If you have HBV, the vaccine will do you no good, but if you do not have HBV, vaccination is a great way to protect yourself. The recommended schedule for the hepatitis B vaccine is to receive the first shot, followed in one month by the second shot.
Apply a fixative to the henna paste to prevent it from cracking as it dries. The most common way is to mix sugar water and lemon juice and spray it onto the design, but you can use hair spray, gel or other products to achieve the same result. Leave the henna paste on your skin as long as possible. Up to 8 hours is ideal, as keeping the paste on longer results in longer lasting, darker tattoos. Wrap your design in paper, medical tape or cotton to prevent smearing. When the tattoo is applied to your hands, gloves can be used as protection. Use care when doing activities that involve using the affected area. Keep your henna tattoo dry for the first 48 hours, at least. If you must expose your henna to moisture, cover it with petroleum jelly or baby oil to protect the design.
