Experts Urge Caution When Getting Tattoos
Henna tattooing is traditionally an Indian body decoration that started about 5,000 years ago. It’s supposed to be all natural, but a banned form of the popular non permanent skin dye is still being used.
NewsCenter 5′s Shiba Russell reported Friday that Kelly Supko got her first permanent tattoo four months ago, so when the Supko family went on a Florida vacation two weeks ago, her three daughters decided they wanted body art in the form of a nonpermanent henna tattoo.
After the henna faded, red, itchy blisters in the shape of the tattoo design were left behind. Supko said that she believes the henna used on her children was what is known as black henna.

Dermatologist Dr. Margaret Weiss said that PPD is a form of hair dye that is used to give a quicker darker result, but it also has a long lasting health risk in the form of potentially severe allergic reactions.
Weiss said natural henna is safe and has been used for thousands of years.
