Body Paint Pictures The origin of body painting is unknown, but its use has been widespread - sometimes as an art form, sometimes as a part of tradition, and the other times, as a necessity. The evidence of body painting is found in ancient practices across various cultures and remains a popular fashion statement in the present times. There is no set style or technique for body painting. It can be a localized design or a fuller one, covering the entire body in some cases. The color pigments used can be natural or synthetic. Similarly, it can be a work of an expert or an amateurish hand of a novice. However, unlike permanent tattoos, body paints are temporary or semi-permanent in nature. Body Paint Pictures

Body Painting Pictures Tattoos as body art? Oh yeah! Take a look around where ever you are right now. See any tattoos? My guess is yes. People get tattoos for a variety of reasons. They can be symbolic of some important event in their life, they can be a memorial to someone they love, or they can choose a tattoo design for purely ascetic reasons. They simply love the design and view it as body art. Body Painting Pictures

Body Painting Pics Tattooing as body art is a practice that is becoming more and more popular but really it has been around for a very long time. In many cultures, whole body tattooing was done in intricate gorgeous designs. The Japanese culture especially is known for tattooing beautiful scenes across the back and down the arms. There are images of waves, villages, koi fish and beautiful gardens. A true art form. Many of the other ancient cultures used tattooing as body art also, but it really was not until recently that tattooing beautiful scenes across the body really began to explode as an art form in its own right. A spin off of this is body art painting. I suppose the difference would come in that the paint can be removed and a different design put in its place. Obviously, tattoos are permanent, so you need to do your research and get the best tattoo design and tattoo artist you can afford. Body Painting Pics
