Jagua ~ The Traditional, Natural Alternative to ‘PPD’
Thankfully these days there is a safe and natural alternative to the black stain achieved with PPD products. Jagua is a fruit from the Latin American Rainforest, it has been used for hundreds (if not thousands) of years by the Rainforest Tribes to decorate their skin with really amazing black body art. You have probably already seen this body art on many TV documentaries, like (BBC), its possible that for some years people have actually assumed that the body art was permanent tattoos because they actually look so similar.
We are proud to be at the forefront of the new jagua body art industry! You can find out more about Jagua from our sister site The first Jagua Body Art website!
