Faces of India – 173 Black Henna Tattoo in Goa
Getting a temporary tattoo done is one of the ‘must do’ activities customarily followed by most tourists when they are in Goa. (Black henna tattoo done very quickly at an affordable price).
I was almost crossing the tattoo shop after waiting for a while to take the artist’s photo. He seemed too busy, after all this was his daily living. But as I was crossing I noticed the young tourist’s tattoo of Chhatrapati Shivaji on his left forearm. I was impressed with his adoration for this great leader.
Faces of India,
Faces of India is a series through which I intend to portray the various characters of my country whom I met during my travels. I bring back souvenirs, frozen moments from my travels, why not some memories of people I have met and interacted during the travels. Faces of India is a weekly series in my blog since MARCH 2011.

Black Henna Tattoo in Goa
Caution: Be aware of black henna tattoo on skin. These temporary tattoos may contain high levels of a chemical dye so powerful and toxic that it is illegal to use it on the skin in this way. The paste’s ingredients – specifically, a chemical called paraphenylenediamine (PPD) is risky and harmful to skin.
Someday I'll gather up my courage to get an awesome permanent tattoo 🙂
His interest on tattoo (Shivaji) impresses me too! Good capture
You do find some of the most interesting subjects making this such a fine series. Today's is no exception.

A temporary tattoo is better than a permanent one, I think.
