Step 1
Purchase a henna tattoo kit from a reputable source. The kit should come with stencils, henna and application bottles. Read the directions of your kit--each kit is different and has different mixing rules and different application recommendations.
-
Step 2
Rub the area with vegetable oil before applying your henna tattoo to help it to last.
-
Step 3
Plan to use a stencil to do your tattoos. You can also try to draw your tattoo freehand, but you should be experienced with tattooing with henna before trying this.
-
Step 4
Apply your henna tattoo, using the application bottle. Either have a friend do it for you, or do it yourself. Wait until the paste is completely dry, about an hour or two, before moving to the next step.
-
Step 5
Peel the paste off and discard it. Over the course of a day or two, your henna tattoo will darken from orange to a reddish brown. Your henna tattoo will continue to fade from the next week or two until it disappears completely.

Step 6
Consider finding a professional henna tattoo artist for a professional look.
