I sell natural jagua cones and henna cones. Swipe to see the difference between the two. Each cone weighs 12 grams. Unlike fake henna, natural products like these are very perishable and must be frozen after purchase to keep them fresh.

These days I use deionized water in my mixture, rather than lemon juice, but everything else is the same. You guys have to watch out for fake henna. Even buying henna in a powder form can be risky, so you should only get yours from trusted suppliers. I've tagged a couple. And for those of you who want natural henna, but don't want to go through the trouble of mixing it yourself, I sell my henna cones island wide. Whatsapp me to purchase or if you want more information.

Hope y'all are having a good morning. I wanted to dispel a misconception of what people consider to be a tribal tattoo pattern. The first thing I'd like to point out is that the patterns associated with that term have a very specific look, but it's probably not the look that you would imagine upon first consideration. Often times persons group several different aesthetics together and call them tribal. It can be very confusing to your body artist and it's misrepresentative of the unique cultures that identify themselves through these markings. When a Samoan man is about to have the markings on his body done, he doesn't think to himself, "I'm going to get my tribal tattoo now". That's a thought that, to a great degree, is considered by westerners. While tribal designs that were developed in America (the patterns at the bottom of the image) are derived from these nobel cultures, the specific markings from these other peoples are not themselves "tribal". In some cases, the very reproduction of the sacred patterns of these cultures is considered disrespectful, if done on/by someone who is not of their culture. Lastly, these are only a few examples of several different types of patterns from a variety of cultures, each of which are grouped as and misrepresented as tribal. Some of these include several other Polynesian cultures, Hawaiian culture, the Iban people of Borneo, the Ndebele people of Southern Africa, (that's not a typo), several other African cultures, Celtic culture, the Mayans, the Aztecs, etc... The list goes on and on. Disclaimer : this is the opinion I've formed from observing the evolution of body art over the years and the terms associated with that evolution. If anyone is able to educate us further on this, please drop your knowledge in the comments below. The henna stains above were inspired by the cultures that label them. None are an identical reproduction of any particular piece of body art. ________________________ #tribaltattoos #whatistribal #polynesiantattoo #samoantattoo #maoritattoo (at Henna Threads) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3uASt5ghXI/?igshid=1esf7v5s2qkwk

The left side of the shoe from the "to whom much is given" giveaway. This is the last picture I'll post for the giveaway. Good luck everyone! What do you have to do to enter? Nothing. That's right. If you are following me on Instagram, then you have already been entered into the giveaway. If you are gracious enough to share this post, however, you will be awarded 1 extra entry. I'll pick the winner on the 20th of this month at 9am and announce the winner on the 21st of October at 6pm. And the giveaway is open to all my followers from any country, just to clarify. I'll ship the prize to you. I'll contact the winner on the morning of the 20th and if I don't get a response in 24 hours I will pick someone else. These shoes are 27cm from heel to toe. That means they are a size 9 for men and size 10 for women, by US size standards. If you win and these shoes are not your size, please give them to a friend or family member they'll be able to fit. You can even sell them using my name, if you prefer. Seriously. This year has been a most challenging year for me, filled with 3 life changing events... When I say life changing, I mean it. As such, I'm grateful for what I have been given in this life and I'd like to give back. I wanted to make it a true giveaway, which wasn't about me and how much I can benefit, but rather about how much I can show my appreciation for all I have. That's why I don't require you to do any promotional work for my benefit. And for those of you who are curious, I do custom work like this for 120USD and upward, NOT including the shoe, of course. NOTE: Only one side of each shoe has been customized and the patterns do not match, even though they have been evenly laid out. #OnlyHuman #gilding #gildedshoes #hennathreads #customshoes #customcanvasshoes #customconverse (at Henna Threads) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3kV064gC24/?igshid=x4mc1zw1rbbz

I now announce the "to whom much is given" giveaway. Yes! I'm giving away this hand-done, custom piece of footwear. What do you have to do to enter? Nothing. That's right. If you are following me on Instagram, then you have already been entered into the giveaway. If you are gracious enough to share this post, however, you will be awarded 1 extra entry. But, if you think about it, 1 extra entry out of 16k doesn't increase your chances much. You'd really just be doing me a favour if you shared the post. But favours are quite welcome! I'll pick the winner on the 20th of this month at 9am and announce the winner on the 21st of October at 6pm. And the giveaway is open to all my followers from any country, just to clarify. I'll ship the prize to you. I'll contact the winner on the morning of the 20th and if I don't get a response in 24 hours I will pick someone else. These shoes are 27cm from heel to toe.

Henna stains from clients! Thank you! I'd like to point out again that these are HENNA stains. I make my henna myself from scratch and I even supply to other local henna artists (if any of you see this post and would like to be tagged, please let me know). Swipe to the end for a list of my ingredients, none of which are allergens. Natural henna stains the skin red/brown only. How dark the stain becomes will depend on your skin chemistry and where on your body you decide to place the design, but it will always be red/brown. Henna is NOT black. If you see body art in ANY colour other than red/brown, it's definitely not henna. There are, however, fake henna products out there that actually do stain in the same colour as natural henna and they are WAY more popular than natural henna and are harmful. Don't be afraid to question your henna artists. "did you make this yourself?", "who is your supplier?", "what are the exact ingredients in your henna?" By the way, if you are told that the henna being put on you is from India or Pakistan, that DOES NOT mean it is natural henna. Those countries have a high demand for henna. As such, they are the largest exporters of fake henna. _______________________ #hennathreads #hennaisNOTblack #henna #jamaicanhenna #jahenna #hennaja #hennajamaica #jamaicanhennaartist #hennainjamaica #naturalhenna #hennastain #hennastainsonblackskin #hennaonblackpeople #hennastainsonblackpeople #hennastainonblackpeople #hennastainonblackskin #hennastainondarkskin #hennastainsondarkskin #darkhennastain #hennaonblackskin #darkskinhennastain (at Henna Threads) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2y1T7bgebN/?igshid=1k3y71ibemvfl
