Being temporary tattoos, they may seem harmless. We tell all the precautions you should take.
Differences between conventional and henna tattoos
First, consider the difference between a conventional and a henna tattoo. In standard we are actually making a wound in the dermis, which is the layer that lies below the epidermis (the top layer of the skin). The epidermis is constantly renewed but the dermis tends to stay the same. Therefore, if we inject ink directly on this layer, the drawing will not be erased. Furthermore, in henna tattoos, no ink injected below the skin but directly apply dye in the outer layer.
Temporary henna tattoos seem a good alternative when we want to get a tattoo and are not sure they want to take the plunge. Conventional tattoos are irreversible and may in the future we repent. So many people try to get temporary tattoos first before deciding on a permanent one. They are cheaper, are not painful and most importantly, eventually disappear. However, it has been found that are not as harmless as previously thought at first, involve risks that are difficult to predict.
Natural Henna is a vegetable dye that has been used for centuries in India, it looks red and comes from Lawxonia inermis plant. Being completely natural, does not trigger health risks. The problem occurs when the natural henna is mixed with a substance called para-phenylenediamine (PPD). It is a chemical that gives this blackish color. We can also find in other products that stain, such as inks for printers, hair dyes, colorings, polishes for shoes, pens, etc. In products such as hair dyes or colorings PPD concentration is around 6%. When we talk about applying the product on the skin PPD allowable concentration it is 2%. However, the PPD in black henna is 15%, a very high figure. Unfortunately, although this type of henna is illegal, there is no control over these practices and is common even see stalls where done, especially in tourist areas such as markets or promenades. In most of these places they are not even aware of all hazards involving these types of tattoos, only dedicated to them because the black henna is very cheap and there is a wide range of benefits.

Risks of henna tattoos
There is no risk of disease transmission by injection as in traditional tattoos, but the likelihood of an allergic reaction is very high. The result is inflammation in the area where he got the tattoo, and if the situation worsens, blemishes and even scarring can occur keloids. They are a kind of bulky and exaggerated scars, that unlike what happens with normal scars, not smoothed over the years, but, on the contrary, grow and spread, they are also very unsightly and impossible to cover. Even in the worst cases can lead to cancer.
Allergic reactions caused by henna not have a fixed duration, usually vary from one person to another depending on how long it takes your body to expel toxins. Generally, if you go quickly to a dermatologist and begin a treatment with topical corticosteroids, in a matter of weeks could happen, but each person is different, and the recovery will depend on many other factors.
Another consequence is that once you develop an allergic reaction, can be sensitized forever, what does this mean? that if in future again entrases contact type dye PPD (even in trivial concentrations) would trigger the allergic reaction again and might even worsen. Bearing in mind that many products currently have PPD among its compounds, would inflammations every bit, even contact with a piece of dark clothing or a pen would be sufficient to trigger an allergic episode again.
What kind of tattoo has more risks?
Although there is risk for infections and diseases transmitted by injection in conventional tattoos, it is true that the chances are minimal if we choose a toilet room where sterilized material and have a permit from the Ministry of Health. However, when we talk about black henna tattoos, the chance of having an allergic reaction are enormous, and not only that, we can produce damage not visible to the naked eye, such as the liver or kidney, since the PPD powders henna black are so fine that they pass directly into the blood, while in a conventional tattoo ink into the dermis only reaches the lower layer of the skin.
Natural henna should be two hours on the skin and should always be reddish or natural henna brown must be two hours on the skin and should always be reddish or brown.
Is there an alternative to black henna temporary tattoos?
If there are, naturally henna tattoos that have not been mixed with any chemical. There are some differences such as color (red) and the duration you in the body, which is relative, in the parts where there is more fat will last less than the finest areas of the body such as hands and feet. In thicker areas it will last an average of 1 to 2 weeks and thinner areas (as in the feet) can last more. It also depends on the freshness and purity of the plant, as will last longer if natural henna is transported from India.
If at the end you decide on a temporary tattoo, you have to be well informed on the type of henna to be used in the local (and they do not even go through your head go to a street stall).
