Body Painter

Just like traditional painters, body painters are also artists. The only difference is that they use people’s bodies as a canvas for their artwork. While body painting is actually an ancient practice that was customarily done by a number of civilizations, it is currently used for more recreational purposes.

Body painting could be restricted to just the face or involve other body parts as well. While face painting has become particularly popular at children’s’ birthday parties, other forms of body painting is often done at music festivals (such as Burning Man), sports events, and corporate parties. Apart from entertainment, there are other settings in which body painters might also find work. These include political protests, live art exhibits, ad campaigns or magazine photo shoots.
