Henna

5 Weeks out!!!
We are all so excited :)

We're putting word out now to sign up for a henna party and/or appointment! We'll come to your room, meet you in a central spot, do it up in the art room...whatever! We'll be staying in a host hotel this year so we can go as late as needed. We'll have sign up sheets at our bazaar table and we'll post our cell phone numbers as the date gets closer.

To see some of our designs, go to our henna images page.

just got to say, i love your icon

questions

[identity profile] paidiraiompair.livejournal.com 2009-07-28 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
1: What day will you first be available?? (I was wondering if you would be there Thursday)
2: How long to a) do the design b) let it "set" c) be ready for show? (ie if I had one done on say my back, how long before I could wear a shirt before without ruining it?
3: What are the general costs? I know that it probably depends on how big a design/complicated etc. and other factors...but a good guess-timation

It's still a little strange. I've waited for this from end of con to right now, and my favourite part of the year. . is just around the corner.

I was hoping you guys would be back this year. I'm the one who got the Jabba Clan Symbol (my wife got the Allergic to Codiene).

For anyone considering Henna, I highly recomend this group. They did an excellent job on both mine and my wifes tattoos last year and I totally plan on getting one again this year.

Holy Catfish, those are awesome!
I do believe I will be a customer :)
I got henna in Egypt and really regretted it (high quality henna, TERRIBLE application); then I've gotten henna at DC and it was really wonderful! Can't wait!

Hi there. You did my group last year as well and we all loved our tats. I'm going to PM you about scheduling another large session.

Hey y'all! This is Karen, the other half of Kawoni Studios! I'm trying my hardest to navigate LJ and I'm all confused. LOL

I'll be working on getting more designs in the next few weeks. Hopefully we'll have a picture book together by then, too. A portable website photo gallery, if you will.

I'm so freaking excited I can't stand it.

What do I need to do to get an appointment on Thursday evening? We will be at the Marriot by early afternoon. If not available on Thursday evening, how do I get an appointment for early on Friday?

Do you do henna on faces?

Quick question: I've never done henna before but would love to and am wondering about allergic reactions. I'm allergic to some pretty weird stuff (eucalyptus for example) and that would be my only worry. I'd love to have my life symbol, a phoenix, done on my right shoulder if I can do it without having a reaction.

If there's a specific design that I'd like, do I need to bring a copy/picture of it with me or can I email it to you? They're both pretty simple designs...I'm probably gonna get on 2 different days. I have pics of the designs in about the same scale as I'd like them done. (That's one of them in my user pic...)

Oh and how do the tattoos hold up under, say, elbow length satin/satin-like opera gloves?

I am definitely interested but I'm not sure when I'm dressing up in the costume that I want one tattoo (the symbol in my user pic) done with and probably won't know until either the Dark Fantasy track schedule goes up or the main programming grid goes live. The other I'm not sure if it's going with a costume or not.

Gods but I feel like I've just put y'all through the Inquisition...

I was thinking of this one (referred to as "Republic Symbol"):

There is also the symbol the clone trainees wore

We finally booked our airline tickets. We're on a red-eye out of LAX Wednesday night, which means a really *really* early arrival Thursday morning. (But YAY for non-stop flights!)

By Thursday evening we may very well be walking zombies if there's no time for a nap. LOL, FYI on that one. We're starting to get Thursday appointments, so if you know when you can schedule, do it now! We've got an appointment book and everything!

Oooh!

I'd love to get one of these. However, I'm not sure as to scheduling yet, since things are still a bit vague for me on that front. :(

How far in advance do we need to book an appointment with you?
