: Email me if you want the instructions on how to do the technique using : just plain henna in this picture. It's mostly harmless (though : ammonia is stenchy and can be stingy) , it's traditional, and at least : it is in the hands of the person who does it. Not yours. This one : has been partially blackened with ammonia (trying to imitate a : Renaissance ink on parchment drawing)..... and sinister because I am : severely right handed, and I did this one with my left hand on my : right. (The drawing wasn't too bad, but I can't seem to hold and : focus the camera worth a damn with my left.) : The dye in question is ppd. Don't use anything that has ppd anywhere : in its ingredient list. (don't use anything that DOESN'T have an : ingredient list!) You can seriously harm yourself and your clients if : you use it. There are certainly alternatives to inflicting chemical : burns on yourself and others with a known toxin. :
