FREE BODY ARTS: Henna & Alcohol Tattoos
Hello! I’m Mun, a Como snowbird RV resident who enjoys doing temporary body art tattoos. I have henna, which dries on your skin in about two hours; washing it off leaves an orange stain, which turns brown the next day – it fades completely after about three weeks. I also have several colors of alcohol ink, which dries instantly and lasts up to three days. I do this only for fun, not for money. Contact me at 215-720-9404 – or, if you see me dragging my wagon behind me at the pool or elsewhere, and I would be so happy to give you the art you want. I can also do private sessions if you’re shy.
The Lake Como Yacht Club invites all boat owners to a grand regatta every Sunday at 2 pm, weather permitting. Passage for land-lubbers may be available from some boat captains at the floating dock.
