Henna Tattoo Photo #24621

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.

Forearm tattoos benefit from a natural canvas that follows the arm's long shape. Designs can wrap around the arm or sit on the inner or outer surface, giving flexibility in how the tattoo is displayed.
