Is there any Latex in Henna Tattoo ink? I have a latex allergy...?

If you're talking about "black henna", which is the stuff they use to paint temporary tattoos on you on street stalls etc, YES, it often does contain latex stabilisers.

DON'T GET SUCH TATTOOS DONE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. "Black henna" isn't pure henna, but rather it's paraphenylendiamine. It's extremely carcinogenic and causes serious allergic reactions in a lot of people, even those who aren't allergic to latex, as well as permanent scarring in some cases.

You have been warned! There's some more info below. Source(s): http://www.hennapage.com/henna/ppd/index...

Black henna contains latex, but if you get pure henna it does not. Pure henna is made out of herbs and black henna is not. If you get pure henna put, you will most likely not be allegic to it. The only place you could get pure henna is probably and Indian store.
