Inkbox vs. Henna: Key Differences Explained

Inkbox is not traditional henna, though both are used for temporary body art. Here’s how they differ:

🎨 What Is Inkbox?

Inkbox creates semi-permanent tattoos (lasting 1–2 weeks) using a plant-based formula. Unlike henna, which stains the skin, Inkbox’s ink penetrates the top layers for a bolder, more precise design.

🌿 What Is Henna?

Henna is a natural dye from the Lawsonia inermis plant, staining the skin orange-brown and fading in 1–3 weeks. Traditional henna is paste-based and requires drying time.
