Not only girls, but also men began to pay attention to the bikini zone. An intimate haircut is not the only decoration method.
Different types of body art are becoming more popular every year - such a care for your body looks more vivid and unusual. But what is body art and what does it look like?
Body art is a simple and affordable way to decorate a bikini zone. Types of body art:
- body painting (leg art or body painting);
- tattoos;
- piercing
- scarring, etc.
To decorate intimate places, most often use painting or tattoo. Erotic tattoos are applied by people over 18 to increase their own attractiveness and sexuality.
Did you know? The most tattooed man in the world is Lucky Diamond Rich. Tattoo adorn his whole body, even the inside of his ears, eyelids, the skin between his fingers and foreskin.
Of course, to apply the drawing, you will have to bare yourself before the master. Men and women who adorn their body this way imply that not only they will see the image. This may be a surprise for the second half, preparation for the beach season or an image for a photo shoot.
Intimate area design
In male and female body art, in particular in intimate places, the main thing is the choice of design. Listen to yourself. Perhaps you have the makings of an artist, and you will be able to independently create a sketch of a future creation.
If your design doesn’t work out, it’s not a problem either. The Internet, various magazines, catalogs of masters or stencils will help you find the right picture. Do not forget that you can trust the artist. A good specialist will recreate an individual drawing depending on your preferences.
All for
Body painting is an absolutely safe art. The skin of the model during drawing is not damaged, therefore, the risk of infection is minimized. Masters use, as a rule, hypoallergenic paint.
Tattoo as a type of body art is not inferior in brightness and originality to body painting. Its advantage is the duration of the wear pattern, which fully justifies the cost of the procedure.
Body art in intimate places, both female and male, gives self-confidence and brings diversity to intimate life. Such a work of art will not go unnoticed by your other half.
All against
If we are talking about a tattoo, then one of the minuses is the duration of the wear image. The pattern that you painted in your youth is likely to look ridiculous at the age of 40 or more. For tattoos, paint that causes allergies can be used.
In addition, choosing an unreliable wizard can also suffer due to non-sterile tools. It is worth noting the pain of the procedure.
Body painting does not carry such a threat. Its only negative is the price. A good master is quite expensive, and the drawing 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 as an ornament of one or another part of them:
- persons;
- and even intimate places.
Body painting is an absolutely safe view. It does not damage the skin, looks bright and beautiful. Body painting is a truly feminine type of body art.
Men, as a rule, are more decisive and prefer tattoos. They do not wash off after a week. Getting a tattoo from an intimate place is very difficult. But to apply it is not a pleasant matter.
More often, the choice falls on a less painful type of body art - body painting.
Important! Choose a master carefully.
Please note:
- what colors the artist uses, because the duration of the wear of the drawing on the body depends on this;
- does he have all the necessary consumables (alcohol lotion, cream, fixative, etc.).
How to choose paints
For body art, several varieties of paint are used:
- Henna stays on the skin for about 3 weeks. Previously, it was presented only in brown and red colors. At the moment, the gamut has expanded significantly. Natural henna has a brown color. Sometimes manufacturers add herbs to it so that the shade of the paint becomes darker or copper. Paints based on henna come in a variety of colors: from orange to purple.
- Glitter is a paint without henna. It consists of only sparkles 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 by glue and sprinkled with sparkles. Such a tattoo is worn up to 2 weeks.
- Makeup is also used to paint the body. With it, you can create bright and rich drawings. The main difficulty is fixation. He does not hold well and is suitable only for a photo shoot.
- Face painting, with which they draw multicolor drawings with transitions, shading, clear graphics, etc., is elastic. It does not crack, has a bright and rich color scheme. Paints dry quickly, do not have an allergic effect. Without the use of a retainer, the pattern is washed off with the first shower. The lock protects the image. The period of socks of such a creation is still insignificant.
- Airbrush paints that spray material with compressed air. These paints include acrylic and liquid face painting. The first has a water base and strongly tightens the skin.
- Alcohol paints are used for painting tattoos, creating special effects and drawings. They are activated in the same way as they are removed - with the help of alcohol. The main advantage - paints are not washed off by water. But remember that alcohol dries the skin.
- Gouache - material for aspiring artists. She lays well. The layers of paint do not mix if they manage to dry. The main drawback is the cracking of the picture when completely dry. To avoid this, add petroleum jelly, glycerin or shampoo. This will add elasticity to the gouache. Sock time - 1 day.
- The body art pencil does not require additional brushes. It lasts about 3 days, and with a latch - a week.
- The marker for tattooing is very similar to a pencil: a bright, saturated color. Such a pattern is worn for about 3 days. It comes off spots.
What will be needed yet
Depending on the paint you may need:
- various brushes (thick, puff, etc.);
- sponge;
- template;
- airbrush.
Some paints can be applied with fingers. If it is supposed to decorate the picture with rhinestones, then in addition you 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 confirms the mummy of Otzi.
Of liquid consumables, an alcohol solution is required. To extend the socks of the pattern - a retainer or hair spray.
