Zanzibar Henna Designs​

Henna tattoos reflect an ancient and beautiful practice of body art. Originally from India also referred to as mehndi, henna refers to the tradition of body painting with a paste made from the powdered, dried leaves of the henna plant. Typically done on the hands and feet, henna appears to have roots in various parts of the world but is perhaps best known for its significance as a pre-wedding staple throughout Zanzibar & India where it is also an important part of many festivals and ceremonies.


Henna had been used in Zanzibar, Egypt, Africa, India and the Middle East for over 5,000 years. Henna designs are often intricate and symbolic, originating from a single point, to create a pattern representing the “Supreme Reality.”


Our professional artists will draw a wide range of flowing designs emanating from that point, including geometric shapes, mandalas, animals, plants and much more all depending on your preference.
