Traditional Henna Patterns & Tips for a Great Tattoo

Happy Henna Season to every one! Featured today is a photo of a traditional style henna tattoo by Ann George for the back of the hand. Henna works best on the palms, back of the hands and on the feet.

It does not work as well on the stomach, the back, nor the chest. If you want a temporary tattoo for that part of your body, you are better off buying a decal tattoo. There are lots of nice new Indian design decals for lades  for sale at The Midnight Sun (they are on the counter.)

Also, if you want henna in these places, please be sure to dress in clothing that will not disturb the henna, and be prepared to adjust your day so that the henna may remain on your skin for at least three hours.

For gentlemen, the henna takes best on the inner wrist. I am able to do henna on your upper arms, but please be sure to shave several days ahead of time. It is unlikely that henna will give good color on the chest.

The price of a henna tattoo starts at $15 and fees increase from that point. For example, the tattoo in the photo cost $30.00.  I use only the finest, freshest henna powder mixing the paste myself each week to ensure you get the best color possible.

I have just purchased some organic rajasthani henna, long known for giving deep red color on the palms and look forward to trying that out this weekend. I will offer henna tattoo at the Midnight Sun Friday and Saturday if all goes well and weather permits. 


Please call for more information, or to schedule an appointment. 904-993-7466. (*Please note this is a photo of henna paste on the skin. If you are new to henna, I strongly encourage you to visit my FAQ page. Answers to most commonly asked questions are there.

Cara Menghilangkan Tattoo Dengan Laser

Banyak alasan kenapa seseorang memilih untuk menghilangkan tattoo tubuh yang sudah dibuat, bisa karena sudah bosan dengan gambar tersebut, alasan religius atau karena faktor lainnya.

Penghilangan tattoo dengan prosedur laser biasanya akan membutuhkan beberapa kali kunjungan, dengan setiap kunjungan hanya membutuhkan waktu beberapa menit. Anestesi dapat diperlukan atau juga tidak, tergantung dari kebutuhannya.

Cara penghilangan tattoo dengan sinar laser adalah dengan mengirim sinar gelombang pendek dari cahaya melalui lapisan paling atas dari kulit, dimana energi laser tersebut diarahkan pada pigmen yang terdapat pada tattoo sehingga memecah pigmen tersebut untuk kemudian akan dikeluarkan oleh sistem kekebalan tubuh.

Pada saat proses pelaseran tersebut, mungkin akan terasa sama tidak nyamannya seperti saat pembuatan tattoo tubuh. Proses perawatan luka akibat laser tersebut juga akan sama seperti setelah selesai pembuatan tattoo. Tetapi biasanya, biaya yang dikeluarkan untuk proses penghilangan tattoo akan menjadi lebih mahal bila dibandingkan dengan saat pembuatan tattoo. Hal ini karena proses penghilangan tattoo tubuh tersebut biasanya akan membutuhkan beberapa kali kunjungan hingga hilang sepenuhnya.

Meskipun tattoo termasuk dalam seni untuk menghias tubuh, tetapi karena sifatnya yang permanen maka sebaiknya pikirkan masak-masak sebelum ingin membuat tattoo tubuh.

Dan bila sudah mantap ingin membuat tato tubuh, sebaiknya pilih studio tattoo profesional dengan peralatan yang aman & hygienis, serta selalu meminta seniman tato agar menggunakan sarung tangan & jarum baru untuk sekali pakai untuk digunakan saat membuat tattoo tubuh.

It's Henna Time Again! Spirit Vision Henna is back at The Midnight Sun

Do you love henna tattoo? Have you been waiting all winter long for the weather to break? Well, the wait is over.

I am happy to say I just made up a very lovely paste, letting it rest in the sun so that the dye would happily release from the mix of henna powder, henna tea & lemon juice.

Essential oils and some tamarind were added, the paste rested another day in balmy sunshine, and I now have a cone of henna to give deep stains on the hands and feet.

For those new to henna, it is a heat-activated body dye, and thus we wait for the warmer weather. The longer you leave your henna paste on the skin, and the warmer the weather, the darker your finished color will be.

I use quality henna powder from reliable suppliers, and the finest essential oils... but you must come prepared as well. Please do not come for henna wearing lotion or sun screen as this will prevent the dye from staining your skin a deep color.

I am hoping you will leave the paste on your skin for at least three hours, so if you want henna on your feet... wear the tiniest flip flops possible. ( Some want to brave 5 Points bare foot, but I don't think this is the best idea. )

Henna tattoo designs start at $15 and go up from there. I bring a good selection of pattern books, and you are welcome to look through the many images posted on this blog, or on my henna site.

I have been doing henna tattoo for over ten years now, all henna is free hand, and I am happy to create a unique design that fits your style and your budget. It is best to call ahead for henna if you want a tattoo during the week. I am not always available on short notice, so best to plan ahead.

I will be offering henna tattoo at The Midnight Sun, 1055 Park Street, Jacksonville, Florida 32205 this Saturday, most probably between 1 and 4 PM. Please call 904-993-7466 for more information if need be.
