Ecccch! Avoid getting henna tattoo blisters and swelling. This MSNBC article is enlightening, "Henna hazard: Chemical causes ornate allergies - Harsh dye can swell popular tattoos into itchy, blistery swirls and shapes." Just look at the New England Journal of Medicine photo.
The facts are, "true henna is made from harmless plants, black henna uses a chemical called para-phenylenediamine, or PPD, which makes the tattoo dry quickly and last longer."
My opinion. Do yourself a favor, avoid getting black henna tattoos.
