Simple Back Hand Mehndi Design with Jaal (10)

Measured from this photo

• About 28% of the skin in the photo is covered in henna: less ink than 76% of the 1,153 foot designs we have measured.
• By area: fingers 53%, palm or back of the hand 17%, wrist and arm 11%.
• A typical line is about 2.6 mm wide, so you would want a cone with a wider tip, or more pressure.
• Laid end to end, the lines come to about 2.2 m of henna across 2 hands.
• 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.
