Glitter Tattoo & Henna Artist ~ Julia Miho Nakamura

Julia, pictured left wearing her own amazing t-shirt design, is an East Bay based professional Henna artist. Julia has experience teaching elementary school, but is now a full time artist. Julia is available for parties and events in the San Francisco Bay Area for henna body art, freehand glitter tattoos, and face painting.

“The intricacy of traditional henna designs has never failed to amaze me. The combinations of a few basic repeating patterns are truly infinite and I have always found solace and peace with these never-ending creations. I am a self-taught artist and love working with henna paste and other types of mediums (canvas, acrylic, pen & ink, body art paints and tattoo design) to create self-expressive art all based on perfect flow and movement within the design itself. Merging this, with ancient traditional henna patterning, to achieve something the eye looses itself within is my ultimate goal. I also LOVE photography and see this as just another way to express myself. – Julia Miho”
