There's a page here
http://www.hennapage.com/
with a lot of very comprehensive information on henna tattoos - how they're done, traditions, etc.
I've used henna many times with no ill effects - I always do patterns on my hands whenever I'm going to a wedding - and it's considered safe. It's a sort of sludgy green paste which makes reddish-brown marks on the skin, that last a week or two before fading away.
However, there's stuff called 'black henna', which sometimes contains harmful chemicals that have been associated with skin allergies, scarring and other problems. I would therefore avoid 'black henna' and stick with the ordinary stuff.
Hope this helps!

Yeah! They're completely safe! Henna is made from a mix of Indian herbs. completely natural. :) But if you're going to go to florida for a really short time, I wouldn't really recommend it because it does take a while dry. Also, make sure none gets on your nails or it will stay there until they grow out.

Totally it is just pigments found in nature that dye the first couple layers of skin, totally safe.
