If you are thinking about having a temporary black henna tattoo on your next holiday to Bali, please reconsider the apparent risks involved.

Natural brown henna can be replaced at places like Bali and Thailand with black which leaves permanet scaring from a potent chemical called PPD or paraphenylenediamine.

If this product is put on and left for a long period, people have a high risk of becoming alergic to it which means you will be alergic to it for life. The best advice you can have is to stay clear of getting black henna tattoos in Bali.
