3. What kind of paint do you use and how safe is it for the skin?

Answer: ITD formula body paints are designed specifically for application to the skin. Produced in the good old USA using FDA approved non-toxic, instant drying ingredients, ITD formula body paints can be applied with equal success via airbrush or hand brush. One four-ounce bottle of ITD body paint can produce on average around 400 airbrush tattoos. We do not know of a single case where there has been an adverse skin reaction due to the use of ITD formulated body paints.

ITD does not recommend the use of henna products for the following reasons. Many individuals display adverse skin reactions to henna (ranging from mild to quite extreme) creating obvious liability factors to consider. Henna products are not instant drying, thus if the henna design is smeared during the staining and drying process, it will remain in that condition for the duration! Henna products must be mixed for use, and once mixed, they tend to have a very short shelf life. Furthermore henna takes considerably longer to apply than ITD Airbrush Body Art, again making it less cost productive. Henna has a distinct look to it, that for the purpose of realism does not compare with the ITD airbrush Tattoo. Finally, the use of henna requires one to have definite artistic ability, which rules out the majority of entrepreneurs.
