In many states, legally, you CANNOT TOUCH a teenager ( and this may
extend to henna, temporary tattoos or anything of the sort). The
teenager cannot legally give you permission to touch them and their
parents can't give permission either. However.....the enforcement of
this is mostly non-existant. Ask a local beautician (they have to
know ALL the laws about touching and beautifying another person, not
only in four part harmony, but with full orchestration and choir), to
quote you regulations on the subject, chapter and verse. Then, use
your own judgement. Just NEVER, NEVER do anything to another person
that will harm them, especially "ppd black henna" ! .
If parents get fussy, you could have the full plague of the law upon
you, so know the law before you start. You never know when some damn
fool will decide that henna is the mark of the whore of Babylon
(which, historically, it probably was ... but is this actually a
problem for someone?)
