Got Kids? Go to The Seaweed Shack - Seaside - the last remaining kiosk

[Poodleone]

Last year, we really wanted to get henna tatoos to commemorate a terrific week but all the tatoo places were closed that 2nd week of September.

This year, I will check the very first day to see if we catch them before they close!

The very first time I visited Seaside ( 4 years ago) we got henna tats. Mine was a pair of flip flops on my right ankle. It was supposed to last 2 weeks. Mine lasted a day. I followed all the proper instructions too. It was kind of expensive for a very temporary tat. I'd do it again though if I knew it would last longer than a day! I like the ones the girl got on her feet. Good if you go barefoot a lot. I love beach shops like this!!! I'm glad they still have that one.

Did you leave the henna paste on for a while? Did you avoid soap on your ankle?

I had one that covered the whole back of my hand & up my arm (a little) one time that lasted for 2 weeks.... AND I had to use scrub to finally get it off!

They are grayt! My girls will love it, especially my fireball middle child. Although my eldest wants her hair died funky colors this summer. Any suggestions on dyeing with KoolAid?:shock:

Sounds like we'll get henna tattoos before the next SoWal hodown...

As for Fired Up, we loved going there with our kids in February. We spent about 3 hours there and easily could have spent about 5 hours there (but we were getting hungry for lunch and I like my naptime).

Report back, six days after getting this one, it is still going strong. Henna tat recipient says that it stays on longer if you cover it with vasoline prior to getting it wet.

They sell temporary dye in a variety of colors that comes in an applicator similar to a mascara wand if she just wants streaks.
We used to dye our hair w/ Koolaid and Jello-don't recommend it!

I knew this guy that had a really cool koolaid colored mohawk.

In our local newspaper, there was an article about 2 children that received henna tattoos at Seaside having an allergic reaction to the PPD (a black hair dye from Africa) used to make the tats last longer and stay dark. If someone is allergic to the dye, it can cause reactions in the future to some antibiotics. It is suggested to ask if pure henna is used which is safer.

Hopefully these two children are isolated cases.
