In the past, temporary henna tattoos were only found in India, Pakistan, and Sudan. They were often seen at Indian weddings. The bride and the other women in the party would get together the night before the wedding and have their feet and hands decorated with the intricate reddish brown designs and patterns. This tradition is still practiced today for wedding ceremonies and other celebrations. But today, much has changed. Temporary henna tattoos have now been accepted by the Western world thanks to celebrities like Madonna, Gwen Stefani, and Prince. This form of body art can be seen regularly in magazines and music videos. Henna is made by grinding up the dried leaves of the henna plant into a powder. The powder is then mixed with a liquid like strong tea, hot water, or clove or eucalyptus oil to form a paste.
