Henna artist wanted in Lincoln, Nebraska

Need help finding a henna artist in Lincoln, Nebraska. Any suggestions? They don't seem to advertise in the Yellow Pages, and I couldn't really find any good leads using Google.
Best answer: Perhaps you could try contacting an Indian cultural center there? I imagine those would be in the Yellow pages and they could probably hook you up with a friendly auntie :)

Best answer: Professional henna body artist here, but I'm from Montreal...
First, I'd suggest you check out the forums on HennaTribe and post your request there - they are an extremely friendly and helpful bunch of henna artists from around the globe. I'm sure they could help you with your search!
Secondly, you could try the HennaPage but the community there is generally not as friendly as the first, especially to newcomers. Not bad, as long as you have that heads-up warning...
Please be sure that whatever henna artist you choose does NOT use anything called "black henna as that is not true henna but instead contains PPD, which can cause permanent scarring. Natural henna only produces natural tones from pale to dark reds, browns and oranges -- it is never black. However, there are times it can *seem* dark or black in photos, that is probably the dried paste before it is removed. Please choose a responsible henna artist that uses pure and natural ingredients.
Good luck with your search!
