Come to think of it, there's also the meme of the badass bikers with words on their first finger joints. Huh. Maybe it's just something about the side of the finger, or going all the way down in a continuous line. Or maybe there was bad information involved somewhere - it was already thirdhand by the time I got it. *shrug* Well, at least I know more now, though I think I'll probably stick with henna anyway ;)

Yeah, pretty much exactly like that :3 Gelly Rolls were really popular around my parts for that.
