Quick Henna Jewel for Everyday Wear

henna jewel for the wristHere is a lovely example of a traditional henna pattern that works well for everyday wear in Western culture. The pattern is from the "Sangeet" pattern book.

This quick henna took about 10 minutes from start to finish, and fit perfectly on the wrist. It is a "tiny" tattoo, but a lovely example of the traditional art.

I am using a "wetter" paste this year, which means that the henna flows very quickly from the cone and is easier to work with. The wetter paste does take a bit longer to dry on the skin, so you may need to wait a bit longer for the henna to dry.

However, this extended drying time helps you get darker color in your finished henna tattoo. Stop by the Midnight Sun, 1055 Park Street, Jacksonville, Florida on Saturdays to get your henna art. Remember if you want to have henna on the lower back or belly, wear hip huggers & a crop top.

For tattoo on the feet, wear the tiniest sandals possible! More skin = more color.

Full Palm Henna Tattoo - First of the Season

henna tattoo full palm jamila henna tattooJamila henna makes such a fine, smooth paste that it only takes a few moments to create a lovely complex design like the one in this photo.

I am always happy to start the season with customers who really want the full henna experience, the intricate pattern, cooling paste, relaxing atmosphere and ambient music.

I enjoyed meeting a new friend - a charming Pisces man - who ordered this pattern. (yes - men get henna!).
I thank Phillip so much for sharing time & space with me. As henna season is off to a very good start, you might want to call to schedule your appointment on Saturday.
