All the application methods we carry (so you can choose which you prefer, or use all three), tons of stencils (16), more powder and mehndi oil, paper tape (see description below) and the Indian ethnic design/mixing bowl and a silver coated brass spatula (shovel) which is perfect for spreading the henna paste on the stencils. Plus the silver goodies are pleasing to the eye of your customers. Get ready to do some henna tattooing with this kit.

*Deluxe Kit-This popular kit comes in the zippered design bag and has everything to get you up and running either professionally or for personal use. You get both the powder and the paste, 2 application methods, many various stencils, plus accessories. Do 2 or 3 designs on paying clients and your kit pays for itself. It's a nice kit because you get to experience the convenience of the pre-made paste and the fun of mixing your own fresh henna paste, which gives superior color and the henna tattoos last longer on the skin. It is NOT hard to mix your own paste.

*Deluxe Tube Paste Kit-This is a few steps above the sample kit as it comes with more stencils(5) and the ethnic design book and yorker application bottle.

*Sample Tube Kit-This is a nice sample kit of pre-mixed paste,tips, oil and 3 stencils. Great for the curious. The pre-made paste tattoo designs will not last as long on your skin as mixing your own henna paste, but works very well! Easy and fun.

*Rainbow Kit-This kit contains 6 tubes of pre-mixed henna based paste, You also get 6 large plastic gloves and the Multi-Tats Set #1. To learn more about the colored paste click here. You can also purchase each tube individually.

Henna Powder-Our henna is triple sifted and is very fine. No particles remain to clog your application tip or device. It is imported directly from India,in a region known for superior henna, both hair dyes and Mehndi art. It is "natural" color, the best for Mehndi. It leaves a dark brown or deep burnt-orange temporary tattoo. The color and intensity will vary depending on what part of the body you use it and how long you leave it on. The natural dye ingredient in henna powder is lawsome.The shelf-life of our henna powder is indefinite as long as the powder is not exposed to moisture.For in-depth details of henna go here. Mix it with our tea blend, red wine or plain boiled water for wonderful results.

Mehndi Oil- It is eucalyptus oil and clove oil. Proven to be the best for longer lasting,darker mehndi tattoos. It is used to keep the henna design moist and in contact with your skin while the natural dye components penetrate the outer layers of your skin.

Natural Henna Tube Paste- Comes in a toothpaste like squeeze tube(with 3 different tips)and is a fast and convenient way to apply Mehndi designs. It is a careful mixture of natural henna powder, mehndi oil, water and a small preservative, packaged just for Body Art Supply in India. We may also have "Shelley" brand tubes made by a reputable manufacturer in India. Availability on each brand depends on what we can get imported in the USA. Both brands are wonderful. People like to use these to do touch ups, re-applying to fading designs to make them last longer and just enjoy the ready made paste. It gives good color but does not last as long as using fresh made henna paste.

Tube Paste Application Tips(3)-Each tip is of a different hole size or design. 1 is small round, 1 is extra small round and 1 is about an 1/8th inch long-wide so you can achieve different designs with the tube paste.

Mehndi Stencils-These come in a variety of designs.They have an adhesive sticky back to them and are re-usable.You can also use these to do arm/wrist/ankle designs, simply cut the finger parts and place them end to end! They vary in ethnic Indian designs as well as Celtic/Tribal/Snakes/Wraps and funky ones.They are used to create intricate designs and are a time saver from having to do the intricate designs by hand or if you are not sure how to do a design(plus they are just FUN). Once stencils are peeled from the paper,lay sticky part in the desired location of your temporary henna tattoo and spread either the tube paste or home made henna paste into the crevices of the design stencil. Lay on an even amount of paste being careful to keep within the boundaries of the stencil design. Keep stencil on while it sets and keep moist with Mehndi oil.Leave them on as long as you want. The longer the better with 2 hours being our recommended minimum.  We have hand, round, floral and feet designs...click here to see! As well as Celtic/Tribal/Snakes,arm wraps,etc go here to see. And new multi purposes and New Age mix. See below..

