Henna tattoos, or Mehndi, originated in South Asia and North Africa as temporary body art using a paste made from the henna plant. Key features include:
Intricate Detailing: Fine lines create floral motifs, mandalas, paisleys, and vine patterns that interlace across skin.
Organic Flow: Designs often start at the wrist or fingertips, extending in symmetrical or flowing arrangements that follow natural contours.
Single-Color Palette: A rich brown hue from the henna paste, with shading achieved through dotwork or line density rather than color variation.
Cultural Symbolism: Commonly applied for weddings and festivals, motifs symbolize joy, beauty, and spiritual protection.
This design showcases a detailed mandala on the back of the hand, with trailing vines and paisley elements flowing toward the wrist and fingers, exemplifying the elegance and precision of traditional henna artistry. 0 reply
