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.

Illustrative tattoos combine elements of traditional illustration with tattooing techniques, blending detailed linework with expressive shading. The style bridges the gap between fine art and body art.

Ankle tattoos are subtle and easy to conceal with socks or footwear. The small canvas works best with compact designs, bands, or wrapping patterns that follow the joint's shape.
