Pattern-Leaf: Start off by creating a outline for the pattern.( Picture 9) Now fill in the dot-line-line pattern. ( Picture 8) Now you will create a second leaf-like feature. Add tear shaped mirroring leaves, which get bigger in the middle.( Picture 7) Outline this fern leaf and add half circles to the outline. Fern Leaf: To do so, draw a curved line leading away from the flower into the direction of the thump. The leaf will be pointing towards the thump and can also go onto the finger. ( Picture 6) Now you have the center of the pattern and will be placing more features around it. Now outline the whole flower and place small half-circles along the outline.( Picture 5) Once you have finished the flower, outline the whole feature again. The petals are rounded squares with a small indent on the outer line. Outline this shape.( Picture 4) Now draw the petals of the flower onto the previously drawn line. Draw a colored out dot surrounded by a circle.( Picture 3) Then place small half circles on the outline of the circle. Flower: The first basic feature is a kind of flower, which is made up of different layers. Now place the first flower from the "Design step" on this place. Good Luck and have fun! Once you have everything prepared everything choose a point in the middle of your hand. ( Picture 1&2) To make it easyer I have explained each step in detail and there are also pictures on which you can see what to do next. After the whole tattoo is finished it is important to check whether all of the features are actually connected at atleast one point.Īs it will be easyer and clearer to follow my steps on paper I have used a pen and hand-outline to demonstrate the creation of the tattoo. Every feature is outlined with atleast a single line and mostly half circles are added to the first outline. Outlines (Picture 9): This is a very important aspect of henna tattoos as the outlining brings unison into the tattoo. Now the petals are added, which are round instead of square and an additional line is added to the "V". This bulging part is outlined with a line covered in half-circles. Its base consists of a solid block inside the corner, bulging out in a half circle. Corner Flower (Picture 8): This is a second form of flower in henna style and is placed in corners. This is an exact minimized, mirrowed copy of the large twirl. Once the large twirl is done you should add a smaller spiral at the bottom of the large twirl. The end of the spiral ends in a tear-shaped drop. Twirl (Picture 6&7): This is a very simple feature as you will just have to draw a line ending in a spiral. Repeat this feature until the surface is filled up. Place a tiny dot close to the line and surround it by two outlines. The large pattern is made up of very simple features. Pattern (Picture 4&5): This is a basic filling pattern, which can be used to cover larger surfaces. Add tear shaped mirroring leaves, which get bigger in the middle. To do so, draw a curved line leading away from the flower into the direction of the thump. Farn Leaf (Picture 3): The next feature is a kind of fern leaf. Now draw the petals of the flower onto the previously drawn line. Then place small half circles on the outline of the circle. Draw a colored out dot surrounded by a circle. Flower (Picture 2): The first basic feature is a kind of flower, which is made up of different layers. Ofcourse the features can be veried and repeated as desired and form diffeent kinds of tattoos. I will show the most important features and then later combine them in a larger pattern. There are a fiew basic patterns, which can be combined to form one final tattoo.
Before you randomly put henna paste onto your skin you will need a design on paper which gives you an outline of the tattoo.
