The art of Henna Tattoo, an import from South East Asia and the Middle East, is philosophically rooted in the basic human desire to celebrate life in all its aspects and at all stages, giving expression to rejoicement.

The greatest advantage of this form of Body Tattoo is its temporary nature....usually lasting at least 2 weeks and up to a month depending on the skin type and care taken by the individual. With Henna, one never gets tattooed for life and can start over again with a clean slate.

The special formula used consists of Henna powder derived from its leaves, a secret blend of all-natural essential oils including eucalyptus and a natural staining agent such as coffee. The resulting mixture is an all-natural herbal paste which is absolutely non-toxic and completely safe for use on the human body.

Procedure and Aftercare

The pre-formulated henna paste is put in a cone which is usually made of a thin plastic film.

We do not use any stencils for creating designs. All Tattoo designs are done freehand using either the artist's imagination or reproducing any pre-selected design from our house catalog or any other source of our customer's choosing.

Once the application is complete, we allow 15 to 20 minutes for drying and then superficially apply a fluid mix of lime and sugar that helps to keep the printed paste intact.

Please allow at least 20 more minutes for the henna to set and stain the skin before you gently scrape off the paste. For best results, we recommend a longer setting time (45 minutes to an hour depending on weather conditions and the individual's patience levels).

Please avoid washing or rinsing the tattooed area for a few hours to allow the henna color to stain well.

Depending on the skin type, over the next 48 to 72 hours the Tattoo attains its darkest tone.
