If you want a unique fashion statement, protection from the "evil eye", or just an easy way to express your individualism and impress your friends and family, get a Mehndi body art tattoo. It's not a permanent tattoo; it will last only a few weeks, but you can make a permanent impression by creating a photo to canvas portrait wearing your tattoo.
Though not technically speaking a tattoo (which requires piercing the skin's surface), a Mehndi body art tattoo design drawn by a skilled practitioner will result in a unique body decoration.
Mehndi, the art of applying henna, dates back at least 5,000 years. It probably originated in Egypt or the Middle East and then spread to India. Mehndi is popular in Arabic-speaking countries and among Muslim communities throughout the world. It is associated with festivals and weddings and uses designs specific to ethnic traditions and family customs. Westerners delighted with the beauty of the intricate designs have adopted Mehndi as a fashion accessory.
A Mehndi tattoo is a safe and painless procedure using a paste made from the henna plant to draw a design directly onto the skin using a plastic cone or brush, or a small metal-tipped jac bottle. The dye lawsone in the paste reacts with the protein keratin found in human skin resulting in a long-lasting stain on the skin's surface. Application methods vary greatly and the resulting color, ranging from very dark brown to pale gold, depends on the type of henna used as well as the length of time the paste is left on the skin
Plan a digital photo session showing your Mehndi body art to best advantage. Depending on whether you'll be hanging your photo on canvas portrait on your own wall or giving it as a gift you can choose the ideal pose to have turned into an original photo on canvas work of art.
