: Hello,
:
: I am a henna artist in Seattle, WA, USA and I am deeply concerned
: about the growing reports of "black henna". I came across your
: website and was shocked to see NO MENTION of the fact that what you
: are using is a NEUROTOXIN, and is NOT henna.
: Contrary to your claims that so-called "black henna" is "safe to
use",
: chemists, doctors, and many other knowledgeable professionals know
: otherwise. There are numerous reports being collected by the good
: folks at hennapage.com detailing the exact chemical dangers of PPD
: "Black Henna". PPD, or para-phenylendiamine, is known by the world
: health organization (among others) to be a toxin. The handling
: specifications mention not to breathe it and NOT to let it touch
the
: skin! By selling and applying this known transdermal toxin, you
are
: not only endangering others but harming yourself as well as any
: children or pets who may be nearby.
: In case you didn't know, henna is a plant and has been in use for
over
: 7,000 years. It does not "come in black" or cause kidney and liver
: damage as well as chemical burns. Nor does it enter the
bloodstream
: like PPD.
: PLEASE, educate yourselves about the danger you are doing to your
: clients' as well as your own health! Please visit
www.hennapage.com
: to learn more, and discover the healing magic of traditional henna
: body art.
: Finally, henna is *NOT* a tattoo. The word "tattoo" refers to the
: repetitive motion of a needle entering the skin. Henna does not
use
: needles, so your use of the word "tattoo" is very misleading.
: I speak for a growing number of real henna artists who are sick and
: tired of seeing chemical burns and illness caused by poison being
sold
: as henna. You are giving us a bad name.

the word tattoo does not mean the repetitive motion of needles it
means to mark the skin with patterns. Which ever way you do this
comes within this context. So we are all tattooists. Henna is a
permanent dye however the epidermis is not therefore it does not
pattern does not last.
