Ancient History of Henna Tattoos:
Henna is the common name of a small plant (Lawsonia inermis), it’s original native range is Africa, Asia and the Middle East. For centuries, women in India and the Middle East have used Henna to tattoo their hands, feet and other parts of their body to enhance their beauty. It is also said that Henna heals the body as well as wards off evil spirits. Traditionally women of the Middle East (where Henna is called Mehndi) have used this art form to celebrate weddings and other special holidays. A young girl makes her transition to womanhood on “the night of the Henna”, which sometimes lasts up to 3 days. They would have Henna parties and play music to celebrate the occasion.
