~..::Introduction::..~

Rabia Zamir a.k.a. Rabby , is a self-taught henna artist. 

Henna is defined as the powdered leaves of a tropical shrub, used as a dye to color the hair and decorate the body.
Lawsonia inermis, also known as hina, the henna tree, the mignonette tree, and the Egyptian privet.

The name henna also refers to the dye prepared from the plant and the art of temporary tattooing based on those dyes (see also Mehndi). Henna has been used since antiquity to dye skin, hair, and fingernails, as well as fabrics including silk, wool, and leather. The name is used in other skin and hair dyes, such as black henna and neutral henna, neither of which is derived from the henna plant.

Historically, henna was used for cosmetic purposes in Ancient Egypt, as well as other parts of North Africa, the Horn of Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, the Near East and South Asia. It was also popular among women in Iberia and elsewhere in Europe during the 19th-century. Bridal henna nights remain an important custom in many of these areas, particularly among traditional families. (-Wikipedia)

Today henna, for many it is a fashion statement while for others it defines a memorable occasion such as a Weddings, Eid, Chand-raat, Baisakhi etc.. or just simply life little pleasures :) 

Whatever the occasion may be, a henna tattoo is great for those who enjoy natural products and want to enjoy a temporary yet lasting traditional design. And if you haven't already tried it before, feel free to try one and surely you'll enjoy the experience. For those unfamiliar with the aroma and texture, shall I describe a lot of patience is needed in order to let the design set dry and the scent of the paste is usually earthy and once dried up, your skin basically absorbs the moisture and a extraordinary stain appears on your skin! The results are totally worth the wait!

Typically henna tattoos consist of loops, flowers, vines, leaves and concentric/geometric designs. Today of course the designs have grown and expanded with multiple variations from coast to coast. You may find a lot more contemporary designs as well, or some may even prefer to have something written on their arm...maybe your name... or maybe a name of someone special written in a foreign language?  ;) Whatever the design may be, there's always something that better describes your personality and the henna stain will definitely leave you in aww!

See for yourself, try it and experience the fun of a henna tattoo.
