Hi Shauna, not sure if you have june copy of the advertiser?
Page 12 has an artical on henna tatoos, it reads...................
Temporary tatoos can be dangerous as many use a chemical textile dye that is not for human use. Henna tatoos are problem free. Chemical dyes are very black while Henna is not so black. Chemical dyes can cause permanent welting in the shape of the tatoo design.
I spoke to a guy on the beach doing tatoos about this and he said it is common at the moment for them to substitute with this dye as it is more cost effective.
Hopefully your little boy will be fine.
Just thought this might help if you need to get medical advise.
cheers nikki.
