Arabic Indian Back Hand Mehndi Design for Teej

Measured from this photo

• About 41% of the skin in the photo is covered in henna: less ink than 55% of the 2,713 back hand designs we have measured.
• By area: fingers 49%, palm or back of the hand 12%, wrist and arm 7%.
• A typical line is about 1.5 mm wide, so you would want a cone with a fine tip.
• Laid end to end, the lines come to about 3.1 m of henna.
• It has about 11 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.
