Henna Tattoos for parties are popular for adults and teens. We recommend henna body art for ages 10+ because the natural henna paste needs to dry and stay in place for a period of time. Henna is applied free hand, resulting in a unique temporary tattoo for each guest. For younger kids and a faster option for larger crowds, we highly recommend airbrush tattoos. Our natural brown henna is safe, even for pregnant women!
We also take appointments for individual henna tattoos and henna body art at Painted You, Gallery & Studio at 12 Broadway in Milford, CT. Please call for an appointment.
Henna has been used in many cultures in Africa, India, and the Middle East to embellish the body for hundreds of years. In fact, studies on mummies dating back to 1200BC show henna was used to dye the hands and nails in Ancient Egpt.The henna plant is believed to bring love, health, protection, and good fortune. Natural henna is brown, and stains a orange, which deepens to an earthy brown. Henna normally lasts 1-2 weeks, depending on skin condition, length of time paste is kept on, and where the henna is applied.
