One thing we can go easier on is temporary tattoos.

After the mother, Sylvia, spent two vacation days in hospital due to a gall bladder infection, the father decided to treat his kids Madison and 9-year-old Sebastien to a pair of black henna tattoos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With seemingly little cause for concern, the two kids got artistic designs that went from the middle of their forearms down to their fingers. To the parents\u2019 surprise, Sebastien immediately started complaining that his skin was itching and washed off the black dye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shortly after, Madison had the same complaint, except her skin reaction was much more severe. The skin underneath the tattooed area broke out in blisters, so the parents rushed her to emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/theheartysoul.com\/paraphenylenediamine-girl-suffers-chemical-burns-black-henna\/\">https:\/\/theheartysoul.com\/paraphenylenediamine-girl-suffers-chemical-burns-black-henna\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unwanted skin infections, metal toxicity, and even cancer\u2026 Those are just some of the reasons we remain wary of tattoos and their health risks.
