Henna Tattoo Photo #24605

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.

Originating from centuries-old cultural practices, tribal designs carry symbolic weight through their patterns and placement. Modern tribal tattoos adapt these traditional motifs into contemporary compositions that honor the style's heritage.

Calf tattoos benefit from a muscular canvas that gives designs depth and presence. The flat rear surface works well for portraits and detailed work, while wrapping designs follow the leg's natural shape.
