black henna tatoos


Thank you for positing this message.

The black henna tattoos which are being offered on the beaches and in town by vendors are not hennas. There is not a black henna and if the so called henna turns out to be black, it most likely contains a black dye containing paraphenylendiamine or PPD which can be very dangerous. When the solution is placed on the skin it has a coal black color. Hennas have more of reddish brown color.

Most likely the vendors do not know of the harm it can cause someone. We gave one vendor the informatoin in Spanish and he was very receptive and asked to keep the info to show to others.

The website I referred to is www.hennapage.com clicking on the section about Black Hennas. Passing this info to as many folks as possible could save a life or a life of allergic reactions.
Thankyou

You are absolutely correct. And very bad in the extreme can = shock and even death if care is not within reach.
