Measured from this photo
- About 33% of the skin in the photo is covered in henna: less ink than 73% of the 2,713 back hand designs we have measured.
- By area: fingers 44%, palm or back of the hand 20%, wrist and arm 31%.
- A typical line is about 1.3 mm wide, so you would want a cone with a fine tip.
- Laid end to end, the lines come to about 0.9 m of henna.
- 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.
