Henna is a temporary tattoo applied with a sqeeze pen, the ink usually made out of roots. Used primarily in Indian and Nepal for wedding ceremonies. I was fortunate enough to be part of many weddings in Nepal including my own. I am american married to Nepali wife. Here are a few links to videos of HENNA being applied before the wedding. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsMtEi2rNgo another henna vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2K_SCX1Te0 enjoy.
I love henna tattoos. I'm heading to India in a few weeks and definitely plan on having one done while I'm there. I'd get my whole body done, but that might be a little weird.
where in india are heading? If you get a chance go to Varanasi, and you definately have to check out Nepal if you have the time . I think you will like it better than India's machoism and male shouvanist attitude! Regardless India is an amazing country and is were i study the best music on the plante, INDIAN CLASSICAL MUSIC. You may want to check out some concerts while there, they are unbeleiveable, I study tabla in India and nepal. Just wanted shout out.
at a drive for charity at my highschool i did henna tats i love them, and the history behind them is really neat as well but then again, im interested to learn about all types of body mod, temp or permanent
I'm going to be going to Rajasthan, Delhi and Agra. Unfortunately, I won't have time to get to Varanasi or Nepal, but I already have that planned for a future trip.
