Henna on the forearm stains lighter than on the palm because the skin is thinner. Arm designs are easier to apply on someone else than on yourself, especially past the wrist. This is a detailed pattern usually done by an experienced artist; allow plenty of time and work in small sections.

The traditional practice is to stain the bride's fingertips and nails red, not to draw fine patterns. Modern Indonesian bridal henna often borrows Arabic and Indian layouts and is sometimes done in white body paint, which is not true henna.

Application tips: Wash and dry the skin before application and skip lotion or oil, which block the dye. Keeping the skin warm while the paste is on helps the colour develop.
