• Skin redness, 
• Blisters,
• Raised and oozing lesions
• Loss of skin pigmentation
• Increased sensitivity to sunlight
• Permanent scarring

In such cases, one often has incredibly sensitive skin or skin conditions. Either way, it is essential to seek medical care.

It is important to mentions that the adverse effects may not occur immediately upon using a temporary tattoo. In the majority of cases, the adverse effects occurred between 2 to 3 weeks later.

However, when it comes to temporary tattoos made from black henna, the general health-related opinion is much more strict and serious.

Black henna is nowadays marketed instead of traditional, natural henna. The black henna contains, as we mentioned, the chemical PPD, and its amounts in black henna are not regulated. Such henna can also contain just hair dye and no henna at all, in some cases.

However, when it comes to black henna and PPD, we cannot emphasize how dangerous this can be for everyone using this henna for a temporary tattoo!

The main reactions to black henna and PPD include;

• Tingling and burning skin
• The feeling of discomfort
• Severe redness of the skin
• Severe blistering of the skin
• Swelling of the area where black henna was applied
• Permanent skin damage and scarring
• Severe infections

The majority of people who have used black henna for a temporary tattoo have experienced chemical burns and serious allergic reactions, alongside the aforementioned adverse effects. It is also important to mention that neither black nor pre-mixed henna is approved by cosmetic and on-skin use by the FDA. These products should be avoided even if they’re sold in reputable stores.

Pre-mixed henna pastes are also known to contain ingredients like silver nitrate, carmine, disperse orange dye, chromium, and pyrogallol. All of these ingredients can cause serious allergic reactions, health problems, chronic inflammatory reactions, and late-onset allergic reactions as well.
