Ive heard about this before, but this poor lads leg was a right mess. Its going to take months to heal.
I think it ws in Greece somewhere, but the henna was mixed with hair dye FFS.

Ds2 and I had matching ones a couple of weeks ago.
Mine lasted longest so I won!

this is really dangerous, its not proper henna they use in places like greece, henna is browny red, what the use is black. be warned having this done i say from experience. i had a henna tattoo in greece came back home and had my hair coloured, im now allergic to hair colour. i had my hair coloured and my whole head swollen up. the doctors believe it was from this henna tattoo.

Absolutely no such thing as natural black Henna, they put nasty chemicals in it to make it that way which cause horrible reactions like that poor boy. I do my own too, less worrying that trusting some dodgy hippy at a festival

Can only find a story dated 2003, so I'm a bit confused - but then it's really late and I should be in bed!
