I was talking to a Pakistani fellow the other day who says that his
brother in New Jersey does henna for their family festivities, and
that his henna was minutely detailled and complex ..... like intensely
patterned Koranic miniatures. So, yes, the hair-thin henna patterns
are in vogue, at least with a New Jersey Khan family.

YOu might ask if they have holiday greetings, like "Peace" that they
would like in the henna pattern ... and ask them to write it out on
paper first. The Pakistani fellow liked the pattern I had on my hand
at the time that said "a-salaam" (Ah, peace, or Oh, wonderful), though
he could just make it out in the Arabic I had written, as he was more
familiar with Urdu.
