Meet Sabreena Haque, Owner and Founder of Ritual By Design.
Taught by my aunties as a young girl, I began mixing my own henna paste with the same recipe I still use today. What began as tradition has become a global journey of adorning brides, collaborating with creatives, and celebrating community through ritual and design. In 2019, that journey expanded when I picked up my first tattoo machine. After apprenticing at Gold Leaf Ink and tattooing at 24th Street Studio in San Francisco, I’ve since built a thriving private practice—while still guesting in Brooklyn and Chicago when I crave the creative energy of other artists. Whether you're marking a wedding, a personal transformation, or simply seeking something beautiful, I offer custom, collaborative designs grounded in ritual, artistry, and meaning. Let’s create something unforgettable together.
“My SFO visit got extra special after getting henna’ed by Sabreena. As an artist myself, I see her spirit and cultural values that inspire her to be what she is today. Extremely proud to say that I know such an incredible artist… who has worked hard and established herself so beautifully in the henna industry. She is full of life and laughter. Her henna studio is just the perfect place you would want to get pampered. I have always admired her virtually and today had the opportunity of exchanging hugs physically and getting the original Ritual by Design mehndi on my hands.”
