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.
I would like to thank our many Secret Santas & elves who helped make our Giving Tree project a great success. This year the Giving Tree held 50 gift tags & in record time the tags were selected, shopped for, returned to Santa’s Depot (B.C.C.), & picked up by Santas sled team in time for many happy Christmas’. Thank you, dear ones, and have “A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS”. Love from a fellow elf.
–Tracey
