural product we can not guarantee the longevity of the gel.
Q. Can I freeze Jagua?
A. Yes you can! We recommend that you:
*Freeze your Jagua on the day you recieve it.
*Only freeze it once, do not defrost and re-freeze.
*Once defrosted use within 1 month.
Q. Does it hurt?
A. No it's totally pain free.
Q. Is it safe to use on children?
A. Yes it is suitable for any age, as it is natural and safe,
children love it. But again, if your child has sensitive skin do a patch test first.
Q. I am pregnant, is it safe to use Jagua?
A. Yes it's totally fine; enjoy yourself and congratulations.

A. It works on all skin colours
Q. Where on my body will it work?

Q. Where can I find it?

Q. Is there a wholesale rate?

prices and delivery costs.
Q. Will Jagua stain clothes and furnishings?
A. Yes but only while still wet. Please be very careful when applying
Jagua gel and waiting for your tattoo to dry.
Q. What happens if I go swimming with
my tattoo?
A. Most swimming pools contain chlorine, which is bleach, so your
design may fade. We suggest covering your tattoo with our after
care cream (try the sparkly one!) or using a barrier cream.
Q. Can I re-apply as it starts to fade?
A. We would recommend that you give your skin a break in between applications.
