Tatuaje temporal, con pasta de café - Arte corporal | Temporary tattoo, with coffee paste - Body Art

in #hive-1525243 years ago

With this post, I do not intend to change or affect the culture in any way, in fact, quite the opposite. Many people are curious about henna tattoos and due to low resources or lack of materials, are unable to experiment. This is just a cheap and practical alternative, which can be used to practice designs and perfect them before moving on to expensive materials. I appreciate your understanding.

Hola, hoy voy a estar experimentando con café, intentando hacer algo parecido a la pasta de la planta henna, que utilizan para hacer tatuajes temporales en algunos países asiáticos.

La idea surge, porque me puse a ver un video de una artista colombiana, especialista en tatuajes de henna y me gustó mucho, lo que no me gustó fue darme cuenta que 50 miligramos de polvo de henna, cuesta 8$.. asi que decidí experimentar y es lo que les mostraré a continuación 😊

Aca les dejo el video del cual les hablo: YouTube

Hello, today I am going to be experimenting with coffee, trying to make something similar to the henna plant paste, which is used to make temporary tattoos in some Asian countries.

The idea came about because I watched a video of a Colombian artist, a specialist in henna tattoos, and I liked it a lot. What I didn't like was realizing that 50 milligrams of henna powder costs $8.. so I decided experiment and that is what I will show you next 😊

Here is the video I am talking about: YouTube

Lo ingredientes que voy a estar utilizando son casi los mismos que ella utiliza en el video, aunque voy a estar sustituyendo el polvo de henna por café. No sirve el café que queda en el colador, debe ser café nuevo, asi que recomiendo utilizar el de peor calidad y asi ahorrar en costos 😊

Para éste experimento utilicé:
2 cucharadas de café
1 cucharada de zumo de limón
1 cucharada de aceite de coco
1 cucharada de miel

The ingredients that I am going to be using are almost the same that she uses in the video, although I am going to be substituting the henna powder for coffee. The coffee that remains in the strainer does not work, it must be new coffee, so I recommend using the worst quality and thus save on costs 😊

For this experiment I used:
2 tablespoons of coffee
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 tablespoon of honey

Simplemente mezclamos todo, quedará inicialmente como una pasta muy espesa, aunque luego se volverá mas suave, asi que no te preocupes.

Debemos dejar reposar nuestra pasta de café, lo ideal es de un día para otro en un lugar calido, aunque por falta de tiempo, yo solo lo deje 2 horas encima de la nevera, que hace bastante calor. La chicha dice, que ella incluso coloca su pasta debajo de una lámpara y así acelera el proceso de oxidación, que es lo que queremos.

¿Mientras que hacemos? Pues, tomar limonada, hecha con el zumo que quedó 😂

We simply mix everything, it will initially be a very thick paste, although it will become smoother later, so don't worry.

We must let our coffee paste rest, the ideal is overnight in a warm place, although due to lack of time, I only leave it for 2 hours on top of the fridge, which is quite hot. The chicha says that she even places her paste under a lamp and thus speeds up the oxidation process, which is what we want.

While what do we do? Well, drink lemonade, made with the juice that was left 😂

En cuanto al diseño.. la verdad, soy muy malo. Asi que solo experimenté como Dios me dió a entender 😂

Una vez hecho el diseño, debemos cubrir con plástico el tatuaje por una hora, ésto hará que los poros de nuestra piel se abran, absorbiendo parte de los aceites esenciales de nuestro café, lo que dejará un tatuaje.

As for the design... the truth is, I'm very bad. So I just experienced how God made me understand 😂

Once the design is done, we must cover the tattoo with plastic for an hour, this will open the pores of our skin, absorbing part of the essential oils of our coffee, which will leave a tattoo.

De nuevo, por cuestiones de tiempo, yo me adelanté a mi época y lo dejé solo 20 minutos. Una vez esperado ese tiempo, debemos lavarlo con cuidado.

Para mi sorpresa, es bastante impermeable nuestra pasta de café, aguantó bastante bien y costó un poco sacarla. Importante hacerlo sin frotar y sin utilizar jabón.

Again, for reasons of time, I was ahead of my time and left it alone for 20 minutes. Once we have waited for that time, we must wash it carefully.

To my surprise, our coffee paste is quite waterproof, it held up quite well and took a while to get out. It is important to do it without rubbing and without using soap.

