Schoolboys scarred for life after Henna tattoos they had during holiday to Egypt burnt into their skin

THIS STORY TELLS HOW HENNA TATTOOS DO SCAR?

Two schoolboy brothers have been scarred for life after temporary tattoos burnt into their skin on an Easter Holiday from hell.

Liam, 16, and Owen Groves, 14, pestered their mother to allow them to have henna body art while on an all-inclusive holiday in Egypt.

But instead of natural henna the tattoo artist, who worked in the resort where they were staying, used super-strength black henna.

Liam Groves, 16, got a tattoo using ‘black henna’ while on holiday in Egypt but was left permanently scarred after chemical in the dye burned into his skin

Younger brother Owen, 13, suffered a similar reaction. Unlike henna, which is a natural plant dye which turns the skin dark brown, ‘black henna’ is synthetic and often made with hair dye which burns the skin

While henna itself is a harmless natural product used to turn the skin dark brown, ‘black’ henna is usually made using hair dye which contains harmful chemicals which burn the skin.

On the plane home Liam and Owen couldn’t stop itching and had to be pulled out of school when they returned to the UK as the patterns turned into sores The dodgy tattoos have permanent scars on their backs and the brothers now can’t take their tops off in the sun as doctors warned to avoid direct sunlight on the area.

The tattoos were initially fine but began itching on the way home and eventually turned into large sores      

 As like my daughter I feel these will take a while to heal just be very careful  Maybe test a small area first to see how your body reacts
