Or you could come over and visit ... I have a kit

I have had a henna tattoo before on my arm. It didn't last long on me, I'm afraid.

The pic is nice!

In college I went into this convenience store and one of the cashiers was applying Henna on one of her friends. It was so pretty. I wanted to ask her if she would apply some on me,but I was too scared. I think they were shocked I knew what it was.

That is beautiful!

I've always wanted to get this done.

a few years ago i was in an airport waiting for a flight and watched a plane deboard.... this was back when family could wait right there when they got off. i watched this young girl come off the plane, looked to be late teens early 20s. she was dressed very "bohemian", wore sandals, and her feet were covered in henna art. i loved it, it looked sooooo cool! her parents saw it and FREAKED!! til i heard her say "its only henna mom."


i would love to get something like that done for summer.

Tha's cool

a yr or so ago we held a moon lodge here and the women decorated each others feet with Henna

Mach said:

i was trying to look closely at her feet without being obvious. i was kinda shy back then. now i'd just go up to her and say "oh my god, i love your feet!! can i see up close? where did you get it done?"

it was absolutely beautiful, very intricate work.

On my skin it usually will last 2 weeks or so

Jessica's will often times last a month

Mach said:

So these dont come off? what kind of ink is used?

Very pretty.

I had it done once, many years ago for a special occasion.

Me and two friends were supposed to play dragon slayers in a LARP fantasy game and we were going to get henna tat's ALL OVER our bodies, depicting creatures we'd slain before... the game didn't happen though I think they're awesome!

Teacher said:

wow that sounded like it could have been a lot of fun

why didn't it happen ?

veronikka said:

It's plant based and yes after a time they wear off

. ladies, just make sure you get the natural henna and not the stuff dyed black as that is not good for you.

I didnt know that! I've always liked the black.

There is no such thing as black henna. In order for henna to produce a black color chemicals that are unsafe for your skin have been added. Black henna should be avoided. A chemical dye known as PPD, which is not authorized for use on the skin by the FDA is often added to the natural henna to produce a black color. Black henna has become very popular in certain tourist areas, particularly Venice Beach and Mexico. It can cause liver and kidney damage, as well as scarring of the skin.

Natural henna, when applied to the skin rarely causes any adverse reactions, if you are concerned you should do a small patch test first. Natural henna is safe even for use on children as it contains no dangerous chemical dyes or harsh additives.

The paste is made from ground leaves of henna plants and a variety of ingredients such as lemons, limes, black tea, coffee, rose petals, orange blossoms, essential oils, cloves, pomegranates, tamarind, okra, and sugar.
