Ok, I won't go. But I do want to say that I spoke to alot of tatto
artists today ( permannt tattoos) that my husband knows and ALL of
them use some kind of stencil or another, unless it is a design that
they use alot. So I don't feel so bad now. They are also not ashamed
to admit that they use them and they still make alot of money, enjoy
what they are doing, and do not lose any business because of it.
Thank you for at least giving me the courage to find out some info on
my own about the subject.
Warm regards,
Lisa Charron

Hey, I did not mean to piss you off or make you defensive.
:
: Yeah, I can do this shit. I've also got a Bachelor's degree in
Fine
: Art and have taught art to underpriviledged children in my area for
: the past two years. I'm an artist, and have been all my life.
:
: What I was trying to say in my other post was this: dont let lack
of
: skill stop you from trying! I don't want someone addicted to
: transfers for the rest of their mehndi days and think that they
might
: suck too bad to be able to henna freehand, when all they needed to
do
: was try.
:
: I didn't want to make someone feel bad for using transfers, but I
did
: want to encourage that person to try something more challenging,
and
: for me, artistically fulfilling.
:
: I think what bugs me about transfers is that a lot of amusement
park
: artists are using them, and they are also being sold in every henna
: kit across the country.
:
: So when I get a potential customer, many times it is someone who
: says, "Oh I had one of those kits. It didnt work out very well."
: or "I had that done at the fair." In other words, these people
tell
: me that they've had their share of the henna experience, and
wouldn't

:
: This sort of thing gives henna artists everywhere a bad rep.
:
: Yeah, I got my start too with one of those henna kits. With any

: to be able to use it to the best of your ability.

: Using transfers isn't pushing the envelope far enough.
