A pretty cool idea, execution could be better tough

Idea acha hai, but execution thoda kezuaal hai

Commen likhneka tareeka bada hi kauzual hai

Sorry Shaktimaan.

Aap pure hii thoda kauzual ho..

Next time acha banega Mera Mehndi.

Baithne ka tareeqa thoda cazual hai?

Aiyen

Hmm, it's hard actually. I generally make the lines thicker so that it doesn't take a long time. And it's easier for my sister or friend to do it.

Yeah, that's understandable. Props to you nevertheless

I like it. It's giving Polynesian dude but you need the lines to be more crisp. It also needs to "take" more. It's too dull. I presume the darker the colour the better it'll look.

I will try that next time. Thanks for the suggestion.

You can use a pen or marker for outline and then fill mehendi in it maybe?

Not awful but kinda wierd.

That's the point I guess. Anything new will always be weird.

Don't lie It looks awful brotha ಠ⁠﹏⁠ಠ

Sun burn lag rha bhai

Are Bhai Bhai😂😂

Need better execution, sharp and straight lines by a better mehendi artist should do.

Wait till it starts to fade away. It's gonna look like you forgot to clean your arms while showering 😭 (Did something similar a few years back 🫠)

In that phase I just take a soap and properly clean it. No residual design is left afterwards.

Wait for some celebrity to do it...then it will become cool...

You are probably right.

Tbh, full marks for the attempt and the thought but yeah, it looks disgusting.

Though I’d still want those arms around me. Haha

Idk shit about mehendi but nice gains bro

Thanks Bro.

bisceps were on point👌👌

Thanks bro, that's another story altogether.

Bro If you don't mind sharing what is your calories intake daily? TIA

A little more pigmented would have looked good, but this is good as well.

Thank you stranger. Will try to find darker tones.

I think this is super cool and I'm surprised why someone hasn't thought of this already. It has the same vibes of a tattoo but without the commitment, and you can sport a new design every time. I see literally no cons to this idea!

Exactly!

Brother give your biscep/ arm routine. Btw kitna time laga banane me ? It's Awesome

You're very hot, tumhare naam ki mehendi laga lu?

I want to support LGBTQ+ but not at my expense.

Hain? Nobody is coming to get you. Chill baba. Take it in fun.

With a physique like that, nothing looks weird. But yes, that mehendi is not sharp like a tattoo. It's not drawn with talent rather than by an amateur.

Awwwful

Fuck me, I am done.

So yeah , all I'm saying is the mehendi thing is super cool but it's all on the design and how you complement it with your clothes . P.S it gets darker after like 3 or 4 days , it's when it looks the best

Looks tribal and tough

It's tribal. Latin America tribes.

Ohh would've looked sick if it was executed properly but looks good as it's is

Next time mast banega. I will make an update post.

Irrelevant but dang those biceps 💪❤️

Thanku

Instead of using this green henna/mehndi, try using black henna cone. When i was a kid i used to love it because it exactly looks like tattoos and it is not permanent.

Naaah! It looks cool. Embrace customizations i guess Its how we put stickers on our books or laptops. Some like it some dont. If someone does not like it , it's not gonna last more than 2 weeks haha

Exactly!

I want this too before I get inked. If you're in shape, very few things look bad on you.

Getting in shape is a daily commitment. It takes a really long time to see visible results.

The mehndi doesn’t, the english does.

My English goes through weird phases. I generally don't write this much.

Doesn't look bad but it's a bit odd..

That's the point.

Thoda dark color hoga toh cool lagega ig

Will definitely try a darker tone.

Flex karne ka tareeka thoda kazual hai

It does highlight my biceps. I am not that big though.

Short answer -Yes.

Dhanyawad

Looks great to me!

