However, I see that the more posts are not regarding the advancement of henna application and usage. It's called negative publicity. This black PPD site (I refuse to even call it "henna") is getting more hits and purchases because you fools are posting so much about them that everyone wants to see it. You can ramble about black PPD as much as you want, get legislation against it in England and all of Europe, there will always be some deranged, profit-oriented freak who will supply the demand for black PPD. As a matter of fact, how come it is not illegal in the US? All of you that type from US cities, why don't you get legislation passed by the US Congress to ban the use of PPD and fine those who do heavily? To get back to the subject of my concern, my own interpretation of a tattoo, pardon my french and all the dictionaries and encyclopaedias in the whole wide world, is AN IMPRINT ON THE SKIN, no matter how temporary or permanent it is. Because after all, the ink needle- injected "tattoos" are just more permanent than one of henna, by a few years. Therefore henna imprints on the skin are nothing else but a tattoo, a short lasting one you can over and over again. By this rationale, everyone that performs the drawing on someone's body is a tattooist. Maybe it is hard to swallow, but the folks out in festivals and such places do see henna artists on the same level as a tattooist or the performer of any act/service. Some of us would like to elevate themselves by trying to believe otherwise. I apply henna on my friends and others for the beautiful smiles they give me, nothing else. I do not care about black PPD because I don't use it. I don't even mention it in my design books. I'm not interested in surfing the sites that sell it or mention it. One last thought on a very personal note, this forum is turning into a co-ed sewing circle (thus, the title). I hope you enjoyed the thoughts. PLUR, daniel
