I do have a couple of tattoos. I really like them. I also do a lot of
henna. Keep mine as dark and fresh looking as I can. Tattooing and
henna are two separate things. I have my tattoos as a permanent
reminder of my husband's and my love for each other. The henna
designs change with whatever is coming up. I'm not Muslim or Hindu
but I do henna to celebrate certain holidays and other things (like
MY birthday. Then I treat myself and get someone else to do it for
me.) I even overlay the henna designs over the tattoo around my left
wrist. The black tattoo looks wonderful under the deep red of the
henna. I've found that most people here just say "what on earth is
that around your wrist (or on your hand or feet)." And henna is not a
wusses tattoo. It takes a lot longer to sit through a henna session
than it does getting a tattoo. I commend any man who does henna. I've
been trying to talk my husband into letting me do him since he had to
have his leg shaved for a surgery!
