    Thats more then fine, although a blade wielded by somone other than myself is alot more interesting then self injury I can tell ya that.

    Well even if I dont know the meaning I think it's really awesome...my chinese letters (pictures some where on this thread) say "Forever in my heart Grandfather" he passed away tragically in 2002 from suicide. Everyones question is "Why chinese...was he chinese?" uh no, that spelled out in english would of taken up half my body lol.

    I hope this isn't terribly off topic, but has anybody had any experience with henna or indigo temp tattoos? Especially indigo in my case, lol.

    I'm not big on the idea of trying to actually tattoo my right hand/wrist as I have a lot of pain problems in that area as is but I'd love to cover up some of the scarring and basically balance out my right hand which is beringed and bewatched. I'm especially interested in painting with indigo on myself and I've heard that if you go over it enough times it can be perminant eventually even though the initial dyes only last like.. 5 days.

    Here's the stuff I'm looking at. It would be cool to do my feet that way too.. :D

    I've had both done. As for the henna, the best stuff is somebody who makes their own mix. The lemon juice mix on the henna to keep it moist longer will help keep the stain. Stay away from the so called "black" henna as well, it's not really henna and will scar etc.

    I'm asian, so my skin takes ink/henna very well. The more you wash/exofoilate a henna/ink design, the faster it will wear away. Also, different areas of the body take henna better, especially the palms of the hands and the soles of the feat. It's also better not to peel off the henna, but to let it wear off. Also, you can glitter it when it's still wet and it'll look really neat.

    This is a piece I had done last year. This is about a week after it was originally done and I was camping at the time.

    Btw, espeically if it's early in the summer, if you get a sunburn or tan around your design, you will have the design in reverse on your skin for a while.

    The artist who does my henna told me she had done a dragon on her son's back...and he sunburned. He had a gorgeous white dragon on his back for the rest of the summer after the henna faded.

    Henna is also really good for your skin if you have eczema.

    Here are my tats. The first one is of my car, which I drew and had it done by an amatuer who only charged me 20 bucks for needles and ink. The second one on my other arm is the German Imperial Eagle perched atop a VW symbol. Yes, I love Volkswagens as well as reptiles :). Both were done by the same person. I did not get the right ointment and the tattoo faded and looked bad. I got the bug redone by a professional shop and it looks 150% better. It took about 3 hours and didn't cost a dime because I had done some computer work for the owner and that is how I was repaid. It would have come out to about 300 bucks. Still gotta save up some money to get the other one redone.

    Enjoy!
