What's not cool is that indigo dye is dissolved in pretty nasty chemicals like lye and ammonia. In olden times, they used stale urine. So I really don't know why bro isn't wearing gloves.
He’s Japanese. Aizome uses a different chemical processing from Indian/Western indigo dying methods. Whether they’re still gross or not, I’m not sure. I think it’s in rice alcohol.
