Body Painting is truly one of humanity's oldest forms of visual expression. Throughout the ages, many civilizations have used the human body to convey messages important to their culture and beliefs. From the beginning of time, body painting has been a part of rites marking birth, initiations into adulthood, marriage ceremonies, and death rituals. From geishas to Native Americans, decorative body art has been an integral part of culture the world over.

Even thought it doesn't carry the same meanings in today's society, body painting is still all around us. Just go to any street fair where there is a face-painting booth, and watch people line up- both young and old-waiting to transform themselves into a walking piece of art. There are endless possibilities of going from reality to fantasy through the use of the " living canvas " and body painting. Combining body art with props, music, and dance creates a perfect platform for all kinds of performance art, whether it's a fashion show, a stage act, or even a school play. This art can be used Party planners, professional photographers, theater groups, modeling agencies, film studios, and other entertainment and performance artist.

A WORD OF CAUTION ...

Some of the photos contained in this Body Painting Site may involve nudity. So, if you are offended by nudity, even if there is nothing elicits or pornographic in the artist's interpretation of art and the human body, then you should not view the sites photos in the Body Painting pages . If you are under the age of 18, you should view these sites only with your parent's permission and/or supervision. In my experience, most nude body painting is very obscured by paint and illusion, but some folks still find this offensive.

If you are under 18 or offended by NUDITY, DO NOT ENTER!
