Why People Slap Leaves On To Their Skin

#shorts

Why are so many people slapping leaves onto their skin? You may have seen people take this specific type of plant, press it against their arm, and smack it firmly. You might have even seen people doing it on their clothes too. See, the underside of this leaf is covered in a natural powder made up of microscopic hairs and spores, and when you slap it against your skin, that powder transfers and sticks instantly. When you peel the leaf off, it leaves behind a perfect detailed print in the exact shape of the leaf. People do it because it looks exactly like a real tattoo, but it's completely painless and washes away the next day.
