Art: Henna Tattoo Art
North Dale: 651-558-2329 Instructor: Amy Leinen
Looking for some cool body art without the permanence of a real tattoo? Then henna tattoos are exactly what you are looking for. Henna tattoo art originated in the Middle East, but is gaining popularity in the US. The artists create intricate designs on your skin-most often on your hands and feet-that will fade away in around a month…so it’s perfect for you folks that don’t want a tat forever. You will make your own supplies to take home.
