Also Briney could be gay cause he's an artist.
Your post made sense up to this point, then you totally lost me. Make sure you figure out your own Henna and take the design to the artist. Don't let them come up with their own, because you might get something crazy or just plain wrong permanently stuck on your body.
I posted a link to a blog "back in the day" that was published by a Chinese exchange student at some big university. People sent him pictures of their Henna tattoos, and he translated them. If I remember correctly, only ~25% of them were even remotely close to what the "victim" had requested. About 50% were either totally random or not even a word, and the last 25% were intentionally wrong or insulting phrases.
So... Henna probably isn't a good idea unless you research the design yourself. Besides, Henna has become horribly cliché. It's kinda like being emo,
"I want to be different, just like everyone else."You're an artist, Briney, so I'm sure you've got something fairly unique in mind. Are you thinking about a self-made design?
