To solve \( 3^{-4} \) using the property of negative integer exponents, we can use the rule that states:

\[
a^{-n} = \frac{1}{a^n}
\]

Applying this to \( 3^{-4} \):

\[
3^{-4} = \frac{1}{3^4}
\]

Now, we need to calculate \( 3^4 \):

\[
3^4 = 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 = 81
\]

So, we have:

\[
3^{-4} = \frac{1}{81}
\]

Thus, the final answer is:

\[
\frac{1}{81}
\]
