Exotic Footnote.
I’ve often thought about getting a tattoo, a little one on my toe or my ankle perhaps, but the idea of needles, and having to stick with one fashion choice forever, have kept me from committing. For centuries, Indian brides have decorated their hands and feet with henna and in recent years, the henna trend has made its way west to allow me to play with paint, without having to live with it for the rest of my days. Henna is temporary—it lasts one to four weeks, depending on several factors such as where on the body it’s applied, how often that part is washed, etc. and it’s also widely available (even some K-Mart stores carry it.) I’m planning to experiment with some classic and contemporary designs to showcase my pretty feet, and to make sure I never forget them again!
