A seven-year-old girl was left with horrifying chemical burns and scars after getting a henna tattoo on arm.
Madison Gulliver was on holiday with parents in Egypt when things happened. Her father Martin allowed her to get the temporary henna tattoo and now regrets that.
After Madison got the black tattoo at a four-star hotel, she soon felt itchy and her arm where painted the tattoo erupted in painful blisters.
Madison's parents sent her to hospital intermediately. She had to have the blisters cut away in a specialist burns unit, which left her with scars up arm.

These paste of black tattoos contains a high levels of toxic chemical dye, also an ingredient called paraphenylenediamine (PPD), which is normally illegal to use on the skin.
NANJING, China (AP) — Tattoos depicting warriors, superheroes, lions and the Olympic rings were among the motivational motifs inked onto some of the athletes competing at the World Indoor Championships in Nanjing, China, over the weekend.
For Brazilian sprinter Matheus Lima, the Olympic rings stood out on his right shoulder under the image of a big cat with a full mane when he raced on Friday.
Some other Olympians have more subtle representations of the rings, like Canada's two-time world indoor shot put champion Sarah Mitton, who has the interconnected blue, black, red, yellow and green logo on the back of her arm.
Athletes traveled from all over the world to compete at the three-day indoor championships, and the styles of body art varied as much as the individuals who jumped, ran or threw in the hope of winning medals in Nanjing.
