Black food coloring is available from cake making suppliers ..... and it will stain your skin for about 2 days. It will, however, stain your clothing , your linoleum, carpet, towels, everything else it touches just about PERMANENTLY. It will only stain your skin for 2 days or so because the dye molecules are too large to easily breach the skin cells and bind with them. It will stain everything else because fibers (and some plastic) are much more porous. If you email me I can send you info on how to get your henna on your hands to go black and very dark brown in the traditional way used in North Africa and Medieval Persia.
