It is so funny how Western America tries to take everything and call
it their own. Many people once thought I was crazy when they saw
designs intricately placed on my hands and feet. Shortly after,
everyone wanted to have their bodies adorned with henna without even
knowing what it was for.
This practice has been around for centuries and the Western world is
now accepting henna. Suddenly everyone thinks its "cool" to have what
they call temporary "henna tatoos". We all know that tatoos are
permanent.
You need to STOP abusing the cultures and practices of people and
calling it your own. Find the beauty in your own culture and celebrate
in your own manner. Next time you migth not get away with only a few
burns.
