Eνеrу time I’ve gotten henna іt οnƖу needed tο stay οn fοr аbουt аn hour, maybe a ƖіttƖе more. It’s really wеіrԁ thаt thеrе′s nο color. Keep іn mind though thаt thе first day іt wіƖƖ bе a really light orange аnԁ wіƖƖ darken over time, ѕο maybe іt’s thеrе bυt јυѕt doesn’t contrast wіth уουr skin tone.

Henna is a temporary thing there are no guarantees. Your skin may be to oily, or to moist at the time.
If you have fresh good henna leaving it on 4 hours is good.

I get great henna here and love it.

I love henna and I do it on myself all the time… If someone professionally did it for you, and you payed for it, I would request a refund.
As for the henna, there are crappy kinds but I recommend Rani Henna. It’s the best selling kind I believe, its already mixed in a tube and comes with a special tip to apply it. You can find this type of henna in Indo-Pak stores (Indian – Pakistani) and middle eastern stores.
Don’t ever use black henna because its not natural and many people break out from the black dye inside it.
If it flaked off by itself then it should have had enough time, it just sounds like you had a shyza brand of henna or something. I will leave you a link so you know what to look for in the store.. Any indian / middle eastern grocery stores usually have this. If you had it done by someone, bring that brand to them to redo it if possible. Hope it helps, sorry for your disappointment
Why don’t you have the real tattoo, it would last much much longer than henna. ^_^
