Body painters are artists who use the human body as a canvas to create intricate designs and artwork. They apply special paints that are safe for skin, allowing them to transform a person's appearance into a work of art. This practice can be seen at festivals, events, and in various forms of performance art. The art of body painting often involves techniques similar to those used in traditional painting, such as airbrushing and brushwork. Body painters may also participate in competitions and exhibitions, showcasing their skills alongside other artists in the field, such as face painters and temporary tattoo artists.
