: Dear Henna Artists,

: Be informed that any brand paints being used in USA/Europe for skin
: designing and not at all safe for tattooing because painting is
: actually a coating on skin which blocks pores of skin to take
oxygen,
: this is great that these paints doesn't last more then 2-4days as I
: leart here. But all of my Coloured Henna Pastes including this
BLACK
: Henna Paste actually dyes the skin and skin pores remains in
natural
: way to take oxygen. As in April 2000 I have improved in the dying
: capacity of all of my cloured henna pastes so now the dyed skin
: remains vibrant for almost 2 weeks , then starts diminishing
: gradually, during all this period 'skin' pores remains in natural
: condition ( I mean no blockage of pores as in 'paints/liquids' )

: For the general people and artists interested in "SAFE" Black
tattoos,
: I confirms and assures that my Black Henna Paste is completely safe
: product for skin designing and anybody any age group can apply on
: their skin.

: P.S: I know I am not supposed to intervene in henna artists
: mutual discussion, but due to frequent warnings for Black Henna
usage
: on this page. I think I am justified to write here in order to
inform
: generally that my Black Henna Paste is not among that hazardous
stuff.


: : Hej Catherine,

: : What about products like Manic Panic or Punky Colour? I remember
: : reading something in a bodyart newsgroup about someone who wanted
to
: : paint a design on himself for a race and was looking for a semi-
: : permanent dye that wouldn't run once he started to sweat.
Someone
: : else suggest Manic Panic/Punky Colour/other coloured temporary
hair
: : dye. And in another newsgroup, goth fashion I think, there was
some
: : talk a year ago or so of using the Manic Panic/Punky Colour to
paint
: : designs on ones skin. (This group also had a little henna thread
: : going back then; haven't seen much of it recently.)

: : I tried to streak my hair with black Manic Panic when I was
younger,
: : but the dye wouldn't take to my hair. I finally threw out the
: : container a few months ago, otherwise I'd check that out.

: : --Anne

: : : I thought I'd find out how easy it is to purchase PPD, how
: : available it is .... like that. Here's what I found out:
: : : In the US nearly every "Black" hair dye has ppd in one form or
: : another. There were at least 5 different forms listed on various
: : boxes. Every grocery grocery and drug store has boxes of black
hair
: : dye with ppd. The most concentrated form is Bigen black hair
dye,
: : and that's at Sally Beauty supply.
: : :
: : : Can anyone buy a box of straight Bigen ppd black dye? Yup. No
: : license is required. No permit is required. There is no age
limit.
: : The health warnings on the package are minimal.
: : : Any 14 year old with $5.19 can go get enough Bigen ppd black
dye
: to
: : do "black henna" to cause a stunning amount of wreckage to their
own
: : and other's heath. No questions would ever be asked about the
: : intended use. The cashier would have little or no clue that PPD
is
: a
: : transdermal toxin, and would have no idea the person might indend
to
: : put it straight on the skin. The teenager would only know that
she'd
: : heard "black henna" looked groovy, and that she could make money
: : doing it.
