Is having henna tattoo every month bad for our health? especially for the skin? i have no skin allergies.

Possible: Repeated applications may sensitize you to henna causing a contact dermatitis. However this is not a certainty and will not adversely impact your health unless you apply henna over 50% of the skin surface and then have a contact allergic reaction to it.
