I don't know about you but there have been oh so many times I've stared at the intricate tattoos wreathing my Asian friends arms in absolute jealousy. Something about the curling script and almost vine leaf like spirals I find incredibly pretty, yet due to laziness/ lack of funds I've never actually tried it myself, This henna pen, £12.99 from Miss Groovy lets you do it yourself from the comfort of your own home. The pen works much like a double ended felt tip with a thicker end for larger lines and a smaller tip for creating more intricate work. The pen is filled with henna extract and dries extremely quickly once it has touched the skin.
The design lasts for a few days, and then fades away and it's really easy to use. We've passed it round the office and the results are unanimous- it's childsplay. The problem lies in the fact that not everyone has an artistic side. You think you can't mess up squiggles- you're wrong! It might mean you end up looking like you've stuck you arm in a compost heap but practise makes perfect. It's available in four colours so when you get good you can start creating some really pretty designs.
