A German medical magazine has reported that the temporary skin markings often contain paraphenylendiamine (PPD), a substance that is used in many hair dyes. As it is long lasting and is used in high concentrations, people with henna tattoos might develop an allergy to the compound, the 'Arzte Zeitung' has said.
