Hi there,
I have absolutely no personal experience with indigo to go on,
however I have seen here on the boards that a lot of people find
indigo washing out really quickly (so if you loved the black you got
it would be sad, but good if you want to get it out!)
If you have the time to search the archives, I know there have been
people successful in covering unhappy indigo results with henna, and
it seems to do a pretty good job. Don't forget to give the "Light
Mountain" stuff a miss and go for body art quality (can be got
online, try the suppliers page) Hope this helps.
