It's not wierd at all. I've hennaed several men. I also use indigo to paint designs, many men seem to prefer that but it's a painstaking application process often taking several applications for the indigo to stain the skin the desired color. The Rampant Lion Shield was done on my husband.
Ancient celtic (mostly Norse Celtic) warriors used a form of temporary bodily marking to apply protective symbols on their bodies. Many Middle Eastern men still henna themselves as a status symbol, protection from enemies, and for luck. It's definitely not just for women. Warriors would also henna themselves so that upon their demise, whosoever finds their bodies could identify their rank, religion, clan and so on.
