Aesthetic Arabic Back Hand Mehndi Design with Jaal for Eid (5)

Measured from this photo

• About 38% of the skin in the photo is covered in henna: less ink than 63% of the 2,713 back hand designs we have measured.
• By area: fingers 37%, palm or back of the hand 45%, wrist and arm 35%.
• A typical line is about 2.2 mm wide, so you would want a cone with a wider tip, or more pressure.
• Laid end to end, the lines come to about 1.8 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.
