Henna Tattoo in Jacksonville, Florida

The artist of Spirit Vision Henna has 18 years experience in this temporary body art. She is able to do traditional, tribal and other styles of henna tattoo. 


These are a few samples of the kinds of styles of henna art you can get every Saturday from 12:30 - 5:00 pm at Midnight Sun, 1055 Park Street, Jacksonville, Florida, 32204. 

Henna tattoo is not at all like ink. It is an herbal dye. Each artist will make her own special blend to give you the longest lasting stain possible 

Henna tattoo is a hot weather art form! When you get your henna, be sure to walk around and enjoy some sun. When you are warm, your pores open and the henna can penetrate the skin to stain it. 

The first pattern is an original design. It is a cuff and one finger style.... this is a very popular style this year and there are many samples on line on our Facebook Page.

The second pattern is that of another artist. My client brought it in from the web. in general, I prefer to do my own designs, and I am able to do art in this pattern style. 

The last is another original. Usually clients will look at photos of art I have done and pick a few they like. I will make a special design for them based on their style choices. 

It is very important that you do not have any body lotion or antibacterial soap on your skin when you come to get a design, the henna cannot penetrate that chemical, and you will not get a good outcome.
  
Many people think that these pictures show the final tattoo. In fact these are photos of the paste on the skin. 

The finished color is always an reddish color. If you take good care of your henna you may get a dark red, ruby red or black cherry red. 

It is up to you. The longer you leave the paste on the skin, the hotter you get, the deeper the paste will stain. 

It is important to read the aftercare tips on this blog so that you will have the best color. 

You can also see photos of henna on and off the skin on this blog. Prices start at $15 and go up. Some of these designs were $15 and one may have cost a bit more. 

I will be sure to work with your budget. If you find a very complex design then it  is best to make a private appointment. Walk-in henna day is a day for everyone to get a taste! I am able to complete a simple henna tattoo in 10 minutes. More complex patterns take longer...... but the Midnight Sun is full of wonderful imported treasures!! 

Do Henna Designs Mean Anything?

Here is a henna tattoo design that does have a meaning. It is a bride and groom in an embellished heart.

Although in this case, the tattoo is done as a small decorative jewel in the palm, it could easily be incorporated into the more extensive or elaborate Bridal Henna.

The images here are very traditional in that the man is wearing a head dress, the woman a nose ring that is often worn by Hindu brides.

The best color always happens in the palm of the hand, and if you have a bit of patience, and perhaps a friend who will drive the car, you too can enjoy the rich deep red color that comes from placing henna in the palm.

The color of love......... this is a photo of the paste, which appears black, on the skin. When the paste is removed, the finished color develops over the next 48 hours.

Stop by the Midnight Sun this Friday for some Henna!!!! It will be First Friday, but henna will be offered from 1PM  until....... Best to call for an appointment if you plan to come in the late afternoon.  

Henna Time!! Saturday 7/28/12 at The Midnight Sun

Fragrant, fresh and first class henna paste is almost ready for you. Rajasthani henna powder has been combined with my special henna tea, lemon juice, and various essential oils to give you a deep and long lasting henna tattoo. The paste is resting in the sun to ensure full dye release. It is almost ready!

I offer traditional henna tattoo. Please know that henna belongs on the hands, arms, feet and legs. I do NOT tattoo on the face, neck, upper back, lower back or upper arms as the paste does not give good color in these areas.

I invite you to visit the FAQ page of my site for more information. Tattoo prices start at $15 and increase depending intricacy or size of area to be covered. ( Cash only. )

Temporary body art lasts longer if you take good care of it and you will receive complete aftercare instructions from me. Many patterns are available at the shop, however, I am a free hand mehandi artist. I invite you to let me create a unique design that is flattering to you.

You will find me in the yoga room of The Midnight Sun, 1055 Park Street, Jacksonville, FL 32204 from 1 PM until 5 PM this Saturday. You are welcome to stop by and experience henna tattoo - "the color of love." Pictured here my henna paste on the palm. You will always get the best color when you tattoo here.

**Please note:
I have heard that there is some "bad henna" happening in town. Customers at various shops in Five Points have remarked that their henna ran, blurred, did not last and was a pale color. This is not my work.**

Great Fun at The Midnight Sun!!

I am so pleased to present a video of Ryan Sinclair (page right) drumming with a friend at The Sun!!
