They're not permanent like an ink tattoo, but they also don't wash off like a pen mark. Henna tattoos are made by making a paste out of leaves of the henna plant and something acidic like lemon juice. The leaves alone won't stain, but acids release a dye called lawsone, which is what actually does the job. Lawsone molecules form very strong bonds with protein molecules and also penetrate the skin quite well.
If you put some lawsone on your skin, which has a lot of protein, the lawsone will seep in deeply and stick to the proteins. If you apply a paste with lawsone on it and leave it on for a while traditionally many hours you will have stained all the way through your outer skin layer.
