Aesthetic Front Hand Mehndi Design with Gol Tikki, Figures and Jaal for Diwali

Measured from this photo

• About 43% of the skin in the photo is covered in henna: less ink than 54% of the 2,300 front hand designs we have measured.
• By area: fingers 48%, palm or back of the hand 46%, wrist and arm 31%.
• A typical line is about 1.4 mm wide, so you would want a cone with a fine tip.
• Laid end to end, the lines come to about 3.2 m of henna across 2 hands.
• It has about 36 separate dots.
• More than half of the ink is filled-in shapes rather than lines, so it needs a thicker paste and longer to dry.

Estimates read by our software from the photo itself. The angle, crop and lighting of a photo change them, so treat them as a guide.
