Temporary Tattoos, a possible health risk?

Unlike permanent tattoos, temporary tattoos are tattoos in which ink is applied onto the surface of skin and last within a range from 3 days to several weeks.

You may think that as this is a non-critical/semi-critical procedure, there should be no risk associated. However, depending on the types of ink used and the sanitation knowledge of the artist, infections and allergies may result.
