About Custom & Portrait Henna
Henna, My Kind of Doodling
For me, henna is like doodling on skin. I get lost in those tiny details, whether it’s a quick, simple design or a big, intricate one. Watching the stain darken naturally is always a little thrill.
Tell Your Story, Your Way
I love making henna that’s actually about you - not just the usual patterns. If you want your favorite symbol, a little portrait, or even an odd object that means something to you, I’m all for it. I once did a person on a swing on someone’s hand for her terrace party - she said it looked just like her old backyard. That’s the kind of personalized henna illustration I get excited about.
- Spiritual stuff like lotus or diya (lamp)
- Figurative bits like peacocks or a candle
- Anything quirky or close to you
Faith & Portraits
A lot of my unique story henna design ideas come from my faith. Doing devotional henna art is actually calming - almost like meditation for me. What I enjoy most is drawing deity portraits, like Lord Krishna for Janmashtami, or detailed figures like Gaura Hari. Sometimes these are tiny, sometimes they go all the way up your forearm.
How It Works
If you’ve got a reference photo or even a rough idea, bring it along. We’ll figure it out together till it feels right on your skin. I care most about making sure you walk out with a custom portrait mehndi that feels like you, not just something pretty.
The best bit? When you see the final dark, rich stain and it’s exactly what you wanted.

My Story
Hey, I’m Kavya. Mehendi isn’t just work for me - it’s like doodling stories on skin. Sometimes it’s Krishna’s face, sometimes just a flower, sometimes a wild idea someone brings. I get lost in the lines, especially when it’s for Janmashtami or something close to my faith. Whether it’s a tiny tattoo or big bridal mehendi, I put my heart in it. If I’m not drawing, I’m probably strumming my guitar.