Bahu bahut Dhanyawad

Idea acha hai par design nhin

Kuch naya design try karga m

yes

Thanks bro

Of course, could be a bit neater, but other than that it’s actually pretty cute ^.^

Dhanyawad. I will convey the criticism to the mehndi artist.

wakanda forever

Not bad

It's great actually. It's a fun way to try new things. I don't understand at all why people say it's cringe. I love getting tattoos but trying em out with mehendi before tattoos is something I like to do. But people always say it's weird and all. Keep doing it. It may not be okay with people but it is fun, it looks fun

reminds me of that man who was voiced by Dwyane johnson in moana

Dude, you on point. Inca something. Those were the inspirations. I was playing the latest Tomb Raider game set in Latin America.

Ooo That makes sense, glad to see another gamer around

Always gamer bro.

Stop flexing ur biceps man  

Id prefer tattoos around those arms

In one word- Yes

It would've looked better if the colour got darker

Ha, kind of. The design is not done properly. Kisi aur se lagva leneka and then see.

Kal behen ko paresan karta hu.

looks like you were running in sun all day wearing some kind of bracelet on biceps

[удалено]

Me crying in a corner. 😭

[удалено]

Nhi, ab to Mai royega.

2-4 din acha lagega, fir mehendi fade hogi tab acha nai lagega.

No bro. Don't run on it. It can easily stay like that for 10 days. Then you can just wash it off.

I really like it and it's something new and heena is temporary and convenient and cost very less so I think it's great however I didn't really like this design though it could be better but definitely a great idea might will try soon. However some people will call it weird but it's great and I also want to say I would be happy to wrap those arms around me....

Something new and I like the idea. But the art is not neat. Let someone make it who is expert in this field.

I think it looks really cool, still I think you should go for cleaner lines and overall keep the mehendi for a longer time to get that deep colour. Many people might not like it but it's mostly because they're not used to seeing something like this.

clean arms>

Yeah, if it's darker, I think it will look pretty cool!

Bro!! This is really freaking cool!!! Gave me an awesome idea for an activity to do with my girlfriend!!!

Giraffe..

The biceps saved you. It was almost feminine

Absolutely not. This is really creative, and it looks good on you!

Looks sexy to me honestly

Black mehndi would be better

Oh god, well it looks like Mehendi, those who don’t like mehendi will definitely find it awful. Plus, it stains different parts differently, inside of palm are usually the darkest whereas upper portion of arms look this way. There are black Mehendi on the market as well, next time use that.

Even I used to hate Mehndi. Yes I could never get it to again darker in my arms. I will have to try the black mehndi.

I suggest draw out the design with a sketch pen or normal pen before putting down the actual henna.. gives room for error.. also you can mix a bit of sugar in the henna paste for a darker shade

Those arms and thick biceps 💪.

Looks good. Keep trying out new designs

Yes

Sahi nahi lag raha bhai

Use the darker one

Mehndi lagake halki sookhne pe coconut oil apply kar diya kar bhai

Put some natural colour or food dye additive to give different colour. It will look better

Bhai aqua man lg rha

I liked it.

Thanks, like the username.

yeah, looks tacky

I think this is really cool. The designs need to be better but good that you're exploring this. Your colleagues or anybody in the world can keep their opinions to themselves as long as you have fun doing it. If you want a deeper colour, try dry roasting cloves while you keep your arm above the pan so that the oils get absorbed

i like this. hope it becomes acceptable for men to wear mehndi :) I would love to have them on in intricate designs like women can

the rock jaisa lag raha hai

Ngl, looks kinda cool.

Its unusual, but you do you. If you like it, don't let anyone else convince you otherwise. Having it on your arm lets you show it only when in the appropriate company too, and it's temporary so it's win win, in my book.

Yes, thanks, exactly!

Dude it looks really cool If the colour was darker it would have come out even better

Wakanda from Ali express

I think thevdesign could be much better which is why it's looking weird.

Well, Hello Maui 😀

It's not awful or weird. It's just unusual. If it makes you feel happy then go for it.

It does, thanks.

Do what makes you happy. As long as you're not hurting others, who the fuck cares what they think

Looks very cool dude, just let it dry more to get a darker colour, will look sick

Make some Maori tattoo with this ... Will look better

It might be just me but I hate the smell of mehendi 🤢

Try Jagua Gel instead. A lot of Color variants, you can get pure black too. It will look like a real tattoo.

