Continuing the tattoo theme we went to the local Indian shop when Lakshmi was here and got some henna! Naturally I elected myself as the artist:
It was squeezed out of a narrow cone like decorating a cake and came out as a thick, sticky paste. It wasn’t easy, but I mastered it quickly…
My results were perhaps not traditional henna style, but impressive nonetheless:
Several hours later they had all dried:
I was slightly alarmed when B and L said they would last for a long time! Happily (sadly?) they’re completely gone now less than a week later.
It was fun. Next time you’re in town if you’d like a henna tattoo let me know!
