Good Lord! Now I know what not to attempt.

: ruined their hennaes completely!

I'm working on some 'disclaimer' papers for after the henna is
applied and wrapped using tape. Does anyone else have anything like
this? In the vein of, "when the henna is taped down DO NOT lift the
tape until the henna has been on long enough to stain the skin,
approx. 4-6 hours and preferably overnight. Lifting the tape before
this may ruin the henna design, and the artist is not liable for any
damamges incurred in this manner."

Does that sound workable?
