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.

In Turkey, the henna night before a wedding is called kına gecesi. Traditionally, a round patch of henna is placed in the bride's palm, often with a gold coin, and the hand is wrapped in red cloth.

Application tips: Wrap the hand in cloth to keep the paste warm and in place. For Ottoman-inspired patterns, keep the tulip shapes long and slim.
