: Is there a way to remove a henna tattoo once it has been on the
skin for a couple of days?

Because henna penetrates the layers of dead skin, no matter which
method you choose, know that it will be harsh on your skin, so be
careful.

The main methods are as follows (you can use any one or all of them):

- bleach - soak your hands in it, maybe while washing some sheets and
towels

- scrubbing with a loofah or harsh washcloth

- some kind of exfoliating product such as alphahydroxy lotion

Even with these methods, it may take a week for the design to fully
disappear.
