You will not always react the first time. I had several before my body had enough and I got terrible reaction. It isn't an infection from the artist - it is the ingredient PPD which the more often it is in contact with the skin the greater the chance of an allergic reaction and hypersensitivity to it and many other things. I can no longer have hair dye - (unless lighter colours, and foils or something where no contact with the skin). I don't believe it is worth it. You may be able to tolerate the PPD when getting your hair dyed as it isn't on skin as long. A temp tattoo can be in contact with you skin for a couple of weeks.
