Fashion and traditional tattooing: Henna, a beauty ally

With henna, a wide variety of designs

In the wake of religious festivals or ceremonies such as weddings, engagements and births, Muslim women and girls make themselves beautiful with these personalized designs on their hands and feet. Traditional henna tattooing is an age-old art passed down from generation to generation. "I feel beautiful and natural with these designs. They give me back my femininity, and my husband appreciates it when I tattoo myself with henna", assures housewife Zeinab MAHAMAD.
