Step 1
Take your hand and trace the outline onto a piece of paper. Start with the larger design and continue drawing the designs you want for your henna tattoos.

Step 2
Draw a popular Indian henna design by sketching a leaf outline. Fill it in to make it look like an actual leaf by adding veins or any other art design inside.
-
Step 3
Add the fill-in designs all around the larger designs. When you know different styles of henna designs for tattoos and body art, you understand that you shouldn't start the design with the smaller fill-in designs because you may not have enough room for the larger designs.

Step 4
Make interesting fill-in designs like squiggly lines, spirals or a circle with a dot in the middle. Keep the fill-in designs very simple because even when you use a lot of them the result is a beautiful, intricate pattern.

Step 5
Change the design pattern for your fingers so that it is different, yet complementary to your palm design. Add just a few of the designs to your fingers that also appear on your palms.
