Yes, You can still use the tanning bed or lay out in the sun for that matter! However, a real tattoo, I was told not to suntan, definitely not burn for at least 2 weeks. You shouldn't have a problem at all though. It'll actually make it look more intense with a little more color or glow on your skin!

You can, as long as you're willing to risk a reverse design in light skin after the henna fades. Henna acts like a sunblock (probably why henna plants make the dye in the first place) and will keep the skin under the henna from darkening. So until you get a few more sessions, you'll have a reverse henna design. I think it's neat, you might not.

Henna tattoos are fine. They fade out or you can wash them off after a little while. Be warned, though -- the bigger, more elaborate designs are almost as expensive as permanent tattoos. You won't get Cinderella's castle henna-tattooed on your arm for the cost of a sno-cone. Henna tattoos shouldn't even be called "tattoos" -- they're like body paintings.

If your talking about where the henna is then probably yes. My friend had a henna tattoo and got a tanline of a dolphin but not a sunburn and it eventually went away

You can use it if you want, though be aware that henna works like sun cream, so you can end up with a negative image when the henna is gone.
