In post I stated that at the time I had mine done, I had no idea it was dangerous. If I had of course I wouldn't have had it done!

As to those who did it...well either they know and don't care ( it promoted as traditional and natural) or they are too are ignorant of it's effects.
I suppose you can fool a silly tourist into beleiving this is the same as the temporary tattoing used in North Africa and they aren't going to be able to report you to any trading standards office at home in Northern Europe or in the USA nor do they fear you will come back and beat them up!

The rest of you can learn from the gullible and stupid tourists like me who went before you.
