Traditional Henna Patterns & Tips for a Great Tattoo

Happy Henna Season to every one! Featured today is a photo of a traditional style henna tattoo by Ann George for the back of the hand. Henna works best on the palms, back of the hands and on the feet.

It does not work as well on the stomach, the back, nor the chest. If you want a temporary tattoo for that part of your body, you are better off buying a decal tattoo. There are lots of nice new Indian design decals for lades  for sale at The Midnight Sun (they are on the counter.)

Also, if you want henna in these places, please be sure to dress in clothing that will not disturb the henna, and be prepared to adjust your day so that the henna may remain on your skin for at least three hours.

For gentlemen, the henna takes best on the inner wrist. I am able to do henna on your upper arms, but please be sure to shave several days ahead of time. It is unlikely that henna will give good color on the chest.

The price of a henna tattoo starts at $15 and fees increase from that point. For example, the tattoo in the photo cost $30.00.  I use only the finest, freshest henna powder mixing the paste myself each week to ensure you get the best color possible.

I have just purchased some organic rajasthani henna, long known for giving deep red color on the palms and look forward to trying that out this weekend. I will offer henna tattoo at the Midnight Sun Friday and Saturday if all goes well and weather permits.

It's Henna Time Again! Spirit Vision Henna is back at The Midnight Sun

Do you love henna tattoo? Have you been waiting all winter long for the weather to break? Well, the wait is over.

I am happy to say I just made up a very lovely paste, letting it rest in the sun so that the dye would happily release from the mix of henna powder, henna tea & lemon juice.

Essential oils and some tamarind were added, the paste rested another day in balmy sunshine, and I now have a cone of henna to give deep stains on the hands and feet.

For those new to henna, it is a heat-activated body dye, and thus we wait for the warmer weather. The longer you leave your henna paste on the skin, and the warmer the weather, the darker your finished color will be.

I use quality henna powder from reliable suppliers, and the finest essential oils... but you must come prepared as well. Please do not come for henna wearing lotion or sun screen as this will prevent the dye from staining your skin a deep color.

I am hoping you will leave the paste on your skin for at least three hours, so if you want henna on your feet... wear the tiniest flip flops possible. ( Some want to brave 5 Points bare foot, but I don't think this is the best idea. )

Henna tattoo designs start at $15 and go up from there. I bring a good selection of pattern books, and you are welcome to look through the many images posted on this blog, or on my henna site.

I have been doing henna tattoo for over ten years now, all henna is free hand, and I am happy to create a unique design that fits your style and your budget. It is best to call ahead for henna if you want a tattoo during the week. I am not always available on short notice, so best to plan ahead.

I will be offering henna tattoo at The Midnight Sun, 1055 Park Street, Jacksonville, Florida 32205 this Saturday, most probably between 1 and 4 PM. Please call 904-993-7466 for more information if need be.

People today often have unique perception on what are the perfect sexy tattoos. For many customers it's always the design, for some it's always where the particular body art is found. What we will explain to you here are the very best ideas today for both ladies and men sexy tattoos.

Probably the most controversial tattoo nowadays usually are viewed by a lot as the sexiest for gals is the lower back tattoo. This has normally been termed as a tramp stamp and some many people think this type of body art is usually trashy. But most persons recognize that due to the way the back of the female curves this makes a really sensual and sexy area for the art work to be done.

Well-liked designs intended for lower back tattoos include: tribal art work, flowers, butterflies and just about anything fascinating found in nature.

For men one of many sexiest spots for tattoos would be the armband tattoo. This type of body art usually adds appeal to a pumped up bicep. It is vital that a fella keep fit as well as sturdy for this to operate. When the arm results in being flabby it is going to enhance a flabby bicep that is definitely not very sexy.
Famous art work intended for armband art include: tribal designs, Celtic art, vines and barbed wire.

For both men as well as females, tattoos that happen to be concealed are generally deemed especially sexy. A tattoo that is going to be only revealed to one more individual in an intimate situation can be very sexy. Places for body art just like this are often positioned on the breasts, groin, lower abdomen not to mention even genitals.

Tattoos in all these areas are probably often small and discrete.
Women will usually wear tattoos comparable to these with themes of hearts, cupid, trailing stars, or devilish cartoon characters. Men feel to favor artwork, even in these unknown locations, that tend to be more of the tribal art which represents their strong and hard nature.

No matter where you determine to have your tattoo done on your body or what the pattern it is pretty important you do it with attitude. Specifically if it is hidden, when that tattoo is disclosed to that special man or woman, having a sexy and self-assured attitude will also make the tattoo even sexier.

The essential thing to take into account is that the tattoo will be permanent. It is for that justification loads of tattoo artists do not recommend possessing a tattoo done with your significant others name. Just in case the romance breaks up at some point in the future that is probably a good idea.

If perhaps you are not guaranteed how you will look and feel about a sexy tattoo look into henna art. That is a tattoo that will wear away soon after a few weeks. If you discover you like the tattoo then you can have it inked permanently.
