Henna Tattoo Designs

What is henna tattooing? Henna tattooing is a form of temporary body decoration similar in appearance to a tattoo and it last on the skin from 7 to 10 days. Henna tattoos are becoming very popular, for many people, committing themselves to a single permanent tattoo is somewhat intimidating. However, there is an alternative. Henna tattoos are a form of temporary body art that has been practiced for millennia (but has only become popular in the United States within the last few decades). It is known as Mehndi.

Henna tattoos are temporary, so you can change your mind about design or placement without having to stick to it permanently. Henna tattoos cost less than traditional tattoos. A professional artist can apply henna tattoos quickly and easily. There is no need to wait for the tattoo to heal.
