I hear indigo molecules are bigger and won't penetrate skin as well,
it just washes off.

: I am curious to know why indigo isn't used for body art as henna
is?
: i know indigo stains faster and darker than henna when used on
hair,
: so why is it not used to make designs on the skin? is it
considered
: unsafe or does it not last on skin as well as henna? maybe indigo
is
: used, and i don't know about it. any input would be greatly
: appreciate, thanks!