Y ya lo tendríamos listo, solo dejamos secar nuestra mano al aire o utilizando una toalla absorbente con cuidado, dando pequeños toques sobre la zona 😊

En resumen, me encantó. Quiero decir, es una alternativa decente, quiero que noten lo roja que está mi mano luego de haber intentado quitarlo con un papel y aun asi, quedaron marcas, asi que si, aguanta bastante.

Considero que con un café mas fino (tal vez pulverizandolo), podríamos conseguir un mejor resultado. Y si respetas los tiempos entre una cosa u otra, si creo que esto puede durar varios días en la piel, siempre y cuando no laves platos, porque no es inmune al quita grasa 😂

And we would have it ready, we just let our hand dry in the air or carefully using an absorbent towel, giving small touches on the area 😊

In short, I loved it. I mean, it's a decent alternative, I want you to notice how red my hand is after I tried to remove it with a piece of paper and it still left marks, so yeah, it holds up pretty well.

I think that with a finer coffee (perhaps by pulverizing it), we could achieve a better result. And if you respect the times between one thing or another, I do believe that this can last several days on the skin, as long as you don't wash dishes, because it is not immune to fat remover 😂

Very interesting this idea of coffee as tattoo ink, very organic, what doesn't convince me yet is your tattoo 😅 you should practice a bit more, just kidding 😉

Muy interesante esta idea del café como tinta para tatuajes, muy orgánico, lo que no me convence aún es tu tatuaje 😅 deberás practicar un poco más, es broma 😉

Yes, I must practice haha, yes it's easy, but it works better on people without hair on their arms

😉👍

Hello @oscargonzalez123,
That's very creative. Do you know if the strength and longevity of the coffee tattoo is as long as a henna tattoo?

It would depend on the quality of the coffee and the maturation of the grain. Let's see, in very broad terms, the younger a plant is, the less water it absorbs through the leaves or fruits, on the contrary, the more adult it is, the more permeability it develops.

Now, despite the fact that coffee is water-soluble (it dissolves in water), it lasts quite well, for at least 3 days, due to the coconut oil, which together with the natural oils of the coffee, plus the natural fat of the skin, creates a barrier that does not allow water to dilute it when bathing.

In fact, I did a test before making the post and after two baths it started to discolor. So, using the correct coffee, making the paste more worked and respecting the times of oxidation, drying and giving it the pertinent care when washing. I would say that coffee lasts a respectable 3 days before fading and about 5 before fading.

Hey, this is a great idea to surprise your nephews, nieces or kids at a tribal themed party.

thanks for sharing :D

🇪🇦 En serio? Jajaja qué divertido. Pero si en su preparación hay limón, hay que tener cuidado con la exposición al sol. Porque el limón puede manchar la piel. Saludos @oscargonzalez123

🇺🇲 Really? hahaha how funny. But if in your preparation there is lemon, you have to be careful with sun exposure. Because lemon can stain the skin. Greetings @oscargonzalez123

Buena observación, tal vez sea buena idea usar protector solar arriba. De igual forma, se suele usar para reuniones o fiestas nocturnas, no es como para ir a la playa o salir a sudar al centro jaja, saludos :)

Good point, maybe it's a good idea to wear sunscreen on top. In the same way, it is usually used for meetings or night parties, it is not like going to the beach or going out to sweat downtown haha

Whoever is directly controlling the V2K told me to kill myself.
They told me if I killed myself now it would save the lives of countless others.
Saying the longer I wait to kill myself the more people will suffer.


They are reckless and should have shown the proper media what they had before taking me hostage for 5 years. I know there are many in prison that dont deserve to be there because of this. Your stay in prison will not be fun @battleaxe and friends. People are going to want you dead when they find out what you did. I hope you die a slow painful death. You sick mother fuckers.

Its a terrorist act on American soil while some say its not real or Im a mental case. Many know its real. This is an ignored detrimental to humanity domestic and foreign threat. Ask informed soldiers in the American military what their oath is and tell them about the day you asked me why. Nobody has I guess. Maybe someone told ill informed soldiers they cant protect America from military leaders in control with ill intent. How do we protect locked up soldiers from telling the truth?

Hi, Very interesting your publication.

I will be happy to do the test. I have always wanted to get a tattoo, but it scares me a lot. Now I could make a very nice one taking advantage of this goodness you show us about coffee.

Thanks for leaving us the step by step 😁 it looks cool. Cheers.

You shouldn't be afraid, the worst that can happen is that it looks ugly and you wash it and that's it. Greetings
