Henna tattoos

We discovered the joys of sharing henna tattoos, with the Eastern Naturist Gathering.  As it was our first time offering our henna application to our fellow campers, we soon found ourselves with an excess of leftover henna.  Before too long, we were piping the green goo in  larger designs over entire backs.


I found this art form to be very peaceful, and fun.  It became an excellent icebreaker, and we enjoyed getting to know people a little better as they requested specific icons or designs, some of them strategically placed over scars, either to obscure or commemorate.


My favorite experiment of the weekend was a requested "Green Man". Given plenty of time to "play" with teh design, and apply several layers with a paint brush, the results were very much appreciated:
