California Influencer Nick Nayersina was on a trip to Bangkok with friends when a late-night tattoo decision spiraled into a week-long medical scare. Everyone, take notes on what not to do in Thailand.
In an Instagram video posted on Nov. 14, Nick explained that he and five of his friends decided to get matching Mike Tyson-style black henna face tattoos while drunk. They got the work done from a street-side artist in the city, and woke up in agony the next day. What Nick did not know at the time was that black henna is considered unsafe in the U.S. It is known to potentially cause burns, infections, and permanent scarring due to the presence of chemical additives.
