Arabic Bridal Back Hand Mehndi Design with Gol Tikki (6)

Measured from this photo

• About 47% of the skin in the photo is covered in henna: more ink than 61% of the 2,713 back hand designs we have measured.
• By area: fingers 41%, palm or back of the hand 33%, wrist and arm 52%.
• 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 4.2 m of henna.
• It has about 83 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.
