: 1. Should I do it (I have a full-time job, don't need the money)?

A few extra clams hasn't hurt a henna artist yet, so go for it! If
you're worried about your skill for an event like this, practice some
designs on paper, and offer only these familiar designs at the party.

: 2. What should I charge?

If the lady hiring you wants you to give free henna to her guests you
need to quote her an hourly rate, depending on where you are located
and your level of experience $30 - $100 an hour. If she just wants
you at the party to henna people, and let the guests pay for it
themselves, she needs to pay you some sort of retainer fee, and then
you collect dinero from party guests, $5 - $25 per design.

: 3. Does this mean I have to consider myself "self-employed" for tax
: purposes?

One henna party is not going to get Uncle Sam's panties in a wad. If
you're not going pro all the time and are just doing this for fun and
extra cash, don't worry about the tax stuff.
