Easy Henna Pattern - fine lines possible with Jamila

Here is a photo of a henna design for one of the talented stylists at BLU salon. This free hand design is based in part on her selection of a style of tattoo from one of the many design books I bring to work. It is also created to compliment the shape of her hand.

I began to draw the pattern just above the wrist making a shell outline that is thicker on one side than the other. That pattern is filled with very fine lines. Next, I drew a curving line .. and while it may be hard to see at first.. if you look closely, you will see it. It is duplicated.. so there seems to be a ribbon.. filled again with very fine lines. The flower in the center of the hand was an important design component for this client. As well, since she works with her hands every day.. we tried to keep the design off the fingers.

It didn't take long at all to create this mehndi. The silky smooth (never needs sifting) Jamila henna makes a great paste every time. Click the title of this post to purchase fresh 2006 henna powder.

Shamrock Tattoos

The name shamrock is an English corruption of the Gaelic word for "little clover", seamaróg. The pronunciation of the Gaelic term is close to the way the English word shamrock is pronounced.

Lizards! Tribal style henna tattoo

I would love to give credit where credit is due .. and this great lizard pattern is not my own design.
It is incredibly popular!! A great tribal style design.

I really like the way its riding along the back of this lovely girl... so.. if you drew this pattern, my hat is off to you. If you know who did.. please post a comment on the blog so we can give a link to the artist.

This photo was taken at BLU.. a great salon in Historic Five Points, Riverside, Jacksonville.. where you can get henna -ed every Saturday. It's best to call for an appointment if you want a complex design. You can reach Ann George at 904-993.7466.

Stay tuned.. I have photos of the June 2006 Jamila henna coming soon.

Celebrating Pregnancy with a Henna Tattoo for the Belly

It is always an honor & a pleasure to be invited to do henna in celebration of the birth of a child.

The couple who came for mehndi had a very clear idea of what they wanted... and they also brought photos!

The father of the baby took lots of pictures as the henna was being applied... and I was able to take this one of the final result.

As always, i spoke with the mother before I made the paste to be sure she did not have any allergies to any of the ingredients in the henna paste.

Fine Line Henna Palms at BLU - Jacksonville Tattoo

I am so happy to have just received my first shipment of Jamila Henna. This is fresh, fresh henna from the June harvest.. and so finely ground that I just open the box.. and mix the powder right up.
This very finely ground henna makes the most remarkably smooth paste making it easy to quickly accomplish designs that would take longer with a paste of variable consistancy.
Look at this photo of a traditional Indian pattern.. note the fine criss cross lines on the fingers. This tattoo was done using the traditional henna cone, not a squeeze bottle or a cone with a special metal tip.

Tattoo for Women of Color - Henna Tattoo

Here is a photo of a finished Yin/Yang symbol in Henna. I am so grateful my client came back by the salon to let me take a photo of her finished design.

This tattoo is a week old. We used fresh henna to create the darker portion of the Yin/Yang symbol, and the client's lovely "pecan" skin for the lighter side. Many times women of color in my city wonder if the henna will stain their skin... and of course it will.. but it is very good to be able to put a photo on line.

Visit again for more tattoos for the ankle.

Simple Ankle Tattoo Pattern - Henna Tattoo Jacksonville

Here is a simple ankle tattoo. I did this design using a wide flow of paste so that the client would get good color.

It is important to ask your clients if they are wearing body lotion.. or sun tan oil.. before you start a design. These products can interfere with the final result. I hope you enjoy this photo. Visit my website for more information, or stop by the shop on Saturdays.

Wishing you joy,

Ann George

Dolphin Tattoos

Dolphin tattoos are hot and it is easy to see why when you look at the powerful symbolism behind this great tattoo design. Who knows maybe a dolphin tattoo is the perfect design for you.

Dolphin Tattoo Symbolism Each culture and person of course will assign their own symbolism and significance to this beautiful creature. Throughout history and in many ancient cultures the dolphin was seen as a guide and an animal that would bring tremendous amounts of good luck to a person.

Wolf Tattoo Designs

By their very nature, wolves are unpredictable creatures that have been widely used in folklore tales and horror flicks throughout time. At the same time, wolves are beautiful creatures with majestic eyes and are subject to many of the most popular photographs and artist renderings. It is the wolf's mysterious nature, their beauty and the unpredictability that makes them ideal for tattoo lovers.

Wolf Tattoo Designs

Wolf Tattoos Meaning

Wolf tattoos can symbolize many things, including the very characteristics that a wolf has. Beauty, unpredictability and mystery may be among the personal traits that an individual may feel that they share with one of the world's most beautiful and wild creatures. Perhaps a wolf tattoo would be desired by someone who had a love for the animal, who was a fan of ancient folklore or the mystery surrounding them or by anyone who has respect for these rare creatures.

