The lasting impact of a temporary tattoo: a mother's fear for her daughter's future

A mother from England is warning parents about the dangers of henna tattoos after her 7-year-old daughter suffered a severe allergic reaction to black henna while on vacation in Turkey. The girl's tattoo of a butterfly left her with a chemical burn that required hospitalization. The family was not informed that black henna was being used, and the mother believes the reaction was caused by the presence of p-phenylenediamine (PPD), a common ingredient in black henna. She is urging parents to be cautious and ensure skin tests are done before getting henna tattoos.
