Bridal Henna Palms - Two Artists at work

The artists of Spirit Vision Henna are practicing Bridal Henna for the 2010 season.

This photo shows the work of two artists working together to create a wedding henna.

Each has a slightly different style, but you can see that the patterns are complimentary, and accomplished in 45 minutes for both hands.

We will continue to work to improve so that we may provide intricate full bridal tattoo in a timely manner.

Please contact Ann George at 904•993•7466 for more information about henna tattoo for wedding parties, and other events.

It's Henna Tattoo Time! Saturday 3.27.10 at The Midnight Sun

Spirit Vision Henna in Five Points is happy to announce that the weather is finally warm enough to make hanna paste. In fact, a lovely mixture is sitting in the afternoon sun, the dye has released, and everyone can enjoy fragrant, rich color in their first henna tattoo of the season.

Ann George and the artists of Spirit Vision Henna will offer tattoo at 1055 Park Street, in The Midnight Sun on Saturday 3.27.10. Please come by after 1PM to browse pattern books and pick your design. If this is your first henna experience.... please visit the FAQ page for answers to all your first time questions.

We specialize in traditional henna tattoo, but are available for special requests. You are welcome to call 904-993-7466 to schedule an appointment if you like. Henna will be offered Saturday on a first come, first served basis. Henna tattoo prices start at $15. The size and style of tattoo you choose determines the price.

As the weather warms up, henna may also be offered on Fridays by appointment. It takes at least 24 hours to create a good henna paste, so last minute henna requests are hard to fill. Please call ahead for henna on Fridays, or other days of the week.

If you would like to book Spirit Vision Henna for a private party, our artists are available to come to you. This year, we are pleased to announce that Arvid Smith, an accomplished sitar player, will be available to play for you if you would like to provide live music for your henna gathering.

Please note the image above is of henna paste on the skin... so the tattoo appears black. We do not offer black henna tattoo.. there is no such thing. We offer first quality henna paste made with Jamila henna powder, essential oils and traditional herbs and spices. The finished color will be some shade of reddish brown, or as dark as black cherry red if applied to the palms and properly cared for.

Henna tattoo will not look like inkwork.  Henna, or mehandi, is it's own unique art form, and our artists have studied and practiced to provide you a traditional henna experience.

After care information is online at Spirit Vision Henna. We hope you enjoy your visit to the site.

NEW! Moroccan Syringe Henna Applicators

We had many requests for this applicator and finally found a source in Morocco for these syringes. Henna is applied all over Morocco using a syringe tool. When used with Moroccan henna, you can drape strait lines with ease. They are also easy on the hands, for those who get hand cramps from cones.

NEW! Henna Sahara Tazarine

Just in direct from Morocco is Henna Sahara Tazarine. This brand is not new to the henna world, but is very hard to find outside of Morocco fresh. We are very excited to introduce this powder into our product line. The powder is very finely sifted, it mixes easily, it is stringy and easy to drape, and the dye release is a quick 6 hours (as with most Moroccan Henna Powders).

The stain result is black berry on the palms, and red/brown on the hands.
