What even is henna?

Henna tattoos, also known as Mehndi or mehendi, are a beautiful form of body art that originated in Ancient India. They are temporary body designs made from the henna plant, which is a plant native to the Middle East and South Asia, as well as some parts of northern Africa. Henna tattoos have become widely popular globally now, and are often provided at vacation areas. 

Traditionally, henna tattoos were applied only on women's hands and feet for special celebrations such as weddings, festivals, and religious ceremonies. However, in recent years, henna tattoos have become a popular trend among both men and women and are now seen as a beautiful form of self-expression. Even in its home regions, henna has become a statement of fashion and fun, as well. 

Henna paste is made by

grinding the leaves of the henna plant into a powder and then mixing it with water or lemon juice and essential oil to form a paste. The paste is then applied to the skin in intricate designs using a cone or a brush. After the paste has dried it is left on the skin for a few hours or overnight, and then peeled off to reveal a beautiful orange color underneath. The color of the henna tattoo stain will deepen into a dark red brown which usually lasts for one to two weeks, depending on the quality of the henna paste and the wearer's care of the stain.​

What kind of henna tattoo should I get?

There is a variety of patterns and designs of henna tattoos, ranging from simple and minimalistic to complex and intricate. Some popular henna tattoo designs include floral patterns, geometric shapes, and Arabic calligraphy. Henna tattoos also have a significant cultural and spiritual impact and are often used to symbolize certain beliefs or values, such as good health, prosperity, or blessings.
One of the best things about henna tattoos is that they are entirely customizable, and you can create a design that is unique to you. Additionally, henna tattoos can be applied to any part of the body, making them a versatile and stylish option.
