The art of body painting has been around for millenia, and recently the artform has been used to great effect by the media and promotions companies to advertise their various wares. I’ve also noticed that it has become a regular sight at sports venues to wear body paint, face painting has been around for a long time, so why not!

Body painting for Halloween is also a good idea and a favourite theme for many body paint enthusiasts is superheroes…

Body painting has also become popular with festival and pride goers too.

In fact it’s become such a common phenomenon, that even magazines have featured articles on body painting…all be it Brazillian ones…
