Henna is a beautiful temporary tattoo style. If you are looking for something elegant, original, henna tattoo on hand will be great choice.
BODY ART
Henna tattooing is an ancient practice. It uses temporary brown dye rather than ink to create designs with significant and often spiritual meaning. This form of body decoration dates back to ancient Egypt and has since spread to countries like India and Saudi Arabia.
Today, women commonly use it to express luck and happiness. Henna (mehndi) is a crucial part of many Indian celebrations such as: Diwali, engagements, and weddings. If you attend a traditional Indian wedding, henna will almost always be a part of the celebration.
Moreover people made a henna paste from a powder derived from the henna plant. People used it for centuries as a natural dye for hair, nails and for body art. Henna artists use a special tube or syringe to design delicate patterns on the palms and feet or any part of the body. It lasts approximately for two weeks.
DESIGN
Henna tattoos are a perfect option for the girl who wants something stylish and exotic without making a permanent commitment. Like ink tattoo, you can apply henna almost anywhere on the body. But certain locations hold more significance than others. For instance, people belive that henna tattoos placed on the palms allow the person to be able to receive and offer blessings. When people applied henna on the top of the hands, it suggests protection. Traditionally brides get their mehndi adorned all the way up the their elbow. You can also use henna to decorate your fingers, wrists, sides of your hands or even your feet.
