Step 2Trace

Trace
Place the template on your friend's arm and trace around it using a pen. You could probably also use eyeliner for this.

Once the outline is complete, remove the stencil. Using it as a reference, fill in the details.

Um. Tracing is a decent idea but its easier to print it out place it on your arm and put rubbing alcohol over it o________o. That leaves a perfect copy of it on your arm. I have a henna booklet and it recommends doing that..

face down or face up? or does it not matter? i've also had henna artists trace the design onto tracing paper, applying roll on gel to the area where the henna would be (it almost looked like gel deodorant) then lay the tracing paper face down over that, and the ink was transferred onto my skin

The skull should be closest to your elbow, with the rest of the mark going down towards your wrist. For most effect it should be done on the left arm.

it has to be face down.
