...sheeesh. i /still/ say: if you want *black* then get a permanent
tattoo. it really isn't all that bad - honest! i have lots! 8)
...i have a LOT of FUN adding mehndi designs to my existing permanent
tattoos - in fact, it has helped me figure out what i wish to add to
the vast array of art work i have managed to collect over the past
20+ years! 8)
...again: i adore the rich rusty brown colour of REAL natural henna!
and the fragrance! and the history and ritual of it all!
...thanx for letting me pitch pennies! :)

: I am wondering if black walnut shell could be added to henna in
order to darken the tint. If anyone has ever tried this or has
knowledge of weather or not black walnut is harmfull to the skin, i
would like to know.
