This IDIOT Influencer Got A Black Henna Mike Tyson Face Tattoo In Thailand And It's Now "Burning Into His Face" As Professionals Tell Him It Might Be Permanent

As it turns out, black henna is not safe. It can burn your face and leave permanent scarring. The more you know. Consider this weak blog about an influencer I've never heard of a PSA for anybody out there who plans on being drunk in Thailand in the near-or-distant future. 

I really want to make fun of this guy (former Nelk Boy Nick Nayersina) for being a big dumb moron. I mean, c'mon man... how could you be so fucking stupid? How could you think it's a smart idea to let some stranger in Bangkok cover half your face with strange black chemicals. Did you really not think anything could go wrong there? How much did that "temporary" tattoo cost? The equivalent of $2 USD? Of course the mystery ink is eating your face. Of course something is going horribly wrong. That's what you deserve for being so naive.

But I can't pretend to be better than this young man. I'd be lying through my keyboard if I sat here acting like there's no way that could have happened to me. I can picture it now. In a situation where I'm in my mid-to-late 20's, maybe on a bachelor party or something. It's late at night. My friends and I are drunk in a foreign country. I'm feeling rich because American money goes SO FAR over there. I'm throwing around dollar bills like a rapper at a strip club. Then we stumble upon a henna tattoo shop, and one of my friends suggests getting Mike Tyson face tattoos. There was absolutely a time in my life where I'd have said yes to that. I honestly still might. I might have done so completely sober, without thinking twice about it. It's only a harmless little henna tattoo. There's an Indian women with a kiosk dishing those out at every mall in America. Never would I have thought the ink used for henna would contain, "paraphenylenediamine (PPD), a toxic chemical which is exempt from approval by the FDA."

Apparently there's the difference between "mall kiosk henna" and "black henna". But again… if I see a store in Bangkok selling "black henna" tattoos, all my dumb brain is going to think is, "Perfect. I certainly don't want a green one. Sign me up!"

Thank god and me and my friends were far too broke to travel to Thailand back in the day. Because there's not a chance in hell I would have considered permanent scarring as a possible end result of that. I'd think worst case scenario would be one of us has a hard time washing it off, and when we get back to the states. someone has remnants of Mike Tyson on his face. Which would be pretty funny in its own right.

I bet this guy's buddies, the ones who's faces didn't have a terrible allergic reaction to the black henna, are having the time of their lives laughing at him. This is probably the funniest thing that's ever happened to them. It'd be one thing if their scarred up friend was a school teacher, or had a serious job where a Mike Tyson face scar would cause a serious issue. But if this happens to your rich influencer friend?… well that's just hilarious. I'd be laughing in his face the whole plane ride home. "HA!!! You softskinned bitch!!! Can't handle a little black henna, huh?! All that time sitting in front of a ring light must have softened you up. Hope all those likes and subscribes were worth it!"

Anyways… don't get a black henna tattoo, folks. Consider this a warning. They don't always come off. Well… the ink will come off. But it might leave behind a permanent life changing scar. I'm looking at some pictures right now of black henna tattoo's gone wrong… and holy shit. Imagine this being on your face…

Yikes, Nick! I'm sure he'll be fine though. I just found another example of the exact same thing happening to some British kid back in 2017, and his face looks almost perfectly normal now.
