Mica Tattoo Video!

Henna Muse just put out a great new video on creating mica tattoos.

Mica tattoos are just like glitter tattoos, except that they use mica instead of glitter. Mica is the same sort of colorant used in eye shadows. A skin safe, medical acrylic adhesive is applied to skin, and mica powders are brushed over it. Mica tattoos tend to last a little longer than glitter tattoos because mica has a much smaller particle size. This lets the particles stay secure in the glue longer.
