Henna Tattoo Traditions
Henna tattoos, also known as “mehndi,” originated in India and are a beloved tradition. These temporary tattoos are made using a paste from the powdered leaves of the henna plant. Women wear them during special occasions like weddings and festivals as symbols of beauty, joy, and celebration.
Creating these intricate designs requires strict rules: the paste must be freshly prepared, applied on clean skin, and left to dry for hours to achieve a deep, lasting stain. The artistry and cultural significance make henna tattoos a fascinating and beautiful tradition.
