Dear CCJ, I found a source, The Use and Function of Tattooing of
Moroccan Women by Susan Searight. It is a 3 volume set and it is a
great source. According to the book: The ingredients for making uo
herqus are varied: wood or other ashes, pitch spices(she didn't
specify which)nut-gall, tamarid fruit, pot-black, indian ink, pitch
walnut skins leaves or black kohl. They can be used separately or
mixed together with water or oil. I don't think I'd like to play with
pitch or ashes. I think black kohl mixed with olive oil, may be safe.
As we all stress do a patch test. I'll test it and let you know
results.... Blessings, christine
