Tattoo over Imprint left from a black Henna design??

Posted by Michelle on February 22, 2000 at 14:43:32:

I too had problems in August '99, when I
got a black henna tatto on my arm. Well, I had some
allergic reaction to it, and went to see a doctor as I was
advised by members of this message board to do. The doctor
told me that for people of color (I am a black female),
henna causes the pigment of our skin to change, long after
the Henna is gone. She then advised me that it could take anywhere
from 6 to 9 months for it to fade. I do not have a scar. And if it
didn't, I could then try bleaching cream ( I don't want to do that).
It still remains, and though I like the design, I think I want to
tattoo over it ( I already have a tattoo on my leg, for 6 years
now,and have had no problems with it). Does anyone know of any
problems with getting a tatto over an area where a henna design was
placed? Please
respond..Thanks..
