Which is best to make body paint with or tattoo's and can you dye your hair with black henna and can you dye your hair with jagua? Which one stays longer i tattoo form (non-permanent kind)
What is temptu and how long does it last? How long does henna and jagua last, which is better for a tattoo? And looks more like one ?



Answer
Do not use "black henna". It is not henna, it can be made many substances - some benign some harmful - none of it being henna but it can possibly burn and scar by chemical burn.

I did a brief search on Jagua (since I never heard of it), but the name of the plant the product is derived from is Genipa americana.

I have used temptu, its a professional grade temporary tattoo. It is used for makeup special effect in movies. It is alcohol based, last 2-5 days and can be removed with baby oil. Can give realistic tattoos.

Indigo is a plant used for thousands of year for dying and ink. It gives a dark blue/black result. Is it similar to henna in that you can dye your hair with it (for natural black dye) or create blue/black tattoos. When using for tattoos - indigo crystals with water in a shot glass are applied with a small paintbrush. It can last about 3-5 days.
Also it depends where on the skin it is applied (hands, feet, face, elsewhere).

Personally I prefer henna - I like the dark red brown color, it fades to a more natural skin tone and last the longest (again depending on where applied - bottoms of hands and feet last the longest)

I've gotten most of my information on Henna and Indigo from Catherine Cartwright Jones who is a fabulously interesting women earning her PhD on the study of Henna.
Explore her sites (posted below) they have a plethora of information.

For a "black" tattoo I would use temptu because it is black and not water soluble. Good Luck!

did the real cheng shih the famouse chinese female pirate really have a portrait of someone named jacky?

in the book wake of the Loralie lee in the authors note it says a portrait of a young European girl named Jacky was found in her personal effects. Just wondering if that was true.


Answer
On their long journey to Australia, Jacky manages to pick up an "untouchable" orphan in India, who joins the ship's crew. Along the way, Jacky later becomes the personal pet of Cheng Shih, a female Chinese pirate who controlled one of the largest pirate fleets in history. http://fourthmusketeer.blogspot.ca/2010/08/book-review-wake-of-lorelei-lee-bloody.html ------------------ In The Wake of the Lorelei Lee, book eight of L.A. Meyer's Bloody Jack series, Jacky is captured by Cheng Shih and so impresses her that the pirate bestows her with a tattoo of a dragon on the back of her neck to indicate she is under Shih's protection.------------- Ching Shih (1775â1844) was a prominent female pirate in middle Qing China.
Ching Shih also known as Cheng I Sao terrorized the China Sea in the early 19th century. A brilliant Cantonese female pirate, she commanded 1800 ships and more than 80,000 pirates â men, women, and even children. She challenged the world superpower empires at the time such as the British, Portuguese and the Qing dynasty. Undefeated, she would become one of China and Asia's strongest female pirates, and one of world history's most powerful female pirates. She was also one of the few pirate captains to retire from piracy.
She became subject to numerous books, novels, video games and films. Early life
Little is known about Ching Shih's early life, including her birth name and precise date of birth. She was a Cantonese prostitute who worked in small brothel of Canton, but was captured by pirates. In 1801, she married Zheng Yi, a notorious Cantonese-Chinese pirate. The name she is best remembered by means simply "widow of Zheng". Pirate career
Zheng Yi belonged to a family of successful pirates who traced their criminal origins back to the mid-seventeenth century. Following his marriage to Ching Shih, Zheng Yi used military assertion and his reputation to gather a coalition of competing Cantonese pirate fleets into an alliance. By 1804, this coalition was a formidable force, and one of the most powerful pirate fleets in all of China. They seized loot in all sorts of ways â selling "protection" from pirate attacks, raiding ships, and kidnapping. In 1806, a British officer reported on the terrible fate of those who resisted Ching Shih's pirates. The pirates had nailed an enemy's feet to the deck and then beaten him senseless.
In 1807, Zheng Yi died, and Ching Shih maneuvered her way into his leadership position. The fleet under her command established hegemony over many coastal villages, in some cases even imposing levies and taxes on settlements. According to Robert Antony, Ching Shih "robbed towns, markets, and villages, from Macau to Canton." She was fearless and disciplined her men with strict rules and castrated any man who would commit rape.
The Red Flag Fleet under Ching Shih's rule could not be defeated â not by Qing dynasty Chinese officials, not by the Portuguese navy, not by the British. But in 1810, amnesty was offered to all pirates, and Ching Shih took advantage of it. She ended her career in 1810, accepting an amnesty offer from the Chinese government. She kept her loot, married her lieutenant and adoptive son Cheung Po Tsai, and opened a gambling house.
She died in 1844, at the age of 69.
Cultural references
A semi-fictionalized account of Ching Shih's life appeared in Jorge Luis Borges's short story "The Widow Ching, Lady Pirate" (part of A Universal History of Infamy, first edited in 1954), where she is described as "a lady pirate who operated in Asian waters, all the way from the Yellow Sea to the rivers of the Annam coast", and who, after surrendering to the imperial forces, is pardoned and allowed to live the rest of her life as an opium smuggler. Borges acknowledged the 1932 book The History of of Piracy, by Philip Gosse (grandson of the naturalist Philip Henry Gosse), as the source of the tale.
In 2003, Ermanno Olmi made a film, Singing Behind Screens, loosely based on Borges's retelling, though rights problems prevented the Argentine writer from appearing in the credits.
Afterlife, a 2006 OEL graphic novel, depicts Ching Shih as a guardian who fights demons to protect the denizens of the underworld.
In The Wake of the Lorelei Lee, book eight of L.A. Meyer's Bloody Jack series, Jacky is captured by Cheng Shih and so impresses her that the pirate bestows her with a tattoo of a dragon on the back of her neck to indicate she is under Shih's protection.
In 2007, In third film in the Pirates of the Caribbean series, Ching Shih was also known as Mistress Ching, and played the role of a powerful female pirate.
