Creative Body Art and Colored Henna Designs
Forget traditional stains. I use safe, vibrant colors to create temporary body art that’s perfect for fashion shoots, parties, or simply matching your favorite outfit.

This is the beautiful stain from a colored henna design. It's an ideal solution for clients who may be allergic to the essential oils in natural henna, allowing them to enjoy intricate designs without any irritation.

About this collection
The colored henna I use lasts 3-5 days and is completely safe for those with essential oil sensitivities, so you can enjoy the art without the irritation. Whether you want a bold 'blouse henna' pattern for a shoot or a unique tattoo effect for a party, I handle the prep to ensure the colors pop and the skin remains comfortable.
Beyond Tradition
Sometimes you want something that stands out. While natural henna is beautiful, it doesn’t always fit the vibe of a modern photoshoot or a quick party look. That is where colored henna comes in. It offers an immediate, vibrant finish that pairs perfectly with dramatic makeup and bold outfits.
Why Clients Choose Colored Henna
- Safety First: If you have allergies to the essential oils (like Nilgiri) used to darken natural henna, colored henna is a reliable, skin-safe alternative.
- Versatility: From intricate floral neck designs to fun patterns like mermaid scales on the back, this medium allows for artistic freedom that traditional paste simply cannot replicate.
- The 'Temporary' Advantage: Because these designs last 3-5 days, they are ideal for fashion portfolios, events, or if you just want to test out a look before committing to something permanent.
My Process
Every project is different. When we work together, I take the time to understand the look you are going for. I only use commercial, skin-tested instant cones to ensure the colors are vivid and, most importantly, safe for your skin. For larger body art projects—like the ones you see in my gallery—I perform a patch test beforehand to ensure we are good to go. If you are planning for a specific event or shoot in Bangalore, let me know the outfit details, and we can plan a design that complements your style.
