Kara R - New York Henna Tattoo Artists

Kara is a self taught henna artist with over 15 years experience. She has a long experience with nature & holistic living which inspired her to create her own proprietary, handcrafted henna paste made with only 4 organic ingredients.Kara sources her henna powder direct from the actual grower in Rajastan, India. This henna powder is so fresh and creates a rich, deep stain. Her choice to handcraft her own henna paste was made in response to the lack of quality of premade pastes and to eliminate the dangers of applying chemical laden imposter pastes or "BLACK HENNA" to her clients. Kara prioritizes her clients health, well being and enjoyment of their henna experience.Even though she specializes in custom bridal work, she also loves doing henna of ALL styles, whether it's traditional, modern, on women, and even on men. Kara's work on brides, at parties, sangeets, mehndi nights, campus & public events, festivals, & private appointments has led to over 10,000 hours experience and she has worked on over 2,000 individuals. Kara volunteers free henna crowns & scar cover ups for patients currently undergoing chemo/radiation & for mastectomy survivors.Her work has been featured in several independent movies, fashion shows and even on a few celebrities! Kara's passion has also led her to create a curriculum and teach henna techniques, cultural significance, safety, and application techniques at schools and colleges for all ages & skill levels all around Erie County, NY.
