RE: Mandala Henna Djembé🎶 [Original Art]
Thank you @sykochica! You can always look for a henna artist in your area, not all henna artists decorate drums, but some (like me) do. If you go for it, just remember that the henna needs to be 100%natural, and handmade, otherwise chemical "henna" could damage the skin of the drums.
Oh nice, thank you! I'll do some looking around for people in the area that do drum henna..it'd be pretty sweet. Great tip on it being natural...that'd suck to have the heads damaged. They've lasted me the last 15 years or so and hate to see something happen to them now.

So basically stay away of any henna that looks like these "henna" cones in the image below:
Good luck, I'm sure you will find an experienced artist who mixes their own paste!
