The present invention relates to a system for applying a coloring substance preferably henna on at least one surface of the human body. The device comprises a scanning device configured to scan the body surface and detect movements of the body surface, a color applicator unit to apply the coloring substance onto at least one surface of human body and the controller to coordinate the scanning device and the color applicator unit to work cooperatively to ensure that an accurate replica of the desired design is formed on the surface of the human body. The system has an added advantage of being able to halt the color application process on detecting the displacement of the body surface during the color application process.
