Whether you are looking for some body art for purely decorative or cultural reasons, or want a temporary of a permanent signature on your skin, there are some inspirational artists offering Henna Designs and Tattoos in Manchester. For the permanent option where getting inked is a way of life, visiting a specialist studio is easy when you have so much information listed here on this beauty directory or on social media.

Find the ideal venue for what you want!

Whilst some salons who specialise in ink tattoos may also offer the temporary Henna tattoos, this is not always the case. Of course, clients should be aware that henna tattoos are not in fact tattoos in the purest sense, as no needles are involved which puncture the skin and they are not permanent. It is more usual to visit a professional Henna Artist Manchester based, for these henna creations. In fact, with so many cultures using henna in their own cultural style, it is customary to use traditional artists who are expert in their specific designs.

Such a wide range of designs on offer!

With the popularity of tattoos now prevalent, there are a huge number of experts who all have books of designs both figurative and geometric if you do not have specific ideas yourself of what you want. Instagram and other social media sites are awash with celebrities and individuals who are either tattoo addicts or have recently become converted to this art form and are happy to post images of their latest body decoration. The tattooists all have a style particular to themselves and you can find the one who suits your vibe by checking on the PamperTree listings and then browsing their Instagram accounts to ensure they are going to give you the perfect tat that is aligned to your style.

Choose the perfect style that suits you!

From the delicate line drawings which are very feminine in nature, to perhaps intricate portraits or small scale script, to the grand scale of body landscape, or the super realistic which make you question what you are seeing! They are so life like, but perhaps scaled differently, like large eyes which play with your mind and your comprehension. Some artists do draw their inspiration from traditional mehndi or henna traditional designs for their permanent tattoo works; some have perfected their art to levels that seem to transcend the tattooist’s needle as a medium and look more as if they are water colour works of art.

Choose a personalised piece of art!

Whether your tattoo is to be black and white or full colour you will want to find just the right artist to create your vision, after all, you are going to be wearing this for a long time. When choosing from amongst the tattoo shops Manchester offers, be guided by their specialties, the picturesque landscapes, the nature themed images, single line tattoos both tiny and large scale or intricate geometric designs. The limitations barely exist! The tattoo prices Manchester tattooists charge naturally reflect the work involved and indeed for the celebrity artists themselves, their reputation and absolute skill.

Henna is a hugely popular temporary option!

If you are not ready to commit to the permanence of the ink tattoo, there are skilled artists who offer a wealth of designs for a henna tattoo for both men and women. Your Henna artist in Manchester will deliver on beautiful designs, ones which will make a big impression with rich colour and lace-like intricacy. Some are clearly raised and these are achieved by the henna mixture, or paste, being applied by something akin to an icing bag, which is then piped onto the skin surface. Another technique used is drawing with a thin toothpick; the two effects depending on the artist themselves and their preferences and indeed the design to be achieved.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Henna Designs and Tattoos in Manchester

What is henna dye?

Henna is a semi-permanent dye that is prepared by processing the leaves of a tropical shrub - mignonette tree or henna tree. Henna is prepared in a powdered format by drying the leaves of the henna plant. At present, henna is used widely as a natural dye to colour hair as well as create body arts.  While creating henna designs and tattoos, henna penetrates only the top layers of the skin. The dye needs about 48 hours to make the stain darken properly. Also, the strain fades gradually over the next few weeks.

How do henna tattoos differ from real tattoos or ink tattoos?

The real tattoos or in tattoos are permanent bodyworks. An artist creates real tattoos by injecting ink or dye into the deeper layers of the skin. She uses needles to puncture the skin to facilitate injection of the ink or dye. But the henna tattoos are created by staining the top layer of the skin. Hence, henna tattoos are temporary bodyworks that last for about two weeks. Also, you can get henna tattoos safely without pain or recovery time.

Can I get henna tattoos on various parts of the body?

 You can get henna tattoos inked on any body part with thicker skin.  But you should not get henna designs and tattoos inked on body parts with a lot of hair. Often girls and women get henna tattoos inked on their palms, hands, or feet. However, you can appear stylish by getting henna tattoos inked on your arms, shoulders, back, legs, and ankles.

How long does the henna dye need to stain my skin properly?

The natural henna dye creates stains by bonding with the protein in the skin through oxidization. The air dries the henna dye and darkens the stain gradually over several hours. Hence, you must allow the henna dye to remain on the skin for at least 48 hours to get darker stains.

How long do henna tattoos last?

Unlike real tattoos, henna tattoos are created by staining the upper layers of the skin. Hence, the henna tattoos last for several weeks. The henna tattoos inked on your palms or hand last for about two weeks. But the henna tattoos inked on your feet and ankles last for about weeks. However, the durability of the henna tattoos will differ according to the frequency of dead skin cell exfoliation and new skin cell regeneration.

How can I make the henna tattoos last longer?

The henna tattoos will fade gradually with the skin cell turnover. But you can keep the henna designs and tattoos fresh and appealing by following simple aftercare instructions shared by the aesthetician.

  • Leave the henna dye on your hands for at least 48 hours
  • Moisten the henna dye using lemon juice and white sugar
  • Keep the henna tattoo dry for 12 hours after removing the paste
  • Keep the tattooed area moisturized using massage oil
  • Don’t expose the tattooed skin to sunlight for 12 hours after the tattooing session
  • Stay away from swimming pools, saunas, and steam rooms
