In addition, choosing an unreliable master can also suffer due to non-sterile instruments. It is worth noting the pain of the procedure.

Body painting does not pose such a threat. Its only downside is the price. good master it is quite expensive, and the pattern is worn for about 3 days or 3 weeks, depending on the paint.

Features of intimate body art

Body art on the male and female bodies is applied in the form of decoration of one or another part of them:

• faces;
• and even intimate places.

Body painting is an absolutely safe form. It does not damage the skin, looks bright and beautiful. Painting on the body - true feminine look body art.

Men tend to be more determined and prefer tattoos. They don't wash off after a week. It is very difficult to remove a tattoo from an intimate place. But putting it on is not a pleasant thing.

More often, the choice falls on a less painful type of body art - body painting.

Important! Choose your master carefully.

Pay attention to:

• what paints the artist uses, because the duration of wearing the pattern on the body depends on it;
• does he have all the necessary consumables (alcohol lotion, cream, fixative, etc.).

How to choose paints

For body art, several types of paint are used:

1. Henna stays on the skin for about 3 weeks. Previously, it was presented only in brown and red colors. IN this moment the gamut has expanded significantly. natural henna It has Brown color. Sometimes manufacturers add herbs to it so that the shade of the paint becomes darker or copper. Paints based on henna are different colors: orange to purple.
2. Glitter - paint without henna. It consists of only glitter and special glue. Manufacturers produce the mixture in cones or tubes, but it is also possible to buy both substances separately. In this case, the pattern is created with glue and sprinkled with sparkles. This tattoo is worn for up to 2 weeks.
3. Makeup is also used for painting the body. With it, you can create bright and rich drawings. The main difficulty is fixation. It does not hold well and is suitable only for a photo shoot.
4. Face painting, which is used to draw multi-color drawings with transitions, shading, clear graphics, etc., is elastic. It does not crack, has a bright and saturated color scheme. Paints dry quickly, do not have an allergic effect. Without the use of a fixative, the pattern will wash off with the first shower. The retainer protects the image. The period of wearing such a creation is still insignificant.
5. Paints for an airbrush, which atomizes the material using compressed air. These paints include acrylic and liquid face painting. The first has water base and tightens the skin.
6. Alcohol paints are used for painting over tattoos, creating special effects and drawings. They are brought into activity in the same way as they are removed - with the help of alcohol. The main advantage is that the paints are not washed off with water. But remember that alcohol dries out the skin.
7. Gouache is a material for beginning artists. She lays down well. Layers of paint do not mix if they have time to dry. The main disadvantage is the cracking of the pattern when it dries completely. To avoid this, add petroleum jelly, glycerin or shampoo to the paints. This will give the gouache elasticity. Wear time - 1 day.
8. Body art pencil does not require additional purchase of brushes. It lasts about 3 days, and with a fixative - a week.
9. A felt-tip pen for tattooing is very similar to a pencil: a bright, saturated color. This design is worn for about 3 days. Comes off in spots.

What else will be needed

Depending on the paint you may need:

• various brushes (thick, puff, etc.);
• sponge;
• sample;
• airbrush.

Some paints can be applied with fingers. If it is supposed to decorate the pattern with rhinestones, then you additionally need to purchase pebbles and special glue or self-adhesive bindi.

Did you know? One of the first tattoos was made back in 3255 BC, which is confirmed by the mummy of Otzi.

Of the liquid consumables, you will definitely need an alcohol solution. To extend the wear of the pattern - fixative or hairspray.

Skin preparation

The skin before applying body art should be prepared. Be sure to remove hair from the area where the pattern will be applied. Depending on the paint, the “canvas” is either degreased with a lotion containing alcohol (alcohol-based paints) or moistened with a cream. Before applying the paint, the cream must be absorbed into the skin.

Create a drawing

In body art, the main thing is the idea. You can choose a drawing yourself from the catalog of the master or Internet resources, or trust the artist.

After preparing the skin, the master must process the tools and hands. Next, prepare paints and stencils, if needed. For example, gouache is diluted with shampoo, petroleum jelly or glycerin, liquid face painting is opened and placed in an airbrush, etc. After that, you can start applying.

If the drawing is done with gouache, then each layer of paint is dried naturally or with a hairdryer so that the layers do not mix with each other.

Important! The final image must be completely dry.

After drawing the image experienced craftsmen cover the drawings with special fixatives in the form of sprays.

Erotic body art - not only Nice picture but also one of the elements of your self-confidence. It can be a work of art, some kind of cartoon, a scary image, and whatever you want. If you are still in doubt, just look at examples of how body art looks advantageous even in intimate places.

Examples of body art on the male and female body in intimate places

Body painting looks original and bright on both men and women. The following photos are recommended for viewing by persons over 18 years of age.

Body art is one of the most accessible forms of art for decorating intimate places. It gives self-confidence, sexual attractiveness and helps to liberate. This method is almost absolutely safe for health, but it all depends on the paint and the master. Carefully approach the choice of salon and artist.

With the work of a Japanese artist Chuu-san (Chooo-san), which draws amazingly on her body, readers of Culturology are already familiar. The eerie painting creates the appearance that the artist really has a third ear growing on her cheek, an extra pair of eyes on her face, and her wrist is fastened with a zipper. Chuu-San portrays equally realistic scenes on models, turning their bodies into a field for experiments and three-dimensional illusions worthy of films based on Stephen King novels.