*Multi Tats-We call these multi purpose because they suit a variety of body art wants and needs.They are varying in size, design and color. Multi tats are made from a contact paper (shelf paper) substance and are very sticky. They have 3 uses. From a distance, they look like a real tattoo. You can use them as a stencil with body paints and of course the henna paste. You wanted the more traditional designs...you got it, in very cool designs. We currently carry 4 different sets and these are the suggested stencils to use with the colored paste.

*Tiny Tats-These are a variety of the astrological Sun Signs as well as a fun mix of Western designs. They are approx. 2 inches in diameter. 24 come in a set.

Plastic squeeze bottle with "yorker" spout/tip-This is a small bottle to put your henna paste or tube paste into before you apply it. You poke the desired hole size into it and then apply your henna design. It helps to keep your henna from drying out as it has a cap on it. This bottle is preferred by some people. This comes in the Deluxe Tube Paste Kit.

Traditional plastic cone (like a baker's bag)-This 'cone' is a triangular tube made of soft pliable plastic and has a very fine tip attached to it. You put your henna paste into it and squeeze down toward tip end of the bag. You can tie the open end closed with a rubber band or string if you wish. The cone is traditionally used for Mehndi. Some people prefer this method of applying henna designs. (Aren't we nice to give you a choice?) You get both the cone and yorker spout bottle in the Deluxe Kit.

*Special Tea Blend-This is a blend of tea and special roots known for their dark coloring effect. When boiled with water, use as your main liquid when mixing your henna powder to obtain even darker tattoo designs. It also comes with a muslin bag to boil it in. It is not a necessity but our artists love it. You can use the whole bag for about 3 cups of liquid and store for later use. The tannins in the tea really help bring out the color even more....click to see

*BAS Oil Blend-This is our own unique blend of eucalyptus and lemon essential oils. The citrus addition really helps bring out the henna color and adds a pleasant scent. The large .25oz bottles are available for separate purchase and are included in the Professional Kit. The amber bottles help preserve the potency of the oil....click to see

Metal Tip Squeeze Bottle- This small squeeze bottle has a metal tip attached for controlled, fine line application. Put your henna paste mixture or tube paste mixture in it. It comes with a pin in case you get a clog. Some people prefer this applicator bottle. It is my personal favorite. Click here to see....

spot.gif (1865 bytes)3 Tips Applicator Bottle-This new Patented applicator bottle is cool. It comes with three extra long and different sized tips, very fine, fine and fatter, for ease of henna application. It is included in the Professional Kit and the Deluxe Kit or can be bought separately. Click to see

spot.gif (1865 bytes)Paper Tape-(Made by 3M,a.ka. Micropore) this 2 inch wide, 10 yard long tape is used to put over a henna paste design after it has set and has had the oil or lemon/sugar mixture applied a couple of times. The design should be firm enough so the tape does not squish the design. It is wonderful for salons  who want to send their customers home instead of waiting around for hours while the mehndi does its stain thing. It enables the skin to breathe and allows for a little more movement while it's setting and you don't have to worry about if drying and falling off!. A great idea from one of our customers. It works!

Indian Ethnic Mehndi Design Booklet-32 pages of traditional designs for both the hands and the feet. Each page giving you examples of how the designs are. It's pretty cool, with pictures of pretty Indian woman on the cover. We carry a few different design booklets.

spot.gif (1865 bytes)Silver accessories- This is a small silver Indian ethnic design bowl approximately 4" in diameter and 2" deep. It can be used to mix your henna powder mixture in and is also very aesthetically pleasing to clients as it has the 'ethnic mehndi' look. Our artists use it to scoop the paste out of while applying to a clients stencil design. The 4" long spatula has a flat edge about 3/4 inch wide which is perfect for spreading the henna paste. Very pretty Indian Handicraft. Click here to see...
