Get Inked: Free Henna Tattoo Workshop!

The Bay's best newsletter for underground events & news


I have a love/hate relationship tattoos. I’ve finally settled on something that I like, but I can’t take the idea of being repeatedly poked with a needle AND paying a ridiculous amount of money for it. Though I think that henna is sometimes misconstrued as hippie bullshit, its an interesting body art concept that has been ruined by the onset of tribal tattoos and tramp stamps. Instead of getting another butterfly tattoo or some other excuse to lift up your shirt and show some dude your butt cleavage, dip your pen in some culture ink and create your own designs with an expert FOR FREE. Who knows, might be a good second date — you can get tattoos together that will last just about as long as your relationship.

Henna Lounge: Demonstration and Hands-On Workshop
Sunday, November 15th, 1-3pm
Bureau of Jewish Education Community Library
1835 Ellis Street at Farren Street [Western Addition]
FREE!

Monica Miller - The Intern

Ms. Miller was born in San Diego, CA to one lesbian mother and one
righteous, cheap father. Currently, she is enrolled at San Francisco
State University for a B.A. in Journalism and the approximate
completion date is around 2015. She has worked for many papers in the
Bay Area, including the Oakland Tribune and the San Mateo Country
Times and is currently the city editor at one of the most
underappreciated publications in SF, the Golden Gate [X]press. Though
she may find bargains aplenty, it only stems from the necessity of
never landing an actual job and working for hacks [like Stuart.] With
intelligence, style, poise, bite, and honesty, she will rip your heart
out; but not before writing some awesome, poignant shit. This year,
she is looking forward to bigger and better things such as: trying to
get paid for a gig, actually finding a date that isn't a loser or
fucking crazy, not calling her parents when hungover and bringing you
the best of the 7x7 everyday of the week. [By the way, I wasn't
kidding about the date thing; if you love food, booze and shoegaze,
get at me.]
