Henna painting - Whole Blood and Components

Also known as: hina, mehndi

Essential information

See if relevant: Body piercing
Additional information: Traditional henna painting (also known as mehndi or hina) is sometimes referred to as tattooing but it does not involve skin piercing and so does not represent a transfusion hazard. The dye binds permanently with proteins in the skin and so the effect can last several months.
