Henna does not take as well on other parts of the body, but it still looks great. There is a myth that traditional henna is done only on the hands and feet. The ancients used it all over the body as well. Henna lasts longer on the hottest parts of the body. The inner arms stain well, as does the belly. (Lie down on your back for belly application.) Necklaces are a common request by Americans seeking henna painting, but the skin of the neck and collarbone is too thin for the stain to last very long. The back also is not a great place to paint henna if your intention is a dark and lasting stain. The legs can be a good choice, but truly, everyone’s skin is different. The thickness of the skin, color, hairiness, and the amount of time the henna paste is left on all make a difference in the amount of time the stain lasts. The less traditional areas of the body, although they do not take as well to henna, are great for experimentation. As a new mehndi artist, this is your territory. Have fun with it.
