If you're thinking of getting a fake tattoo over Spring Break, you might want to think again.

According to the US Food and Drug Administration, while temporary body art may involve less commitment than permanent ink, it's certainly not harmless and could result in a trip to the emergency room.

MedWatch, the FDA's safety and health complaints hotline, has had scores of consumers report bad side effects to the fleeting markings, including redness, blisters, raised red weeping lesions, loss of pigmentation and even permanent scarring.

'Just because a tattoo is temporary it doesn't mean that it is risk free, ' Dr. Linda Katz, director of Food and Drug Administration's Office of Cosmetics and Colors, said.

The coal-tar hair dye contains p-phenylenediamine (PPD), an ingredient that can cause dangerous skin reactions in some people and is banned from use in cosmetics that are intended to be applied to the skin.

The organization is flagging up the risks involved in fake tattoos ahead of Spring Break, when temporary tattoo kiosks pop up at beaches, boardwalks, and other holiday destinations, as well as in some ethnic or specialty shops.

'So, depending on where you are, it's possible no one is checking to make sure the artist is following safe practices or even knows what may be harmful to consumers, ' Katz said.

The parents of a five-year-old girl recently learned the dangers of temporary tattoos the hard way, reporting that their daughter developed severe reddening on her forearm about two weeks after the black henna was applied.

'What we thought would be a little harmless fun ended up becoming more like a nightmare for us, ' the girl's father said.

'My hope is that by telling people about our experience, I can help prevent this from happening to some other unsuspecting kids and parents.'

Blisters: The FDA is warning people of the risks, such as severe blisters, pictured, ahead of Spring Break

The mother of a 17-year-old girl agreed.

'At first I was a little upset she got the tattoo without telling me, ' she said. 'But when it became red and itchy and later began to blister and the blisters filled with fluid, I was beside myself.'
