More Henna photos

Hello peeps! Niza here~
Finally got about to updating the site with some more pics. Enjoy~

This one is a tribal fox on a friend of mine named 'Fox' so we kind of have this joke that goes, "Fox on a fox." XD


Was bored at the store one time so decided to kill time by henna-ing myself on my foot...


This design seems to be quite popular amongst the female customers...both me and Lee kinda wonder why though.


Was bored and decided to draw on my younger bro again. I just drew the design from the top of my head so it may look like a mix of things. XD


The same design from above, only this time I already peeled off the henna (after it dried, yes people henna will get dry and eventually crack so don't panic when you see it start cracking) and I took this I think about a day or so after I did the design on my foot. I liked how it turned out, pretty dark.


Did a random tribal design on my younger brother's hand. I thought of the design as I drew it so it might look a bit weird, lol.


The symbol for the zodiac, Aquarius


The symbol for the zodiac, Cancer


The symbol for the zodiac, Gemini


The character above means "love" and it is considered both Chinese and Japanese, and is pronounced in a similar manner, "ai". "I love you" in Chinese is - "Wo ai ni" and in Japanese it's "Aishiteiru".


A tribal dragon design that a customer asked me to draw. I think I made the tail end a bit too thick and out of proportion. XD But I still like how it turned out though. Cos despite how difficult or easy it is to draw dragon designs, I love drawing them since dragons are my most favorite mythological creatures.

Large Designs: Bare Back
Both Lee and me were bored one night so guess what it was that we decided to do? We decided to henna our backs and we sure did! We both hennaed each other and went all out on how large we wanted the designs to be and we have to say, we're both pretty satisfied with the results. (^_^)v


The Vajra and Cosmic Fire design, a symbol of thunder and spiritual force from Tibet. I asked Lee to draw this design on me and it took about 30mins to 45mins to complete. The design didn't turn out to be too dark like how it would on the hands since the skin on the back is kinda different but if the both of us were to apply a second coating of henna after steaming, it'll prolly be even darker. But then again we were just experimenting and it's good to know how long we take to draw large designs. It's a bit easier drawing something of this scale especially if it doesn't have so much minute details and I'm hoping to maybe one day draw something of this scale on my customers (if they want lah).


The Phoenix, a symbol of goodness and benevolence in Asia. Lee decided that she wanted a phoenix on her back and she really liked how it turned out. It took me about 30mins to 45mins as well to do this design and I couldn't really copy the original. What's different from the original is the amount of tail feathers and the dark feather tips, mine had less in comparison to the original. XD
