About Rama

Meet the artist behind the beautiful henna designs - a passionate creator dedicated to preserving tradition while embracing modern artistry

Hi, I'm Rama

I'm a passionate henna artist based in the Greater Seattle area, blending traditional Indian designs with modern elegance.

What began as a simple childhood joy of applying henna for family and friends has grown into a heartfelt career that celebrates culture, creativity, and connection. Inspired by my father’s entrepreneurial spirit and supported by my family and friends, I’ve built Henna by Rama into a space where art and tradition come together to create something truly meaningful.

Every design I create is made with love, care, and deep respect for this ancient art form—each pattern telling a story, marking a moment, or simply bringing joy through its beauty.

Rama - Henna Artist
My Journey as a Henna Artist

My journey with henna began in my childhood home in Telangana, India. I started using a simple toothpick to apply henna for family and friends during weddings and festivals, fascinated by how something so simple could bring so much happiness.

I moved to the United States with my husband and focused on raising our two children. Years later, as they grew older, I felt a strong pull to rediscover my creative side and pursue something of my own.

Thanks to the encouragement of a dear friend, who recognized potential in my work, I decided to take a leap of faith and turn my lifelong passion into a profession—thus, Henna by Rama was born.

Over time, I’ve had the joy of sharing my art at community events, cultural celebrations, and private gatherings—each experience reminding me how deeply art can connect people and brighten their moments.

What started as a personal form of expression has become a fulfilling business that allows me to share a piece of my culture while connecting with people from all walks of life. My story is proof that it’s never too late to follow your passion—with dedication and heart, dreams truly can bloom into reality.

My Philosophy & Approach

I believe that henna is more than just body art - it's a connection to our heritage, a celebration of natural beauty, and a moment of mindfulness in our busy lives. Every design I create is infused with intention, love, and respect for the ancient traditions that have been passed down through generations.

My commitment to using only organic, natural henna stems from my belief that what we put on our bodies should be as pure as the intentions behind the art. I source my henna from trusted suppliers who share my values of sustainability and quality.

I see each session as a collaborative experience where your vision meets my expertise. Whether you're drawn to traditional motifs or contemporary designs, I work with you to create something that feels authentically yours while honoring the cultural significance of this beautiful art form.
