"henna" means hair dye. If you are using it as a tattoo, it is not henna.
a) TATTOO; noun (Dutch taptoe) - "signal calling soldiers or sailors to quarters at night; figuratively say no more"
b) all words suggest meaning to those consenting to ignore predefined meaning (perceivable sound). Consenting to suggested words gives those suggesting the power to define; redefine and contradict the suggested meaning at will.

I'm aware of staining (dyeing)... STAIN, verb - "to blot; to soil; to spot with guilt or infamy; to tarnish; to bring reproach on" and of those who suggest "art" (artificial) to tempt others to ignore natural.
As the temporary (living) one needs to resist the ongoing (process of dying), not mimic it by trying to stain the temporary (body) with suggested permanence (tattoo).
The few suggest temporary body-art to tempt the many to want to hold onto it, hence a gateway-drug to permanent body-art. To re-balance this...embrace the moment when painter expresses upon living canvas, then wash it off to pay response-ability to ongoing origin...the naturally perceivable underneath the artificially suggested.
Your awareness is limited.
You are a detriment to discourse.
