We have a big Indian population and many women get henna tattoos for ceremonial occasions and religious holidays. I like the look! :) Nice work in B*W. V

Henna tattoos I have no issue with (since they're temporary) but I've never understood the appeal of real ones. The reduction to black and white helps the henna stand out, not just in colour but also in the raised texture.

a careful process sharply articulated...locally Punjabi women sport henna tattoos on special occasions, like weddings, and they look great...

Interesting to see and very effective in B&W. I like the position of the hands. "V"
