Ooh! My idea is spreading!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
It is! Speaking of which, Shir, do you know how to do a black tattoo? I know it can be done with henna and indigo, but I don't know exactly how.
eta Henna makes a reddish-brown tattoo on the skin, and indigo a blue one, right?

There's red and black henna, Zen. I read that in order to make the black dye stronger, it can be mixed with some juice from a lemon and tea.
If you'll find a good recipe, let me know. I never heard of indigo henna.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hello, my name is Indigo Henna. You tattooed my father. Prepare to die.
Sorry, am very tired right now....

Not indigo henna, indigo is its own thing. A plant, I suppose. It makes blue dye.
I think henna is only red; it has to be mixed with something else to make black. On hair, henna first and then indigo make black; I know this from Jilli's LJ! On skin, I doubt it works the same way, though.

Poor Indigo Henna doesn't exist. How will he avenge his father?

Most things labeled "black henna" are not safe! But yes, you can use indigo over henna to get black hair (which is what I do).
It looks like you can use indigo in the same way as henna for skin art.

If Indigo Henna doesn't exist, neither does his father. Problem solved.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If Indigo Henna doesn't exist, neither does his father.
It doesn't have to work that way round. It's Indigo's kids that are mandated out of existence. His father could just be using birth control.
