Temporary tattoos have become rather popular in the past few years. One of the main appeals of temporary tattoos is the fact that they’re, well, temporary. You apply them in a matter of seconds and enjoy them as a tattoo for a short-term period. There is no tattooing hassle and no life-long commitment to body art.

Temporary tattoos are excellent for anyone who wants to experience what it’s like to have a tattoo without fully committing to it. Temporary tattoos are also significantly cheaper, easily accessible, and easily removed.

But, it is not all milk and honey with these tattoos. FDA and health agencies have been warning against certain types of temporary tattoos that are dangerous and risky, especially for children.So, in the following paragraphs, we’ll see whether temporary tattoos are dangerous, and if there’s a risk of applying such tattoos onto the skin.
 

So, Are Temporary Tattoos Safe?

According to the FDA, temporary tattoos may be safe for the general population, but in some cases, that can cause some adverse effects. Such effects often manifest as;

  • Skin redness, 
  • Blisters,
  • Raised and oozing lesions
  • Loss of skin pigmentation
  • Increased sensitivity to sunlight
  • Permanent scarring

In such cases, one often has incredibly sensitive skin or skin conditions. Either way, it is essential to seek medical care.

It is important to mentions that the adverse effects may not occur immediately upon using a temporary tattoo. In the majority of cases, the adverse effects occurred between 2 to 3 weeks later.

However, when it comes to temporary tattoos made from black henna, the general health-related opinion is much more strict and serious.

Black henna is nowadays marketed instead of traditional, natural henna. The black henna contains, as we mentioned, the chemical PPD, and its amounts in black henna are not regulated. Such henna can also contain just hair dye and no henna at all, in some cases.
