Henna Tattoo Photo #24602

The original practice uses a plant-based paste that stains the skin for one to three weeks, but many people want the patterns to last forever. Turning temporary henna into a permanent tattoo requires an artist who understands the tight spacing, symmetry, and flow that make mehndi patterns beautiful.

Sketch-style tattoos replicate the look of pencil or pen drawings, often including visible construction lines and loose strokes. The intentionally unfinished quality gives the design an artistic, work-in-progress feel.

The inner arm offers a soft, relatively flat surface that suits detailed and sensitive designs. It's a semi-private placement, visible only when the arm is turned or raised.
