A devastating experience with a budget henna tattoo has been shared by a woman on social media who ended up with severe blisters and itching, leaving a scar. The TikTok user @Iamseasons posted a video today detailing her ordeal with the cheap henna tattoo that turned into a nightmare.

 

“I advise you not to follow suit, it’s not about the shop, but whether you are allergic or not.”

 

The tattoo-loving woman captioned her video along with hashtags #hennatattoo #hairdyeallergy #catslave. The woman in the clip stated she had a desire to get a cat tattoo.

 

Unfortunately, her parents didn’t permit tattoos, leading her to opt for a henna tattoo of a cat instead. However, after getting the tattoo, she experienced skin itching around the tattooed area and noticed raised skin.


On the third day, clear bumps started appearing around the henna tattoo area and the edge of the tattoo started showing a distinct red line.

So why didn't you get a small test area done first?

I believe a Henna 'tattoo' is simply painted on...and Henna itself widely used for that purpose and the dying of hair, producing a ridiculous looking bright red colour on many Pakistani men. 

Wouldn't have thought it problematic unless a person was allergic to it.
