It is really cool to do. I once attended a quick workshop on it - then
we got to decorate large sugar cookies with icing using mehndi designs.
Fun!
I know that you do have to be careful about what you use - some stuff
will cause allergic reactions.
DON'T just buy henna at the local drugstore/health food store. It's not
the same thing as the henna used for mehndi.

Subject: [teacherartexchange] Henna Mendhi tattoing. Anyone done this?
I would like to try this. Can anyone give me some insight into
material, safety/allergic reaction issues, etc. Not sure how safe it is
for kids and what's the best dye to get.
Thanks,