Wolf Tattoo Designs

Wolf Tattoo Designs

Wolf tattoos can either be designed as very dainty, making them ideal for a female, or a larger design customized for a man. Because of their versatility, a wolf tattoo can be placed almost anywhere on the body, including the arm, shoulder, neck, chest, back, ankle, etc.

In addition to browsing through variations of a wolf tattoo at the local tattoo parlor, which anyone can do, many individuals opt for getting a little more creative when it comes to their tattoo. Nobody wants the same cookie cutter design as everyone else, which is why some opt for researching real life photos of wolves in order to help them select their favorite images to be recreated in the form of a wolf tattoo. Once they have selected the perfect picture, individuals can often take that photo to their tattoo artist and request that it be used as the inspiration for their new wolf tattoos.

Wolf Tattoo Designs

Before the purchase or application of a wolf tattoo, an individual should make sure that the artist is properly trained and licensed to produce a safe and quality tattoo. Any tattoo, including a wolf tattoo, is not to be applied by an amateur or anyone who has not been properly trained in the handling and sterilization of tattoo equipment. If you have any questions about the safety of your tattoo, be sure to ask the artist who applies it. He/she will bandage the site of the tattoo and provide you with instructions on how to avoid infection and general care for the site until it has completely healed.

Sexy Wings Tattoo in Henna

I was really hoping for a change to do a sexy, unique back piece in henna.. and I am very happy to post this picture.


If you think henna tattoo is limited to hands and feet.. think again!

It really can be applied almost anywhere, and with time & attention to detail, good powder & lots of lemon sugar ( ok.. and maybe a blow dryer) you can get good color.

I look forward to seeing the finished color of this tattoo... I am hoping for a rich dark brown!

All best wishes,

Ann George

Henna Tattoo from a Bridal Shower - Ankle Bangle

I was very happy to be invited to do henna tattoo for guests at an intimate bridal shower this weekend.
The decorations were fabulous! The mood was so lovely.. and as there were only a few guests present, everyone was able to choose an intricate henna design if they wanted one.
Of course, some simple designs are just as lovely as the more intricate ones.
However, I was very happy to be able to do this bold henna tattoo in an anklet cuff style.
What I invite you to notice is that the bold style of this design is a perfect completment to the clients ankle.
She was delighted... and I was happy to offer this modified traditional design.
For events where it is reasonable to expect that most people will not choose to have henna applied to the hands I often make the paste more liquid.. giving it the greatest opportunity to stain the skin.
I was also very happy to have my beautiful assistant on hand to apply lemon sugar to all the designs as they were drying.
This additional service really seemed to help the guests feel more pampered!

If you live in North East Florida an would like to hostess a henna party, please feel welcome to contact the Studio at (904) 993-7466.

Bridal Henna Tattoo for the palms of the hands.

Sometimes a picture just speaks for itself.

Here are the palms of a happy bride just 24 hours after the past was removed.

The henna powder used here was from the souks of Dubai. (Yes, this is the henna powder used in all henna kits!)

The color was even darker on her wedding day.

Tribal Sun Henna Tattoo for back of hand!

I have one client that really loves sun tattoos.

This tribal sun design happened on a Saturday afternoon at KooKoo Bean Exotic Imports in Jacksonville, Florida.

More tribal henna will be showing up soon.

Henna Tattoo for the Foot - Bridal Style

Here is an example of a bridal style foot tattoo. This is a fairly traditional design.. and one that was fun & easy to do.

Of course, the most important part of successful henna tattoo is that the client is satisfied! In this case, I am happy to say that Miss Linda very much liked her mehndi.

I also feel that it is important to create a tattoo that "fits" not only the personality of the client, but also suits the part of the body that I am working with.

Come visit again as I have lots more photos to upload.

Henna Tattoo for Samadhi Belly Dancer

I am always happy to have the chance to tattoo the belly, and I must thank all the tribal dancers of the Samadhi Dance troupe for supporting the art of henna tattoo here in Jacksonville, Florida!

Today I am posting pics of a wrap around belly tattoo. The first image is the "tease" front of the design. The tattoo actually began with an open lotus blossom on the lower back (scroll down). The dancer knew she wanted that. The challenge then became to create a wrap around pattern that would be bold, visible at a distance, and compatible with the lotus.

As you can see, the leaf pattern under the lotus was expanded and wrapped around to "vine" onto the belly. Hopefully I will be able to upload a picture of the finished color sometime soon.

The next posts should be of test results for various henna suppliers who have sent samples to the Studio. I am always looking for great henna powder, and to date.. the best sample tested for easy of use, great texture & good color is the Jamila powder. Test results are on the blog!
