I've never had a henna tattoo. I see them on the beautiful bellies of my pregnant doula clients all the time. Its such a wonderful way to celebrate a rite of passage. I've been thinking about having some henna done this summer to celebrate my birthday. Have you ever had a henna tattoo? Where on your body did you have it done? Were you celebrating something special?
And one of my sweet readers, Karla, sent this AMAZING photo
of her daughter modeling a henna corset. Isn't it spectacular?

Absolutely beautiful body art - I had a small henna tattoo done once in turkey - nothing like these ones though - they are exquisite.

Oh, I had one on my upper arm, once. It was made on a holiday in Tunisia. I loved it but it was a much more simple one than in your pictures!

if you have a east Indian shop in your locality you can get henna paste in long thin cones(just like filled pastry bag ).
