Exquisite Front Hand Checkered Fill Mehndi Design for Arm

An artistic front hand mehndi design tailored for the arm, featuring butterfly wing and spiral rosette. Rated as Medium, this pattern is perfect for Diwali.

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 pattern suits someone who is already comfortable with basic lines, dots and petals and wants to practise even spacing.

The palm is the traditional placement for mehndi and gives the darkest stain on the body. A round mandala in the centre of the palm, often called a tikki, is one of the oldest and best-known layouts.

Application tips: Palms sweat, so apply in a cool room and avoid holding anything until the paste has set. Leave the paste on for at least four to six hours; the longer it stays, the deeper the stain.
