Here is a photo of a traditional henna tattoo pattern for the back of the hand. The fine lines and full pattern are typical of a traditional henna tattoo pattern from India. Many customers also order this as a "bridal" henna pattern, although this tattoo does not go all the way to the elbow as is the custom for many brides.
I used henna paste made with finely ground Jamila henna powder, the 2009 crop, which made the paste flow easily from the hand rolled cone. This year's crop of Jamila henna is wondefully "gummy" and make a very workable paste.
