such a fun way to get into celebatory moods and it’s so so pretty and intricate
yes it hurts as hell taking it off once it dries but beauty is pain you could say and the end result is worth it
also getting your henna done results in some epic convos taking place and lots of laughter and jokes

As someone who has a few tattoos and constantly wants new ones, I’ve been really enjoying using henna as a way to have a temporary, healthy-for-the-skin way to try out new tattoo idea

I have 6, all fine linework except for a trad style convo heart on my upper thigh. I love hand poke from professionals - it’s super intimate and a lot of the artists I followed when I lived in Austin almost exclusively did hand poke work instead of machine. they are not blown out and have not faded :-) I think long and hard about placement, but I just get stuff I want from artists I love. Not everything has to have A Deep Meaning. My faves are a pear on my right forearm (stranger: why the pear? me: I love pears), “form” on the back of my left arm, and the lightbulb eye from Picasso’s Guernica above the inside of my right elbow. tattoos are sexy as hell, and I plan to keep collecting them for the rest of my life. The pain to me usually feels like someone scratching a sunburn - worst was my finger since it’s close to bone and the convo heart since the artist went IN! it can be really bad or very tolerable, but I have genuinely enjoyed talking to all of the artists who have given me their work and just focus on the overall experience ✨ the more shading/color, the more it’s gonna hurt and the more intensive the healing process
