Bridal Full Hand Mehndi Design with Gol Tikki and Lotus for Shivratri

Measured from this photo

• About 50% of the skin in the photo is covered in henna: more ink than 58% of the 916 full hand designs we have measured.
• By area: fingers 52%, palm or back of the hand 55%, wrist and arm 34%.
• 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 2.3 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.
