My (technically second) first time with henna

Here's a somewhat graphic photo of my first try with some henna from a couple weeks ago. I bought it off ebay for a couple bucks. I thought it was supposed to be brown, but it was actually gold. It wasn't as dark as I wanted, but it was just for practice ... And my boyfriend was glad it wasn't so dark! 

I say "technically second" because minutes before my boyfriend shaved his thigh for me, I was practicing on my foot. That turned out slightly more embarrassing so I didn't bother photographing that one lol 

Not too bad for my first time! It's supposed to be a flower with vines. I got much of the design from a few pictures I was looking at. 

I want to practice more skills and shapes before I venture off and create my own style.
