I have some of that ink. Temptu makes nice kits which are available from many places, including Castle Arts. I got an Indian kit with 25 colors (but smaller bottles than the Temptu kits) from Body Arts Supply and LOVE it. I also love henna. Paints and henna are very different, but not incompatible. I use the body paints for fake henna designs in areas that never get dark on me (chest, upper arms, etc)...for fake facial tattoos when performing dance, and sometimes to accent a nice henna design (e.g. adding some blue or yellow inside a flower) The advantage of the paints is that they are easily removeable with alcohol and cotton. The advantage of henna is that it is a much richer and more satisfying experience. That's why I have a henna design on at all times, and only use the body paints for special occasions.
