Abstract
Herein are reported two cases of a previously healthy fourteen-year-old girl and a nine-year-old boy who presented to the Pediatric Emergency Department with a cutaneous reaction after applying a temporary black henna tattoo.

PPD induces skin sensitization and causes allergic contact dermatitis.
