Hello Maria!
Thank you for your question. Yes. You can write the hand directly on
top of a Facial Circle, if you feel it is readable...However, it is
not always a good solution, as you said.
You can write the Nose Line in the center of the Facial Circle. This
means that the sign is "relating to" the Nose or "relating to the
center of the face". Please the attached diagram: |
