Say hello to your Henna Artist

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

Hi girlie! My name’s Fatmata (or “fats” for short). I’m a self-taught mobile henna artist based in South London, who travels across London and to nearby areas, such as Cheshunt, Romford, and Southall. I specialise in using Jagua gel, but also use natural henna to adorn your hands with henna!

I started doing henna at just 9 years old. My passion stemmed from my childhood friend Maryan & her Mum. Maryan’s mum always did my henna at our primary school’s ‘International Day’. I loved the prettiness of her designs & their neatness. From there, I learnt how to draw flowers & common henna patterns and as a little girl, I’ve always wanted to do my own bridal henna, especially as henna’s a big thing in my country & culture (Sierra Leone & Guinea).

I picked up my very first henna cone with my friend, Isabella. I regularly practised henna designs on her. Eventually I got the hang of it & before I knew it, I always had my hands covered in henna designs for the last 14 years. I started doing it for my family & friends throughout secondary school; then, I decided to turn my passion for henna into a service (whilst I was at university).

My Goal:

Empowering every girl/woman to feel beautiful & confident in themselves❤️.

To share the same excitement I get for adorning hands with henna.