A first-year student at Tokyo's Musashino Art University, Chuu-San became known for her art mischief with acrylic paints on your body. But the art project, in which her volunteer friends were involved, turned out to be much more serious and larger. Painting the backs, stomachs and limbs of her friends with realistic drawings, the artist seeks to prove once again that such an effect can be achieved without the use of computer graphics and digital post-processing of photographs. And despite the fact that many do not believe in it, everything that Chuu-San draws is "live", real.

The young artist's second art project consists of illusory fasteners built into human bodies. Buttoned belly, zippered back, laced leg, just to name a few of the 3D designs that modify models. An impressive effect, especially when you consider that Chuu-San is just taking his first steps in this field, and is a self-taught artist receiving professional education. The artist gets great pleasure from her work, especially after the success of the first series of body painting. She believes that she was able to prove that a person can achieve success in painting even without a computer, and modify his body beyond recognition, both disfiguring it and embellishing it.

Body painting has existed for centuries and is characteristic of various cultures of the Pacific Islands, Australia, New Zealand and Africa. Popular in India, mehndi, a traditional henna body painting technique, is common even in modern Western cultures.

Since the 1960s, body art has seen a resurgence in the West, but it still struggles to be recognized as an art form, a claim disputed by some. But this direction has gathered an army of followers and admirers.

Body art is usually associated with nudity, but it does not necessarily imply a completely naked body, painting can be done on separate areas of the skin of a partially dressed model.

To enjoy body art in all its glory, it is best to visit the relevant festivals. They take place annually all over the world, bringing together stellar body painters and lesser-known enthusiasts. The largest body art festival takes place in Austria in the city of Bled. This large-scale event attracts thousands of visitors from all over the world. Similar events are held in different regions of America, Europe and Asia.

How to become a body art artist

We admire the fantastic talent of body painters, but it's no secret that anyone can take part. If you'd rather paint than be painted, get yourself a model.

First of all, be patient, as body art takes a lot of time. It is believed that six hours is a very short interval for a full painting of the body.

The main accessories are brushes, sponges, alcohol, a palette, a bottle of water and, of course, body paints, which are sold in specialized stores. They are non-toxic and safe.

Before you start, make sure you have a clear idea of ​​what you want to draw. It will not be superfluous to make several sketches.
Body painting can be intimidating at first, but in friendly atmosphere both the artist and the model quickly adapt to this. The pressure on the skin should be moderate, but not too light, as it can have a tickling effect. Be sure to tell your model how to remove the paint afterwards. Read the instructions, but one of better ways to remove the pattern - dishwashing liquid.

Use flooring and avoid paint of any hazard. Finally, clean all accessories and wash your hands.

Video about body art for pregnant women:

Sounds like the plot of a nightmare: you come to work and suddenly realize that you are completely naked. No one seems to notice, but you become aware of your nakedness and break into a cold sweat.

This is exactly what happened to one young girl. The only difference is that it wasn't a dream. Moreover, she did it on purpose. Of course, she did not go out into the street to flash her naked buttocks, her clothes were painted. Still, it takes courage to appear in in public places dressed only in panties and a coat of paint.

This crazy experiment teaches a lesson in accepting your body, loving yourself and realizing that it doesn't matter how you look, the main thing is what lies inside.

This is Julie. She decided to do this unusual experiment: "dress" only in body paint, go outside and see if anyone notices it or not.

Julie admitted that one of the reasons she agreed to the experiment was her low self-esteem self-doubt that has accompanied her all her life. It all started with a scathing comment from a classmate about her thighs when she dressed in a gymnastic leotard for a school musical.

Body painter Pashur House painted Julie in a white T-shirt and jeans. It took several hours, many layers of paint and, of course, a pair of panties to "dress" the girl in the painted clothes.

Julie had to wear underwear, because not everything can hide the paint.

But the level of detail is incredible. The artist even painted holes in jeans.

And the lapels looked completely three-dimensional. But despite the excellent work of the artist, Julie was still very worried.

“Feeling naked is like having negative thoughts about your body about flaws that no one but you can see. And he doesn’t understand, ”the girl shared.

The drawing process made Julie nervous. But the main test was ahead. When the artist finished his work, the girl had to go out into the world. Just her and the paint on her body.

Despite the fact that her body was covered with layers of paint, she still felt naked, exposed.

The artist puts the finishing touches and coats the girl's skin with a kind of sealant to keep the paint from peeling off within 24 hours.

Here is Julie a second before her exit. Would you have the courage to do so?

Julie went outside. Just look how realistic her "outfit" looks - you can't distinguish it from real clothes!

The people with whom she met and entered into a conversation did not notice anything. You have to get very close to suspect that something is wrong.

Julie's adventure comes to an end. She walks around the city in her paint, and no one even guesses what she is actually “wearing”.

For Julie, her bold experiment has become a kind of metaphor: “Being naked in public, you feel the same shame as if someone spoke unflatteringly about your appearance. If I could do that and go outside with just a coat of paint on, then I can bear the negative comments about my figure. And most importantly, how can you take people's words seriously if they look at you and don't see you. What matters is not how you look, but who you really are.
