Tiger revisited and a phoenix

Hello peeps! Niza here. Decided to put up some more henna artworks.

This picture above is what the tiger that Lee drew on my back looked like after one day. It got darker after a while and it usually stays on the back for a few days depending on how you take care of it. Basically scrubbing harder will make the design fade faster.


This one is just some random flame pattern.


This one is an experiment I did on my younger brother's back. The design is a phoenix that my younger bro found online.

Happy CNY 2010!

Hola! Kong Hee Fatt Choy to our Chinese friends and greet the year of the tiger. Hopefully a year that shows strength. Other than that from our about a year long hiatus we have been doing a lot of business, we just don't bother to post them. For CNY we decided to make tiger themed hennas for fun. Enjoy! :D

It's a bit late but Happy New Year!

Hello fellow henna fans! Niza here. I know it's a bit late but yeah, Happy New Year!

So what's going on with Artly Henna nowadays you ask? Well we're mostly doing house calls, when people want to be henna-ed they call us, make an appointment and we go to their house to henna em. Our new shop isn't open yet so making appointments for house calls really save us from rushing about especially with our unpredictable schedules.

Since UBD is reopening on Monday, I can't stress this enough, please, please, please, make appointments with us if you want to be henna-ed. We can't always answer to the last minute calls so we would greatly appreciate it if appointments are made first.

Anyways below are some pics (I remember to take) of our customer's henna. Enjoy~


A long and spiky dragon on the whole length of the arm.

Moving shop...

Hello everyone. Niza here.
We have an important announcement to make. We're moving shop. We're planning to move out of our current store in Artly Design (Kiulap) and move into Liyana's house to do the business. So far we haven't moved out from Artly Design yet and we haven't fully set up store at Liyana's residence so we'll keep you posted on when we'll be moving store. Although you guys could still drop by Artly Design to grab our cards and brochures and the store there has a lot of cool shirts and self designed clothes to sell so, it's worth the visit too.

Wedding Bells Ring...

Hello again people! Niza here to bring another plethora of henna images!
As you can tell from the title, the next set of images are wedding package related. One of our regulars is getting married this Sunday 19/10/2008 and we were called upon to henna her with Wedding Package C and let's just say Lee decided to go all out. (^w^)

Also both Liyana and I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate our beloved regular on getting married! May you be blessed with happiness, health and wealth!

More Henna photos

Hello peeps! Niza here~
Finally got about to updating the site with some more pics. Enjoy~

This one is a tribal fox on a friend of mine named 'Fox' so we kind of have this joke that goes, "Fox on a fox." XD


Was bored at the store one time so decided to kill time by henna-ing myself on my foot...


This design seems to be quite popular amongst the female customers...both me and Lee kinda wonder why though.


Was bored and decided to draw on my younger bro again. I just drew the design from the top of my head so it may look like a mix of things. XD

The same design from above, only this time I already peeled off the henna (after it dried, yes people henna will get dry and eventually crack so don't panic when you see it start cracking) and I took this I think about a day or so after I did the design on my foot. I liked how it turned out, pretty dark.

Did a random tribal design on my younger brother's hand. I thought of the design as I drew it so it might look a bit weird, lol.


The symbol for the zodiac, Aquarius


The symbol for the zodiac, Cancer


The symbol for the zodiac, Gemini

The character above means "love" and it is considered both Chinese and Japanese, and is pronounced in a similar manner, "ai". "I love you" in Chinese is - "Wo ai ni" and in Japanese it's "Aishiteiru".

A tribal dragon design that a customer asked me to draw. I think I made the tail end a bit too thick and out of proportion. XD But I still like how it turned out though. Cos despite how difficult or easy it is to draw dragon designs, I love drawing them since dragons are my most favorite mythological creatures.

Large Designs: Bare Back

Both Lee and me were bored one night so guess what it was that we decided to do? We decided to henna our backs and we sure did! We both hennaed each other and went all out on how large we wanted the designs to be and we have to say, we're both pretty satisfied with the results. (^_^)v

The Vajra and Cosmic Fire design, a symbol of thunder and spiritual force from Tibet. I asked Lee to draw this design on me and it took about 30mins to 45mins to complete. The design didn't turn out to be too dark like how it would on the hands since the skin on the back is kinda different but if the both of us were to apply a second coating of henna after steaming, it'll prolly be even darker. But then again we were just experimenting and it's good to know how long we take to draw large designs. It's a bit easier drawing something of this scale especially if it doesn't have so much minute details and I'm hoping to maybe one day draw something of this scale on my customers (if they want lah).

The Phoenix, a symbol of goodness and benevolence in Asia. Lee decided that she wanted a phoenix on her back and she really liked how it turned out. It took me about 30mins to 45mins as well to do this design and I couldn't really copy the original. What's different from the original is the amount of tail feathers and the dark feather tips, mine had less in comparison to the original. XD

Look for these signs!

Hello again peeps, Niza here! (^o^)/

In the previous post I wrote about our price range as well as our schedule. Currently during the month of Ramadhan we're kinda hardly at the store and we're basically doing a lot of on call appointments. Basically if you guys happen to pass by the store and happen to see the signs shown in the picture below stuck on the window of the store then you're in luck, it means that there's a henna artist available.


So if you happen to see the above signs pasted on the store's window, you can be rest assured that there's a henna artist available (or somewhere within the Kiulap premises). If you don't see it then there isn't a henna artist available at the store but you could always enter the store, take a card or brochure and contact any one of us and make an appointment on when and perhaps even where you'd like to be henna-ed.

That's all for now, have a good day and thanks for reading this blog. (^w^)v
