Henna is a dye plant used since ancient times. When it is applied on the skin, usually as a form of temporary art, as is done in India, Pakistan, Arab countries, and by expatriate communities from these areas, it is called Mehndi. Mehndi patterns became popular in North America and Europe in the mid 1990's where they are associated with tattoos. This is misleading because mehndi does not involve permanent insertion of pigment under the epidermis.
