Post this taskWhat to know about henna and tattoo artists
Henna is its own craft and its own set of facts. Natural henna is a plant paste. It goes on green-brown, it has to sit and dry for a couple of hours, and when it comes away it leaves an orange stain that darkens to a deep reddish-brown over the following day or two before fading across one to three weeks. It is never black in the cone and it is never instant. That matters, because black henna is a genuine safety problem rather than a style: cones sold that way commonly contain p-phenylenediamine, a hair-dye chemical that is not meant for direct application to skin. It causes chemical burns and blistering, it can scar permanently, and it can leave a lifelong sensitivity that turns an ordinary box of hair dye into an emergency. If it is black in the cone, or promised black within the hour, do not let it near you or a child. Ask what is in it and whether it was mixed fresh.
What to send, and one thing worth commissioning that people rarely think of. For henna: reference photographs, how far up the arm, one hand or both, whether feet are included, how many people in total, the date, the venue and the hour everyone has to be finished. Then remember the physics — the paste needs hours to develop and it stains fabric, car seats and phone screens while it is wet, so it cannot be the last thing before you get dressed. For a real tattoo, the genuinely useful thing to hire for here is the artwork: a custom design drawn to your brief at the size and placement you want, which you then take to an inspected studio to have applied. Nothing touches skin, so nothing is regulated, and it is the step most people rush.

What to ask, and what to send
- Reference photographs, and how far up the arm the design goes
- How many people, and the hour everyone must be finished by
- For henna, what is in the cone and whether it was mixed fresh
- For anything that breaks the skin, the address of the premises
- Any known allergy, especially a reaction to hair dye
Henna needs hours to develop and stains fabric and car seats while it is wet, so it cannot be the last thing before you get dressed.

Questions
Frequently asked
Answers to what people actually search for.
How long does henna last?
One to three weeks, depending where it is and how often that skin gets washed. The stain appears orange within hours of the paste coming off and darkens to reddish-brown over a day or two. Palms and soles hold it longest; anything on a hand you wash constantly fades first.
What is black henna and why is it a problem?
A cone sold as black henna usually contains PPD, a hair-dye chemical that is not meant for direct application to skin. It can cause chemical burns, blistering and permanent scarring, and can leave a lifelong sensitivity. Natural henna is never black in the cone and never instant.
How far ahead should I book bridal henna?
Months, for anything in wedding season or around Eid, Diwali or Karva Chauth. Bridal work is hours of detail over both hands and often the feet, done the day or evening before, and the artists who do it well hold those dates early. Party henna is easier to arrange late.
Can someone design a tattoo for me without applying it?
Yes, and it is the most useful thing to commission here. A custom design drawn to your brief, at the size and placement you want, is artwork rather than a procedure — nothing touches skin — and you take the finished drawing to an inspected studio to have it applied.
