Here is a photo of a traditional henna tattoo design taken from a book of patterns I bought about 5 years ago.

This is a photo on an original henna tattoo design for the full palm. The pattern started and the wrist and was worked down onto the palm and finally the fingers.
This henna paste has only been off the skin for 24 hours, so it will take another 24 hours for the final color to show up.
This photo is an example of a custom, or "chef's choice" henna tattoo.

Many thanks to Sonya for ordering a traditional henna pattern. This design is one of many from the little henna pattern books imported from India.
Here are three little pakistani mehndi designs. Each girl chose a pattern style from one of the many pattern books on hand.. and then said "something like this"... the best way to ensure that you get a henna tattoo that fits your budget & your style.
