Henna Tattoo Stencils

Choose heavy colors for your henna tattoo if you want it to last longer. Pale colors tend to fade and diminish quickly. The longer your henna tattoo stays the more value you get in spending expensively for it. It is a reality that our society has prejudice on persons with tattoos, stereotyping them too. They have many preconceive ideas like issues on cleanliness and grooming. Some would readily label a person with tattoo as an ex-convict, involve in gangster activities, and many more. It seems that tattoos should not be seen in formal events like weddings, inaugurations, balls, and many others. Therefore, select carefully your design and have it done correctly to avoid the hustle of prejudice and typecasting. The fact that you like your tattoo and you treasure its presence on you, then no amount of comment could make you regret having it. There is a need for you to have your design done by a tattoo artist whom you know well. Henna tattoos are very intricate and may take a long time to finish. There are some artists who would intentionally work slowly to augment their labor cost.

Wedding Mehndi Henna Tattoos On Hand

The different words for henna in ancient languages imply that it had more than one point of discovery and origin, as well as different pathways of daily and ceremonial use. Henna has been used to adorn young women's bodies as part of social and holiday celebrations since the late Bronze Age in the eastern Mediterranean. The earliest text mentioning henna in the context of marriage and fertility celebrations comes from the Ugaritic legend of Baal and Anath, which has references to women marking themselves with henna in preparation to meet their husbands, and Anath adorning herself with henna to celebrate a victory over the enemies of Baal. Wall paintings excavated at Akrotiri (dating prior to the eruption of Thera in 1680 BCE) show women with markings consistent with henna on their nails, palms and soles, in a tableau consistent with the henna bridal description from Ugarit. Many statuettes of young women dating between 1500 and 500 BCE along the Mediterranean coastline have raised hands with markings consistent with henna. This early connection between young, fertile women and henna seems to be the origin of the Night of the Henna, which is now celebrated worldwide.
