![]() To dye for: above, Athena Calderone, left, with Erica Domesek. Chop, chop: below: the duo's organic ingredients. Recipe and directions: Add chopped beetroot, red cabbage and turmeric to separate pots of boiling water along with two tablespoons of vinegar. Let the pots simmer for approximately 30 minutes then use a strainer to separate the vegetables from the liquid. Carefully place two hard-boiled eggs into jars filled with dye. For light hues, soak eggs for approximately 30 minutes. For darker hues, soak overnight. Get creative and mix ingredients to create an assortment of colours. Finally remove all eggs and once completely dried decorate with tattoos. (You can personalise tattoos with your own design by using printable tattoo sheets).
