Go to our Events for Teens  tab on the BPL Summer Reading page to find out where and when Nimmi will be doing henna tattoos.

The art of making henna tattoos, called mendhi, goes way back, at least 5,000 years. If you want to know more about it AND learn how to make your own designs, here’s a good place to start. 

If you need some ideas for what you’d like drawn on you, the Henna Page Symbol Index  has some suggestions.   

The Henna Tattoo artist will be in the Teen Room at Copley

June 4^th & June 18^th @ 3pm.  Cut and paste the information below and have your parent or guardian sign it and you are good to go!                                                                

But, you can’t get a tattoo without a signed permission slip!  __________________________________________________________________
