Last Rites Tattoo

Never get a "black henna" tattoo. These are made up of a paste that contains black hair dye. The black hair dye used to form this paste will cause severe allergies and permanent scarring.

Before obtaining a henna tattoo raise the artist what color the tattoo are going to be, how long you wish to depart on the paste and what ingredients they use in their paste. If the artist says the tattoo are going to be black, that they're going to take away the paste quickly or refuses to inform you the ingredients, those are all warning signs that they're using dangerous "black Henna". don't get a tattoo from that person.

There is no "safe" black henna. Henna leaves a reddish-brown stain solely once the paste has been left on the skin from 4-8 hours. All legitimate artists have a card or aftercare directions that list all of the ingredients they use in their paste.
