My order of Jamila Henna came today. Buy your box of super fresh and finely sifted Jamila henna online at Spirit Vision Henna  . This year I am able to sell the 100 gram box, with free shipping by US mail for $9.25 a box. Orders ship the same day or next day 6 days a week. Please notice that I did sell out of the 2009 harvest early this year, so if Jamila is your favorite brand, buy a box for now, and perhaps one for the freezer.   Jamila henna keeps very well as it is shipped in a sealed foil wrap in a lovely little box that is also sealed, and dated.  I hope you enjoy your henna as much as I do. With best wishes, Ann George  - Henna Artist

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. If you would like henna tattoo in the Greater Jacksonville Florida area, please call Spirit Vision Henna.

Here is an example of a free hand / free spirit henna tattoo for a man.  Yes, men can get henna tattoo as well! The same rules apply, you get the best color on the back of the hand,   and inner wrist... places where men feel most comfortable placing their henna tattoo. It is possible to do henna on the upper arm, to do tribal bands and Kanji tattoos there, however, the finished color will not be as dark and generally will not last as long as henna tattoo put on the hands. This design is based in part on traditional North African designs.. and we just went from there. Shapes the client like were added.. and so you see, a powerful tribal style design. Several layers of lemon sugar were applied. Perhaps I will be able to post a photo of the finished color, which appears about 48 hours after the paste is removed. At present, a new mix of henna paste is basking in the morning sun. Henna tattoo will be offered in the ambient comfort of The Midnight Sun, 1055 Park  Street, ...

Here is a quick henna tattoo design that makes use of many traditional elements... the flower, the paisley, and of course, the little dot. To draw this pattern, the larger design areas were created, then filled in with traditional components. This design is for a customer going right back to work in retail. She needed something that would make it easy to use her hand, leave her finger tips free... and still be lovely. A henna tattoo like this one costs @$30.00. The black paste you see on the skin is not the finished tattoo. The paste will remain on the skin for three to six hours. A glaze of lemon, sugar and essential oils was applied to help keep the paste on the skin.. and the enhance the finished color. After the paste falls off, or in some cases after you scrape it off, apply olive oil to the design area. The application of olive oil keeps water out & helps to keep body heat in. Henna is a heat activated dye and the color will darken over the next 48 hours with proper care. A f...

Stop by the shop Noon thirty-ish this Saturday for henna tattoo by Ann George. Pictured in this blog is a photo of an African tribal style henna which shows henna paste on the back of the hand, and paste and finished color on the inner wrist... notice the inner wrist tattoo is outlined again with henna paste. Henna can last one week or more, depending on where you put the tattoo, how long you leave the paste on the skin, and other factors. The Sankofa pattern on the wrist had faded a bit, so we outlined the original design with fresh henna paste to give a two-toned effect. Once the henna paste is scraped off the skin, the bird will have a darker outline and an inner color. Please know that all henna pastes are different. At the Midnight Sun you will get an informed consent to sign before you have your henna tattoo. This will tell you all the ingredients in the paste ( made fresh by Ann George! ), as well as how to take care of your body art. An Spirit Vision, we do not use black henna,...

As you can see, a good henna paste will stay on the skin even while working! This henna paste has been sprayed once with a lemon sugar glaze... but more importantly, the client knows that the longer she leaves the paste undisturbed on her skin, the darker the finished color will be. As the weather turns cooler, we are coming to the end of every Saturday henna tattoo at The Midnight Sun. Please call the studio - (904) 993-7466 - to see if henna will be offered on a Saturday, or to get more information about scheduling a henna party . Hiring a henna tattoo artist for your party, event, or fundraising effort assures your guests of a unique, relaxing and artistic evening. Namaste!

Here is a photo of a quick henna pattern for the back of the hand. While the darkest color is achieved when applying henna tattoo to the palm, most customers find it very difficult to go about daily activities with a henna tattoo on the palm of the hand. As well.. it is easy show off your new design! Surprisingly, we seldom show our palms to the public. This photo is a picture of henna paste on the skin & NOT black henna. This paste will remain on the skin for several hours and once scraped off, will leave a stain that darkens over the next 48 hours. The better care you take of your henna, the longer the tattoo will last. For more info on henna tattoo aftercare, please see the FAQ page.
