Carine Fabius introduced henna tattoos to the west coast in 1997 with the first henna studio in the United States. Her popular book, Mehndi, the art of henna body painting, was the first book published on the subject in the U.S. (Random House).

We’ve had flowers on our minds lately, here at Earth Henna, namely, desert flower vs. tropical flower. It occurred to us that henna tattoos and jagua tattoos are polar opposites when it comes to background and culture. The henna plant grows in desert regions throughout India, Africa, and the Middle East. Desert heat is dry, dry, dry …
