The henna in the picture above is derived from traditional henna patterns from Yemen.  The calligraphy in the center is copied from 13th century Seljuq Kufic script, and says "Al-Hadi" which means "the Guide to the Right Way".  I hope  something in this website  is a guide to the right way for you. 

I used  pure natural henna  from Castle Art, http://www.castleart.com and  mixed it with nothing but lemon juice.  I left the henna on overnight, sealed with New Skin, and steamed it several times the next morning to set and intensify the color. 

 and just in case you think this is all entirely Serious
