In india per abbellire il proprio corpo usano i tatuaggi con l'hennè.Queste decorazioni si chiamano Mehndi. La tradizione vuole che sia applicato la giornata prima del matrimonio durante la cerimonia del mehndi, appunto, che è parte integrante delle nozze, qualunque sia l'appartenenza religiosa della sposa: è una specie di addio al nubilato..Mi ha sempre affascinato questa tradizione.. poi il tatuaggio non è permanente ..alcune settimane e va via.. ecco qui una delle mie rivisitazione fantasiose .. spero vi piaccia!!!
Mehndi is a form of temporary skin decoration using a paste created with henna. In the West, mehndi is commonly known as henna tattoo, although it is not actually a tattoo as only the surface of the skin is inked.
Mehndi is a popular form of body art in South Asia and resembles similar traditions of henna as body art found in North Africa, East Africa and the Middle East. There are many different names for mehndi across the languages of South Asia.

Mehndi is the application of Henna as a temporary form of skin decoration, in South Asia, the Middle East, North Africa and Somalia as well as expatriate communities from these areas. Mehndi decorations became fashionable in the West in the late 1990s, where they are sometimes called henna tattoos. Henna is typically applied during special occasions like weddings and festivals. It is usually drawn on the palms and feet, where the color will be darkest because the skin contains higher levels of keratin which binds temporarily to lawsone, the colorant of henna. Henna was used as a form of decoration mainly for brides.
I did this last week. I have this problem lately where the center of my palm doesn't get dark. I can't figure it out!

In India, as a part of Hindu and Sikh weddings, henna is applied during wedding ceremonies. Traditionally it is thought that the darker the henna on the bride's hand, the more intensely her husband will love her. It is an important part of many Hindu festivals (such as Karva Chauth and Diwali), as well as during Eid. It is a common practice among Indians, particularly elderly ones, to dye their hair using Henna.
This was at the south east Asian family event that happened in Vancouver on the weekend. I am too tired to do post work on it as I worked 13 hrs last night.
