Natural henna: the art of temporary tattooing in Reunion Island

The sacred origins of natural henna

Natural henna has been used by humans for over 5,000 years. From Egyptian frescoes to Indian weddings, this plant-based powder has protected, cared for, and beautified the skin. Today , Tiitoune Art continues the tradition in Reunion Island: each batch is freshly sieved and then packaged in our family workshop.

Why choose natural henna over a chemical mixture?

  • Warm brown coloring without PPD or ammonia
  • ✅ Respect for sensitive skin – no burning
  • ✅ Controlled duration: 7 to 10 days, then disappears gently

Tiitoune Art expertise: 11 years of local craftsmanship

Since 2013, we've been transforming natural henna into ready-to-use cones. As a result, you get a creamy, triple-filtered paste that glides on easily and creates a clean line. Our designs are inspired by Creole flowers and oriental arabesques, offering a unique Indian Ocean style.

Practical guide – how to succeed with your natural henna tattoo

  1. Preparation: clean skin, light exfoliation
  2. Application: Hold the cone at 45°, press gently
  3. Drying: 15 min in the air, then fix with lemon sugar
  4. Patience: leave the dough for 3–4 hours, peel off dry
  5. Maintenance: avoid hot water for the next 24 hours

Tip : For a darker brown, apply a little Tiitoune Art coconut oil after oxidation.
