Ammonia, or something that has a very high ph (13) like camel urine or
bat urine, can be used to percipitate the red dye molecules bound in
your skin to black. This does NOT work on anything other than palms
and soles, because the rest of your skin is too thin . Where the skin
is thin, the caustic nature of ammonia will cause exfoliation faster
than percipitation. It also is not good on palms and soles that are
thin and soft. It works fine on me. This is the technique used to
make henna black in North Africa.
I have the instructions for this .... email me. Don't just fool
around with it, or you could hurt yourself.
