Awas, tato temporer bisa sebabkan alergi parah


Temporary tattoos are usually the choice of many people who do not want to take risks with a permanent tattoo. It could be because they are easily bored, afraid not like the results of their tattoos, or any other reason. But that seems a smart choice this turned out to be a serious health impact.

"Just because it's not permanent tattoos tattoo does not mean risk-free," said Dr. Linca Katz, director of the Food and Drug Administration's Office of Cosmetics and Colors, as reported by CBS News (25/03).

Unlike permanent tattoos are injected into the skin, usually temporary tattoos made ​​from henna, red-brown dye from plants that come from Asia or Africa. They usually use the dried henna to dye skin, hair, nails, or other things.

Even so, the material that is currently widely used to make temporary tattoos are not pure henna, black henna but that is mixed with other chemicals such as p-phenylenediamine (PPD). PPD is what causes a reaction in the skin of a person and can be dangerous if applied to the skin.

In a study in New england Journal shows the case of a girl whose hands were blistered after using a temporary tattoo made ​​of henna on her wedding day. Worse, this blister can not be lost until six months later.

Before attempting a temporary tattoo you should know the type of ink used by the tattoo artist. Be careful, lest you also have allergies that you will regret.
