Have You Met Maryam

Introduction: I started doing henna when I was little. For those of you who may not know what henna is, it refers to the dye prepared from a plant called the mignonette tree to perform the art of temporary tattooing. When henna is applied on the skin (just like writing from a marker) and left for few hours, it leaves an orange to dark maroon stain in the skin which fades away in 7 to 14 days. Henna has been used to decorate young women's bodies as part of social and holiday celebrations.
