Ever since I saw Amina's henna tattoo, I've wanted to have mine done. Amina was nice enough to drive me out to the tattoo artist's place so I could arrange to have her come to do henna tattoos for everyone at work. Here is my hand, fresh out of the smoke that sets the ink. Lasts a week or so, if I don't go in the pool. (More pictures of the process on my place2place site.)

Intricate work. Should I assume this is a surface design only and not like a tattoo for which a needle is inserted under the skin?
