will.

do

I think you will unfortunately find that your an employee and thereby
bound by whatever rules they decide to shell out. Ok its your lunch
hour in your time....but your are on their property and you are using
henna on their employees....

the thing with people that are management is often they abuse the
right of power.... it basically comes down to this....you either put
up with it or get another job. it often doesnt matter if they
actually like the stuff or not.....it is in a place and on grounds
where you and everyone else is governed by company rules and
conduct....often temporary tattoos are not something that fits in
well with this.
