If you’re looking for a little henna inspiration, you may just have found it. Despite its relatively minor role in western culture, think spring break, the art of henna tattooing has long been an important and celebrated tradition on the Arabian peninsula as well as in parts of India and South East Asia. Henna ink, derived from the henna plant, is used to create beautiful temporary designs that start off with bold dark lines before adopting a softer reddish brown hue. Whether you’re looking for a design idea for yourself or just enjoy the art form as a whole, you’ll no doubt find this collection of henna tattoos more than fascinating.
