Henna on the forearm stains lighter than on the palm because the skin is thinner. Arm designs are easier to apply on someone else than on yourself, especially past the wrist. This is a detailed pattern usually done by an experienced artist; allow plenty of time and work in small sections.

The negative space in Arabic henna is intentional — it allows each motif to stand out dramatically. In Emirati tradition, henna is applied to both hands and feet of the bride by a professional 'hannaya'.

Application tips: Leave deliberate gaps between motifs; the spacing is what defines Arabic style. Arabic shading uses parallel lines inside motifs for a hatched-fill look.
