Ancient Indian Tradition: Latest Fashion Trend in the West

What has been an ancient Indian tradition is catching up in the West as a fashion trend. What we are talking about is Henna Tattoos. Henna tattoos are temporary tattoos that are created by using organic Henna.

They have been used in India for centuries, mainly as part of bridal makeup. Typically, they are applied on the hands; back and front, as well on the feet; on the top. They have a fiery orange-ish red color that is very appealing. At first, the color may be a bit darker and slowly it fades away entirely within a matter of few weeks. These tattoos are typically applied on the day before the occasion and left to dry for a few hours. The best thing about them is that they are easy to apply and entirely painless. Many intricate designs are made possible using henna tattoos.

Creative Body Art

Many artists are inspired to work with the human body as their subject and material nowadays. Nothing inspires man more than man itself and more and more artists are vying to go in this direction. The art pieces seen here have intricate drawing detailed on every body. The entire range of pictures has contrasting color schemes used with intricate detailing. Some pictures have a nature inspired base within them. Natural elements like water, earth and leaves have been incorporated on the bodies. Drawing out these designs on the body takes a long time and require a great deal of patience on both the model and the artist’s part. Some of the designs even have human parts drawn on them like the eyes drawn out on the hands of the model. The drawing and details on the artwork cannot be illustrated properly unless the camera captures it in the right angle and with the right lighting. Photography plays an important part here.
