Henna Artists often need symbols, other scripts and languages, magical and meaningful things to please their clients and fuel their own imagination.  Here they are!  Have fun ... and remember ... just because you read it on a webpage, doesn't make it true!  If you don't want to write something bizarre or nonsensical on someone, double-check and triple-check your sources!  If you want to write a name in another language, find a native speaker of that language to help you!