Skin preparation
Skin before applying body art should be prepared. Be sure to remove the hair from the area on which the drawing 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 should be absorbed into the skin.
Create a drawing
In body art, the main thing is the idea. You can choose a picture yourself from the master’s catalog or online resources, or trust the artist.
After preparing the skin, the master must process the tools and hands. Next, prepare paints and stencils, if necessary. For example, gouache is diluted with shampoo, petroleum jelly or glycerin, liquid face painting is opened and placed in an airbrush, etc. After this, you can start applying.
If the drawing is done in gouache, then each coat of paint is dried naturally or with a hairdryer so that the layers do not mix with each other.
Important! The final image should dry completely.
After applying the image, experienced craftsmen cover the patterns with special fixatives in the form of sprays.
Erotic body art is not only a beautiful picture, but also one of the elements of your self-confidence. It can be a work of art, a kind of cartoon, a frightening image, and anything 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 male and female bodies in intimate places
The 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 relax. 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 creativity of a Japanese artist Chuo-san, which draws amazingly on her body, readers of Cultural Studies are already familiar. The eerie painting creates the appearance that the artist actually has a third ear on her cheek, an extra pair of eyes on her face, and a wrist fastened with a zipper. Chuu-San also depicts realistic scenes on models, turning their bodies into a field for experiments and three-dimensional illusions worthy of films based on Stephen King's novels.
Freshman of Tokyo Musashino Art University, Chuu-san became famous for her art indulgence with acrylic paints on her body. But that art project, in which her volunteer friends involved, turned out to be much more serious and larger. By painting realistic drawings of the backs, stomachs and limbs of her friends, the artist seeks once again to prove 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 “living,” real.
The second in a row art project of the young artist consists of illusory clasps embedded in human bodies. A belly with buttons, a back with a zipper, a leg with lacing, and these are just a few three-dimensional drawings that modify the models. An impressive effect, especially when you consider that Chuu-San is taking only the first steps in this field, and is a self-taught artist who receives a professional education. The artist takes 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 without a computer, and modify his body beyond recognition, both disfigured and embellished.
Body painting has existed for centuries and is characteristic of various cultures of the Pacific Islands, Australia, New Zealand and Africa. The popular mehndi in India, a traditional henna body painting technique, is common even in modern Western cultures.
Since the 1960s, body art has revived in the West, but he still struggles to recognize it as a form of art, which some artists dispute. But this direction has gathered an army of followers and fans.
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 are held annually around the world, bringing together stellar body-painting artists and lesser-known enthusiasts. The largest body art festival takes place in Bled, Austria. 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 painting masters, but it is no secret that anyone can take part. If you prefer to paint rather than be painted, find 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 body painting.
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 begin, make sure that you have a clear idea of \u200b\u200bwhat you want to draw. It will not be superfluous to make several sketches.
Body painting can be frightening at first, but in a friendly atmosphere both the artist and the model quickly adapt to this. 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 subsequently remove the paint. Read the instructions, but one of the best ways to remove a picture is dishwashing liquid.
Use a floor covering and avoid paints of any degree of danger. Finally, clean all accessories and wash your hands.

Video about body art for pregnant women:
It sounds like the plot of a nightmare: you come to work and suddenly realize that you are completely naked. Nobody seems to notice this, but you are aware of your nakedness and are sweating in cold sweat.
This is exactly what happened to one young girl. The only difference is that it was not a dream. Moreover, she did it on purpose. Of course, she did not go out into the street to glitter with bare buttocks, her clothes were painted. And still, it requires courage to appear in public places, dressed only in panties and a coat of paint.
This crazy experiment teaches you a lesson in accepting your body, in self-love and in realizing that no 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 someone would notice it or not.
Julie admitted that one of the reasons she agreed to the experiment was her low self-esteem, self-doubt, which accompanied her all her life. It all started with a classmate's caustic comment about her hips when she dressed in a gymnastics leotard for a school musical.
Body art specialist Pashur House painted a white T-shirt and jeans on Julie. In order to “dress” the girl in painted clothes, it took several hours, many layers of paint and, of course, a pair of panties.
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 experiencing negative thoughts about your body about flaws that no one else sees. And she 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 was to enter the world. Only she and the paint on her body.
Despite the fact that her body was covered with layers of paint, she still felt naked, on display.
The artist puts the finishing touches and covers the skin of the girl with something like a sealant so that the paint does not wear off within 24 hours.
Here is Julie a second before her release. Would you have the courage to do that?
Julie went outside. Just look how realistic her “outfit” looks - you can’t tell it from real clothes!
The people with whom she met and entered into conversation did not notice anything. You need to come very close to suspect that something is wrong.
Julie's adventure is drawing to a close. She walks around the city in her own paint, and no one even guesses what is really “wearing” on her.
For Julie, her bold experiment became a kind of metaphor: “Being naked in public, you feel the same shame as if someone was unflattering about your appearance. If I could do this and go outside, covered only with a layer of paint, then I can make negative comments about my figure. And most importantly - how can you seriously take the words of people if they look at you and do not see. The important thing is not how you look, but what you really are. ”
