Henna tattoos are being introduced to football fans from around the world who are attending the World Cup in Qatar.
The art of henna has been practised in Pakistan, India, Africa and the Middle East for over 5,000 years. It was originally used for its natural cooling properties by people living in hot desert climates. A paste would be made, in which the palms of hands and soles of feet would be soaked.
