I've had several people comment on my "wussy tattoo", and then I put
them in thier place.
I say "You know, if I had known about the art of henna BEFORE I got
my 2 tattoos, I would never have spent the money on them. I could
have expressed my desire to decorate myself in a safe, natural and
CHAGEABLE way. I can do a different design on myself every week if I
want, and it never hurts, gets infected or causes me to blow a job
interview. And how do you know if those needles are REALLY clean?"
You're right Catherine, it IS like the beauty of a flower, or maybe
even a sunset, which you appreciate for it's limited time.
What I've found at my local tattoo shop is a sheet or 2 of henna
"flash" that people can get tattooed in a brown or reddish color. I
can trace back exactly which books they've copied these from, as well.
WHY take such an idea and make it PERMANENT!!??
