I got mine on the arm and it was cool, lasted over a week. Milady's on her leg lasted longer.
Have fun :-)

This is the best advise.. I used to own a tattoo shop and we used to do henna for people as a side thing...
also the henna will always stay on better... on places on your body that generate heat... i.e the palms of your hands and feet.. anything on the arm,back and places like that will not last as long.... you can also after you have let it dry and are ready to wash it off... rub just a dab of loive oil into and that bring the color out a but more as well ..
Hope this helps
