My gf just posted on facebook that she's doing Henna on a pg belly tonight.

Safe? Weird? Thoughts?

    I'm going to say no because i had a friend that had a reaction to it so bad that it left a scar in the shape if the fake tattoo.   It's been years and it never cleared up.

    I have never heard of anyone having such a bad reaction to henna before. I have done henna many times and never had a bad reaction.  I looked it up, and black  henna is not natural henna and has had bad side effects, like irishbaby described.  Natural henna dye, which is usually red/cinnamon/brown color won't hurt someone who is pregnant.  In some cultures, women celebrate pregnancy by getting henna tattoos.  I bet it is safe, as long as your friend uses natural henna, not the black henna, which is apparently bad for anyone- pg or not.  Here is a link- scroll down for the henna part:
