How I became a tattoo artist!

I am an artist and until recently I expressed myself mostly through oil on canvass. However, when my daughter’s friends came over to our house to celebrate her tenth birthday, I decided to give them all a temporary tattoo – with Mehendi (Henna)! I was amused to see the girls sit around patiently waiting for the Henna paste to dry.

A couple of days later my dear friend Linda, seeing my Henna handiwork (on myself as well as on my daughter) invited me to a holistic fair that she was hosting in Springtown, TX. She wanted me to set up a temporary tattoo booth and I readily agreed. What started as a hobby quickly turned into a small business! Here are a few pictures of my work at that fair.
