Phomemo Henna Tattoo Kit TP31

Highlights

Want a custom henna design for a party without drawing the pattern freehand? The Phomemo TP31 prints a stencil from your phone, giving you an outline to trace at home.

The kit includes the tattoo maker, two henna cones in brown and rose red, 30 stencil papers, and 30 ml of transfer gel. The printer connects to a phone over Bluetooth, and the app offers built-in designs plus basic editing and the option to upload your own artwork.

The key distinction: it prints the stencil, not the finished tattoo. You still transfer the outline to skin and trace it with a henna cone. Keep in mind that the maximum print size is 3.15 x 5.24 inches, so it’s intended for small designs rather than large body art.

Care & maintenance

After tracing the stencil, let the henna sit for about an hour so the color can develop, then rinse with water. The design is described as water-resistant and typically lasts 3–5 days, with care, it may last longer than a week, depending on how often it gets wet. That variation matters if you’re planning a design for a specific event—apply it early enough for the color to develop, but remember that frequent water exposure can shorten its wear.

If you want to remove a design sooner, the product information suggests makeup remover or baby oil. Results and wear time may vary, so this is better treated as temporary decoration than as a set-duration finish.

Practical tips

For a cleaner transfer, apply a thin layer of the included gel, place the printed stencil on the skin, and trace its lines with the cone. Line-art designs are recommended, detailed images may be harder to follow by hand. A simple floral or geometric outline on the back of a hand is a practical first project before trying a more involved pattern.

The app lists more than 2,800 designs, with over 1,500 free stencils and basic editing features for everyday use. You can also upload an image and adjust its size before turning it into a line-art stencil. From the way it is set up, this is a DIY tracing workflow rather than a one-click tattoo application: the printer helps with repeatable outlines, but the final result still depends on your tracing.

Questions before you buy

Does it make a tattoo automatically? No. It prints a stencil, you transfer that stencil and trace it with one of the henna cones.

Can it print a large design? The maximum print size is 3.15 x 5.24 inches, which suits small motifs such as hand or foot designs.

Are all app designs free? The app includes free stencils and basic editing, while premium templates require a subscription.

When it makes sense

A solid pick if you want to make small, personalized henna designs for a birthday, holiday, or wedding-related event and are comfortable tracing them yourself. It also makes sense if you’d rather work from printed outlines than sketch a pattern directly on skin. Not the best choice if you want large artwork or a finished tattoo with no hands-on application—the print area is limited, and the henna still needs to be traced and left to develop.
