Henna tattoos are completely safe for all ages! Henna is a small flowering shrub that has many uses. The fragrant flowers are used to create perfume, and the leaves are dried and then turned into a fine powder that’s used for dying clothes, hair and temporarily dying the skin — hence henna tattooing. We use only the finest, all-natural henna paste products, both high-quality pre-made brands and quality hand-mixed pastes. 

Henna tattoos are applied by squeezing the paste out of small cones directly onto the skin. Much like a cake decorator squeezes frosting onto a cake, henna artists squeeze the paste onto the skin in fine lines. Our henna artists bring design option sheets for each person to choose from. Both very simple or more complex designs can be chosen, and applied to any part of the body other than the face – usually hands, arms, legs or feet. Pregnant bellies or bald heads can also be great spots for henna designs! The henna paste cakes up and dries and must stay on the skin for about an hour, at which point you rub off the paste, and see that the skin has been stained beneath it. At first the dye is light, but becomes darker after several hours or overnight. The design gets darker and more vivid, and stays on the skin for 2-4 weeks!
