Henna Tattoo This Friday - 7/12/13 - at The Midnight Sun.

Spirit Vision Henna Tattoo will offer all styles of henna body art for you this Friday, 7/12/13, at The Midnight Sun located at 1055 Park Street in Riverside. Walk-ins are welcome! Artists should be on site @ 2PM.

Pictured here is a quick, traditional henna tattoo for a Mom on the go! Keeping the paste off the wrist ensures that the design will be easy to wear throughout the day.

There is plenty of space around her wedding ring, so no worries there, and the vine pattern moves easily with the fingers.

A little spritz of lemon/sugar ensures that this paste will stay in place and give a nice finished color.

One of the secrets of a successful henna paste is to add herbs and spices that cause the paste to adhere to the skin. I have found that fenugreek is a great addition to help make henna paste easy to work with. Fenugreek also makes it easy to draw nice long lines that don't break.

Of course I am using a combination of three very fine henna powders from the Henna Sooq to ensure you get the best color possible.

Designs start at $15 and go up from there. As always there are plenty of pattern books to choose from, our you can visit my portfolio on line at my website - Spirit Vision Henna. Feel welcome to call to for more information. Th 

I want henna tattoo today!! Why can't I get one?

Spirit Vision Henna is hoping for Spring! For warm, dry, sunny weather...... for henna weather to happen.

Thanks to all who are calling to make appointments for henna tattoo. I am so sorry that I have not been able to accommodate you.

Henna is a heat activated body art. The best paste happens when all the ingredients combined are allowed to rest in warm weather for a day or two. The heat releases the dye from the crushed henna leaves and this is how we get a good paste.

The photo on the right is a picture of the henna paste on the skin. This is not how your finished henna will look, but is a photo of the process.

If you notice, the shading technique was used so that this design when finished will have very bold lines as well as shaded areas.

To get deep rich henna tattoo, it is best to apply the paste when the weather is warm.... 75 degrees at the very least, and 80+ is best. It is also easier to get a good outcome when the weather is dry. (This way, you won't get rain on your henna, and the paste won't smudge or be damaged by water droplets.)

I usually pick one day a week to offer henna, and is seems this year, 2013, henna will happen on Saturdays at The Midnight Sun, 1055 Park Street, Jacksonville, Florida 32204 - weather permitting. Please call 904-993-7466 to schedule your henna appointment.

I have not made up any paste for this Saturday, but see that Wednesday of next week looks like a good day to make the paste. For more information on the paste, ingredients and the henna process, please visit my page about henna powder.

If you scroll down the page a bit, you will see some of the ingredients used. It is the combination of these ingredients, plus the application of a lemon sugar glaze, and good after care by the customer that results in a finished henna tattoo like the one you see pictured at left.

You will notice the color is darker at the fingertips and and fades to brown as you get near the wrist. This is completely natural. This is the quality of color I hope to offer you every time.

To be able to offer this kind of color, I prepare the paste two days ahead. This is why I prefer to do henna by appointment, or on the same day each work.

This is photo of "bridal quality" henna. I have plenty of design books to choose from, or you may have a freehand henna design like the one you see here.
