My henna mandala Well, here we are, holed up in our homes, quarantined. What to do, What to do? What I seem to be doing is working like crazy on all the projects that were in the works before the crisis hit. Because, it won’t last forever, right? And when it’s over and we get …
What does your tattoo mean to you? We’d love to hear your story!
