Simple Back Hand Mehndi Design with Gol Tikki

Measured from this photo

• About 33% of the skin in the photo is covered in henna: less ink than 64% of the 1,153 foot designs we have measured.
• By area: fingers 51%, palm or back of the hand 7%, wrist and arm 0%.
• A typical line is about 0.9 mm wide, so you would want a cone cut to a very fine tip.
• Laid end to end, the lines come to about 1.3 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.
