Ground Zero -- If it ain't the shit, we ain't doin it

Thanks for the compliment. Anyone thats an Angelina Jolie Fetishist is good in my book. I'll be checkin your work out too. I just picked up a henna kit to try out. Any advice or hints?

Apply the henna when there is ample leisure time....once the paste dries on the skin, let the crud stay on as long as possible. I've slept with the crud on, and then washed it off in the morning, and the stain has lasted over a week. But then you'll get little crudlettes in your sheets, but they don't stain! Ooh yea, you can spritz some sugary lemon juice to re-activate the staining powers of henna, but then bugs will bite you, cause you'll be sweet. And make sure the skin is dry and free of oil and lotion and other goo.

As for the application process, I keep q-tips and safety pins around to help with accidents & fine lines. The kit you bought might have different tips and a toothpaste tube applicator, but if not then use a small ziploc bag and cut off a tiny bit of the corner to make a cake decorating contraption.And take pictures! I can't wait to see how it turns out!

VERY IMPORTANT: Do not ever use black henna. Black henna is made from chemicals that will burn the flesh and scar in the shape of the henna application. Real henna smells like inscense and is brownish.

Good Luck!

Thanks for the tips. I'd heard that about black henna (sometime ago) so thanks for the reminder. ? When would i apply the lemon-y sugar spritz?

BTW i checked out your gallery after i sent off that 1st email. Wow you've done some really fantastic work. Love the makeups, i've played around some with makeups but on a much smaller scale than yours. Anyway just wanted to say great stuff!

Thanks for looking! I'm bad at taking compliments, cause I feel like my gallery is pretty raw, and all over the place. But thank you!! My life tends to be a little chaotic, so my art is too.

Spray the lemon juice a couple hours after the henna has dried and turned crackly, spray enough to get the goo wet again, and try not to knock any off.

If you want the design to be extra dark, apply more henna into the cracks of the first, dried application, then when the filler is dried a couple hours, spray the lemon juice to re-hydrate.
