Here are some pictures of what my hands look like today. I got hennaed at a friend and sister priestess' 50th birthday party on Friday. 
We were all gathered to welcome another priestess to our group Sisterhood of the Silver Branch, and so I chose some symbols that would be appropriate for my role in the ceremony. On my right hand is a pomegranate with some crescent moons.I always wondered what it would be like to have henna done, and it was quite an experience. It was hard not to fidget or stretch my hands. It felt like a real luxury (it was quite spendy) and a big treat to have myself taken care of and attended to in this way. It also was fabulous to do it with a group of friends like this too.
On my left hand is my personal symbol, similar to the traditional buddha eye .

The henna is darkening even more since I took the pictures this morning, I wonder how long it will last???

That's so cool-looking! That's what I really wanted when I went on vacation this past summer - a free-style henna tat, but I couldn't find anyplace that did anything except stencil work. The one I got, lasted a couple of weeks I think, although it faded quite a lot by the second week.
