Here is a photo of a henna tattoo (paste is on the skin - not black henna) for the active woman. You will see that there is a lacy henna pattern on the palm, rather whimsical, yet incorporating traditional components. However, the fingers and thumbs are free of henna paste, so work can continue for the three to six hours necessary to get the darkest henna color. The palm will always show the true beauty of henna.. yielding colors ranging from rose, to red.. and in some cases, with good aftercare, black cherry red. To ensure the darkest color, leave the paste on the skin as long as possible. It is also good to enjoy the outdoors! Heat is good for henna, water is not. If you want your henna color to last as long as possible, no matter where you put it... the once you remove the paste, cover the design with olive oil to seal in the color & some body heat. If you must wash anything.. please remember .. a bit of olive oil over the henna tattoo keeps water out and color in. For more info...

Here is an example of a freehand tribal style henna tattoo. Bold tribal henna is a good choice for men who want the experience of henna tattoo. This design, while seeming very geometric, also has components found in traditional African patterns. Henna always gives the darkest color on the palms of the hands. This is because of the nature of the skin on the palm - very porous - and fleshy. The porous nature of the skin enables the paste to penetrate deeply. Also, as we sweat from the palm, the henna paste may stay moist on the skin longer, which helps get a better finished color.

Here is a photo of a full palm henna tattoo. Henna always gives the reddest, richest, darkest stain on the palms of the hands. It is traditional to put henna on the palms. If you have never had the experience, a soothing relaxing, aromatherapy moment.. please consider bringing a driver with you for a traditional henna tattoo. It is pampering in the extreme... and the gorgeous henna tattoo left once the paste is removed is quite exotic, and exciting. This is a photo of henna paste on the skin. Under this black paste, henna, a heat-activated body dye, is penetrating layers of the skin. The longer you leave the paste on, and the hotter you get.. the darker the finished color. There are all sorts of aftercare tricks to give you the deepest possible stain.. but most folks choose a simple henna.. and thus it is not as important to push for dark color. Bridal henna is another matter... but you may visit other posts on this blog to learn more about that. If you are interested in henna tattoo, ...

Here is a  photo of a henna tattoo for the arm. The pattern is from the wonderful "Sangeet" pattern book available from Tap Dancing Lizard, and the henna by Ann George of Spirit Vision Henna. This pattern took only a few minutes to do, as the paste was very moist, also fragrant, and easy to apply using a henna cone. You will notice the design is eye-catching because both light & heavy lines were used to create the pattern. This henna tattoo also make use of the shading technique to fill in the petals of the flowers. However, it just didn't feel quite finished. Now, please notice this second photo: You will see that by adding just a few lines at the top of the leaf shaped element on this pattern, the design "comes together" and has a very nice finished look. Sometimes just a few strokes are sufficient to complete a pattern. For those of you new to henna tattoo, these images are photos of the henna paste on the skin, and not black henna tattoo.
