“Viva las Vintage Days” was in full swing over the weekend. Artist Orhan Erkin’s booth, Erkin Henna and Body Art, provided temporary body art.

The ink Erkin uses comes from Henna, a plant that is used in the Middle East and India to create temporary skin art.

When the ink is applied to the skin, it stains down through the outer layer and lasts for the better part of a month and will slowly fade away leaving the skin looking like new.
