cultural reference question

Hey guys, I drew these hands for my cultural reference piece and I was originally planning on doing a henna pattern on the back of the hands. But now I'm thinking about doing traditional style tattoos on the hands instead. I'm planning on painting the background red for either idea, just need to know which style to go with for the hands.

here are the hands:


and here are my sketchbook pages for the henna and tattoo ideas (might be a little hard to read):



Let me know which idea you like better/which one would be stronger because I'm kind of stuck right now.

  1. I think both ideas are great but I'd go with the henna because tattoos can be placed anywhere while henna is typically on the hands/feet. I think the henna fits better/is stronger.

  2. Either works but I like Ariana's point about Henna on hands/feet vs. tattoos being anywhere on the body.
