Henna Funna

So henna, where to start? It's awesome, time consuming, and fun. I only took pictures of the before and the immediate after, while the colors to change from day to day. The before pictures are when the henna is dried and crusty on my skin so you can see the design better and the comparison to when the crusties are removed. I currently still do have a bit henna mixture left but no time to do it. Plus I'm out of oil, so once I get more I'm going to do it the right way. My henna is fading away quite a bit now, and I've only had it on for a week. They last about 1-4 weeks, depending on your care and what not. For my first, I don't think I did so bad. But I do plan to do this more and I'm learning as I go. So! I'm going to give an explanation for the different designs I did on my skin:
First, the scorpion was my first try with Henna, I used the "stencil" that came with the kit as a practice round, hence the placement on a not so visible area. The 'forever' was because my friend told me to write 'forever' in reference to a Zach Galifianakis joke about how henna is only temporary.

This was just some random elaboration I want to do around my already existing tattoo. Unfortunately it didn't come out as dark as I'd like but is actually not fading as much as the others at the moment. This was particularly hard when I'm breathing and holding my hand above myself without touching anything and being shaky too. Quite a challenge, but I do like the way it looks.

I originally wanted to put an eye on my palms but I wouldn't be able to put an eye on both hands due to handedness. Also decided not to do it on the palm since knowing me, I'd mess it up quickly. So I just did some randomness around the eye and finished it with 'maya' which is Buddhist/Indian for 'illusion'. This one actually came out the darkest but is the most faded one now.

Here, I'd like to leave a description blank and for people to just guess it. But I'll be nice and give you two words The Fountain. As you can tell, this is done on my left arm...so that means I used my right hand. By the time I was getting towards my elbow my right hand was getting a little bit more and more precise.

This was the second day where I decided to add more lines to my arm and another funness around my already existing tattoo.

Anyways that's all of the show. I'm going to do more, many more, henna projects in the near future. I'm actually going to do something huge and elaborate on my coworker's back, shoulders, and chest whenever she has the money for me to buy the kit. Exciting.
