I've tried cutting a small hole in a carrot bag and then putting a
Jacquard tip *inside* the carrot bag before the henna goes in. With
just the metal tip sticking out at the end, you can tape it in place
from the outside and it works fairly well. Downsides were that some
henna will ooze out the corners if the tip doesnt stay in place, and
you still have to deal with picking out clogs in your tips if they
occur. Getting the tip out of the bag can't be done easily until the
henna is gone, another down side.

I still favor the j-bottle, but havent experimented a whole lot yet
with the carrot bag approach (either with or without the tips).

It's funny to hear everyone talking about hennaeing being like cake
decorating -- that was EXACTLY my thought when I was trying the
carrot bag for the first time and the henna was that eliptical shape
that stood up on the skin, "This looks and acts like cake frosting."
