Believe it or not, the practice of Mehndi (Henna Tattoo) started out as an answer to the need for air-conditioning in the desert. The Henna plant, whose botanical name is Lawsonia Inermis and which comes from the Loosestrife family, has several medicinal properties, chief among them its ability to cool down the human body. When the desert people of Rajasthan, Punjab, and Gujarat became aware of Hennas cooling properties, they dipped their hands and feet in a mud or paste made with the crushed leaves of the plant. Even when the mud was scraped off, they noticed, as long as the color remained visible, their body temperatures stayed low. Eventually some women grew tired of bright red palms and found that one large central dot in the palm of the hand had the same effect, while being more pleasing to the eye. Other, smaller dots were placed around the center dot, which gradually gave way to the idea of creating outright artistic designs. To that end, a thin instrument made of silver or ivory (in India) or wood (in Morocco), then most commonly used for applying kohl to the eyes, became the instrument of choice for Henna applications, and it is still in use in desert villages today. Only in the last decade or so have the popular Indian cone and Moroccan syringe, both of which are able to deposit the thinnest filaments of Henna onto the skin, come into play as modern counterparts of the simple stick... Henna Tattoos are temporary and will last about 1 to 3 weeks. Designs on the palm of your hands or the soles of your feet last the longest. Be aware! Black Henna is not a natural Henna. Henna may be used as a base, but there is a chemical called PPD (P-Phenylenediamine) added. This additive can cause a chemical burn and can leave a scar. This additive has also been known to enter the bloodstream and target the kidney and liver. WE DO NOT USE THIS BLACK HENNA! There is a black Henna on the market that does not contain PPD, but we have found the product to be inferior for doing tattoos. They last only a day or two and do not color evenly.
