Do you have a difficult time drawing interlocking pentagrams freehand?  It's not cheating to sketch them on your skin first with something that doesn't interfere with the henna.  If you're really stuck, you can make a transfer.

A great tool for lining up interlocking Celtic work, or making a transfer is  the 8406 "Stabilo" pencil by Schwan ..... on one side it  says, "paper glass, plastic, metal "Aquarellable" , and on the other side  it says Schwan all Stabilo 8045. It is black and green and has no eraser. Their "Othello" aquarellable pencils are great too! Derwent Aquarellable pencils do just as well, and come in henna colors! They are extremely soft watercolor drawing pencils that will draw on  most anything. It will draw on YOU if you just dampen yourself a bit, wipe yourself with a damp cloth. It does not interfere with henna.  If you don't like the line you drew, you can wipe it away with a wet cloth.

 These pencils  should cost no more than $1.25 at your friendly local art supply store. If you can't find it, get the softest drawing pencil they've got and see if that works.  Don't put the Aquarellable into a pencil sharpener.  The lead is too soft to hold together in the grinder. Sharpen it  with a single edge razor blade. Very Carefully.

How do you  use a soft pencil  with interlocking pentagrams and such?  Print out the pattern you want. Go over that pattern with the Aquarellable. Moisten your skin. Put the pattern traced-side down on your skin. Rub  it. The tracing should transfer perfectly to your skin.

  Or .... you can bang out a pent freehand if you start with the 5 dots that are the outer tips of the star ... space them very carefully,  maybe with a kiddie washable crayola marker .... and then work the  lines of the star radially inward.