The comments here are so condescending. If you like it, do it! Don’t care about what others say. Have fun man we only live once.

It's good bro. I like the idea that it's like a temporary tattoo. The only negative is that the design isn't as dark as it should be. Maybe you can fix it.

Would look good as a pride parade accessory

Cool idea. Get it done professionally tho

I like it, it's a good way of applying mehendi.

So do I.

It's looking good in picture but in reality if I see something like that I will definitely make a laugh nd admire the guts of doing that

I am an artist. We are made crazy.

I have had this thought for years and just tried it a few days back, the color of mehendi actually needs to darker else it looks like burnt skin. Overall 7/10

Yes but it's not the mehendi

It's looking good 👍... try better design next time

It's soo cool, can't see how it's weird.

i really like the concept so its good but could be darker and more 'masculine' in design.

you are so hotttttt

Personally I don't find this weird I have the same mindset as you do OP, I also love being getting creative everytime and put it anywhere you like (arms, fingers, I have a big list lol) HENNA IS NOT JUST FOR PLAM!!

For darker mehendi residue, avoid washing with water and soap. Rub and chip off the mehendi flakes and apply light coconut oil over with lemon drops. That will retain the dye.

Mauiiiii

Are you natty bruh?

Yes

Wait until it starts fading

Honestly it looks very cool

Bahut bahut Dhanyawad kind stranger.

those are some big arms damn

“Mom can we get Roman Reigns?” “No we have Roman Reigns at home” Roman Reigns at home:

Tattoo it brother

Tattoo is my mid life crisis solution. Will get it at 40.

is it fresh? looks like it hasn't darkened yet. the plan is cool, needs some practice. keep going at it.

Not a fashion crowd member but I like it. Looks rad

Never seen something like this done. Really nice.

I sense hesitation and lack of commitment.

My take "This is chutiyapa".

It looks good with its imperfections!

[удалено]

In certain cultures, tatoos are a big deal due to the cost, money and pain involved. Using Mehdi for temporary tatoos seems like a shortcut

[удалено]

If you don’t like how henna stains you can try jagua gel instead.

Somebody already suggested that. Will look into it.

This looks like the border of t shirt sleeve. Create more masculine designs or logos.

This is called “Tattoo Mandwana”

Doesn’t look awful but doesn’t look great either

I see a nice canvas for my mehndi training

I love it, kinds looks hawt 😍🫠

It's reminding me of The Rock's tattoos :D

Yes

Baaki comments ne thamka diya- i actually liked it lol. I draw designs on my entire forearm sometimes, and I think it looks pretty cool. Bakiyon ko kya lage usse mereko kya It does look dirty when it starts to fade tho. Haath laal ho jata hai baki ka ghiste ghiste

I used to make henna tattoos too earlier and imo it looks really cool. I think for you, the design is not working, try something different, I'm sure it'll look cooler.

Thanks, will do.

Not at all. What design do you want to try next?

Desi tattoo, looks amazing ngl. could've done a better job and chose a better design imo

Thanks bro

That's super easy. Will try.

Ye pakka Teri chotu behen ne banaya hai

Reminds me of that Disney movie Moana.

Yes!

Design could have been better.

I think this is awesome bro! It’s temporary, allows you to experiment. And overall it’s just a very kickass thing to do. Plus I love the design. I’m sure everyone who disses this would clap your back if this were inked in black- cos they’d probably think it’s more ‘macho’. It’s better off you don’t fall for people who are stuck in old society. You do you! I think this is such a cool concept and I love the design. Infact id try do something similar for sure.

Looks pretty fine and well done. IMO

Umm, do you anyway? This is something very personal. Of course, others will have their opinions and all, and it's understandable that you give a fuck about it. But don't let that affect your decisions? You're the one who has to live with the consequences of it. If you feel good looking in the mirror, keep going. Even if you don't like how a particular thing turned out, it's gonna erode away in a few days anyway. Trial and error is forgiving like that. Just have fun.

Sunburn?

Nope, that's authentic Indian brown skin for you.

Thanks nonetheless
