The ancient practice of henna or mehndi application has gained plenty of fans in the last few years. The paste also works as a natural hair dye and makes for a convenient alternative to chemical based dyes.
Of course, it is the intricate
exquisiteness of henna designs themselves that make henna services so popular on
a global scale. The temporary tattoos look great with any attire which is also
what makes them a staple sight in Indian or Pakistani weddings. Of course, the
word “tattoo” in the term is bound to raise an eyebrow or two. So without
further ado, let’s see what henna art actually is and why the custom tattoos
make perfect accessories for any event -
They are Perfectly Safe
A henna tattoo takes the “ouch”
out of any tattooing experience. But aren’t they tattoos, you say? Well no, at
least, not in the strictest sense of the word.
Unlike permanent tattoos, henna tattoos aren’t applied under the skin,
which makes them the safest form of body art anywhere. Henna paste only leaves
stains or designs on the skin and is applied with a cone shaped nozzle.

Temporary Tattoos
You just got a permanent tattoo
on your face and can’t wait to show it off. However, the novelty is bound to
wear off after the third shindig. The inked in mocking bird on your face
definitely won’t. Why should you take a needle to your skin for a permanent
tattoo while a henna tattoo can be applied topically, disappears after a few
days, and works just as well? A henna design can also last for longer depending
on your skin type and how long you keep the paste on it before washing it off
to reveal the beautiful design underneath.

with a variety of designs to choose from and henna artists are no different.

form of intricate floral designs that go great with any ensemble.
Make a Fashion Statement
This goes without saying. Your
“hennaed” hands are bound to pique anyone’s interest which makes a temporary
solution, such as a henna design, a perfect ice breaker for any social
gathering. Get a lotus flower painted on your palms or have the henna artist
come over to your home in Pasadena and celebrate the next baby shower with a henna
party for your gal pals.
