You can henna nipples perfectly well, but the skin there is thin, has
openings for milk ducts, and should be therefore treated with
respect. Use only plain natural henna, with lemon juice. Repeated
applications to build up color may be preferable to additives that
*nuke* up the color, such as terpines and other oils. Remember also,
that the skin there will crinkle up with cold vs heat ... so your
pattern there may go astray.

Designs that begin outside of, or go only a little way into the
aureola may be preferable. It is well to remember that aureolae are
often NOT round, so geometric patterns may be less suitable than more
freeform patterns. Also, the shape of the entire breast will flex
when a woman moves from lying down to standing position ... and this
will impact your design! This is especially true for more mature
women, to whom life has been very generous.

If the woman is not allergic to liquid latex, this is an excellent
sealer for breast henna. I've hennaed breasts, then latexed them when
the henna is dry, and the lady had the choice of body glitter over the
translucent latex, or talcum powder, so she could put her clothes
back on. The henna stains came out beautifully, after an overnight
sleep with a sweatshirt on over the powdered latex.

I have free patterns for breasts on my website linked below: go to the
free pattern section.
