This picture was taken during Hari Raya Eve and my (best) friend and I were in a festive mood, so we decided to get our hennas done by a henna expert. Henna is very well known and is practiced by people mostly in India, Pakistan, Africa and the Middle East. Henna is a beautiful natural traditional type of body art and is commonly worn for special occasions like weddings and festive seasons. There are no restrictions on the kinds of designs that you should create with henna, it is all up your imagination and creativity. Usually the bigger/special the event that you are wearing your henna on, the more extensive your henna designs will be just so that it will stand out from regular henna designs, to make the event, weddings mostly, more remarkable. Nowadays, henna is also adapted by westerners for hippie music festivals such as Coachella or any other events. Henna is also temporary which makes it very convenient for those who are not comfortable about getting permanent tattoos and wants to decorate their body.
