In Reply to: Henna Tattoos posted by madmonkey on Wednesday, 13. September 2006 at 17:25 Bali Time:
Last year my daughter had a henna tattoo applied at the Dynasty of a rose on the back of her shoulder blade the following day it was raw red and the day after that it started to blister, we were due to fly back home on the day it blistered. When back in Sydney I took her to doctor and got a special cream to apply which thankfully worked in healing it. She ended up with a white scar of the rose which was there for many months, but thank god it did eventually fade away.
So from this experience we will never have 'Henna Tattoos' in Bali again.
I now take fake tattos to Bali with us which I get from Ebay and they look like real henna tattos and apply them on the children when we get there so they can look the part but not have to suffer.
