Simple henna pattern for the back of the hand.

Here is a quick & easy henna tattoo.
This simple design takes about 5 minutes to apply.

Notice the movement of the pattern from wrist to outer finger. This style flatters the hand and enhances the ring.

Lacy henna tattoo from KooKoo Bean

Here is a photo of an original henna tattoo design. The customer wanted something lacy and flowing, similary to the design she got in India while on vacation.

This design covers the wrist & hand, and is photographed on a beautiful white metal table, just one of the many imported treasures from KooKoo bean.

As it is now the end of henna season here in Jacksonville, I will only be available for henna tattoo for parties and events until next summer! Call the studio at 904-993-7466 for more information.

Wishing you joy,

Ann George

Modernised Tradition of Tattoo

Modern Reawakening of the tradition of Tattoo

Tattoos have experienced resurgence in popularity in many parts of the world, particularly in North America, Japan, and Europe. The growth in tattoo culture has seen an influx of new artists into the industry, many of whom have technical and fine arts training. Coupled with dvancements in tattoo pigments and the ongoing refinement of the equipment used for tattooing, this has led to an improvement in the quality of tattoos being produced.

During the 2000s, the presence of tattoos became evident within pop culture, inspiring television shows such as A&E's Inked and TLC's Miami Ink and LA Ink. The decoration of blues singer Janis Joplin with a wristlet and a small heart on her left breast, by the San Francisco tattoo artist Lyle Tuttle, is taken as a seminal moment in the popular acceptance of tattoos as art. As seen in the 2007 movie Eastern Promises, body art again features heavily, showcasing the ink-embroidered torso of a Russian mobster. Tattoos are generally considered an important part of the culture of the Russian mafia.

In many traditional cultures tattooing has also enjoyed resurgence, partially in deference to cultural heritage. Historically, a decline in traditional tribal tattooing in Europe occurred with the spread of Christianity. However, some Christian groups, such as the Knights of St. John of Malta, sported tattoos to show their allegiance. A decline often occurred in other cultures following European efforts to convert aboriginal and indigenous people to Western religious and cultural practices that held tattooing to be a "pagan" or "heathen" activity. Within some traditional indigenous cultures, tattooing takes place within the context of a rite of passage between adolescence and adulthood.
