First of all it is totally untrue that paler people don't stain! It's
about Ph and circulation, not pigment. That's why when I'm really
athletic and *not* just about to get my period, my hands will go black
cherry. Regularly.
Like you, Anne, I am not gothic but sort of a recovering goth. I wear
mostly black (for hennaing I add red, purple, and silver), and I
mostly burn, although can tan a bit too. I have a reddish-blue tinge
to my coloring (what in the 80s was called "winter") with
blondish-brownish hair and hazel eyes. I have always wanted red or
black hair to be more naturally goth, but after learning about PPD
there is no WAY I'll dye it again! And guess what - I always get
good, consistent stains, unless I forget about lotion or sunscreen.

going back into the crypt now,
