I was not in Qatar for long… but I was there long enough to see a few interesting things. This is Ameena, who was more than happy to show me all the little details in her tattoos.

Gorgeous shot! Are those the henna tatoos they get before being married, or actual needle tatoos?

Daniel, those are not permanent. It is called “mehndi“, which is usually done for special occasions like Weddings and Eid.

Well, As seen on this post the girl seem to be quite really pretty. Most Midle East Women love to paint on hands with Hana ( Am I spell correctly?)

Actually its not specifically worn for a bride getting married. henna is done on all sorts of occasions. For example during Ramadan toward the end women wear henna, or it could be a close relatives wedding, women wear henna, or it could be for graduation women…you get the picture. Its not solely regulated to women getting married, though, brides get the more intricate and often more body covering henna, but it changes with culture and religion.
