Henna stain part 1

The flash has washed it out a bit but yes, the stain on my arm is much lighter than the stain on my hand. Why? Because where the skin is thicker (ie. callouses etc) it absorbs more dye from the henna.
When the henna paste is first removed from the skin the stain looks almost pumpkin orange. Over the next few days the stain will oxidize and shift to a darker red/brown colour. I'll post pics as it goes along.
These pictures were taken this morning right after I removed the dried henna paste. It's too bad I have to go to work today or else I would be seriously tempted to leave it on longer to try for an even deeper stain.
