Yesterday my 'genius level' GAG friend, I'm not kidding, @TarrAva gave me the idea for this post, so because of her, and my, love of this type of art, and with Ava's help, I have compiled this presentation of some of the best body painting art on the planet which I have entitled... "The @TarrAva Collection"
Most of these are either hand picked by Ava or from a compilation of hers that I picked from.
Pick one, or more, of your favorites numbered 1-10 in your comments, or post your own.
Do you see it as a true art form, as it is meant to be, or something else?

PICK YOUR FAVORITE, and then answer the question... is body painting art your thing?
What can I say but thanks for the honor of posting what I would never have dared to do myself.
This is a sensational myTake, mainly in view of the fact that for me art is, together with music, the supreme expression of feelings that range from deepest sadness to utmost exhilaration.
I have a difficult time ranking them because to me, anyone that can perform art at such level is truly worth being #1.
Even though #4 is the art with the least body coverage, I chose it to be my favorite because I see the expression on the woman's face that looks to this baby as if was her own.
Ranking 2nd. for me would be the 5. I see a reflection of such beauty that those 5 women are able to present in the shape of a frog. The first time I saw the picture, I got fooled until someone told me that they were 5 girls with body paintings and positioned in such a way as to form this figure.
I also like #1 & #3 equally. It goes to show that despite the fact that those girls are posing full frontal, there is absolutely nothing lewd about their pose. This type of art does not care about the body shape or size. Every single girl in those pictures is beautifully rendered.
I wish that people would see every woman and man's body as a unique piece of art, regardless whether it is painted or not. There are no 2 totally similar bodies in the world. The proof is that with a little imagination, color and an immense talent, every body is a masterpiece.
Take the colors away and some people will say that a specific body is nothing special but when painted, it is an ephemeral piece of art. Learn to see and appreciate the body for what it can be. A canvas for a masterpiece.
I actually do like body paint but for filming and theatrical stuff. So I watch shows about body paint for ideas since I'm in that industry. However, I wouldn't just wear it out and about. I like it on sets and etc. Its a bit much anywhere else.
Full bodypaint, no. I've yet to do it sadly. But I've done almost fully covered on stage during some shows though. I'm sure I will eventually though. Just to try it.
I think its very pleasent looking form of painting and quite hard one to make tbh i have had myself painted and from the above choices i like the number 1 -3 and 8 -10 most
I think body painting is pretty cool. 🙂 It is an artistic form of expression, as well as an expression of non-shame and being comfortable in the human body. I have seen several really cool examples, including a couple of the ones you have posted, and I like it as an artistic medium. It's very interesting to look at. Some of them are illusions that are almost like puzzles, like the frog and tiger face one; to see and figure out how many people are in them that makes up the composition of the image. 🙂 I like the one below in particular. It's very clever.
As for my favourite ones, I have seen the frog one (#5) before and that one is really cool. The baby one (#4) is touching as well. But I also like the landscape one (#1)! That is pretty cool too. I always like those ones, because of the amount of time and effort it takes to paint all the features of the background on the subject in front and to properly align it all within the camera's lens! It must take an incredible amount of time and talent to pull that off! I have seen some pretty amazing versions of that kind of theme before.
Some are better than others, but there is something interesting about all of them. However, the one that catches my eye is the denim one (#3). Mostly because blue is my favourite colour. lol 😊
But yeah, I think body painting can be very artistic and very creative, and some, not so much. lol But I think it is a really cool medium and form of expression. I'm all for it. 👍🙂
I had seen body painting before, but it was that image of the parrots that kind of captured me and my imagination. Because when I first saw it, I had absolutely NO clue they were human! 😳 It was a total mind warp! lol From then on, I really started to dig this medium of artistic and physical expression. I have also seen some pretty cool ones involving guys too. It's not just a female thing. It can be a really interesting canvas that, when done really well, can also make you mind work and cause you to look at things in different ways. I think it's awesome. 🙂
Your right. But imagine if some perv guy got realized that she was completely naked... he got a lot at something on her saw she was... you know there are people out there with no self-control...
Looks like a prank. Goes to show that when artists are so good at what they are doing, it is difficult to make the difference between reality and fiction
@laurieluvsit she should have just had a GoPro.. I don't know if they would have ever found out.. one in the front and the back... I don't know how else would have seen the reactions
The thing is that this little object of so many desires is in the way and the result would be just dangling about when walking. I am not sure on how to overcome this handicap ;-)
I am not the one that will hold it in place! and the elastic strap is not big enough to fit around the waist. Perhaps tying the elastic around the twin sisters may be the right solution

those are amazing! I see art as expressing something in human emotion or captures something in space and time. For me, maybe not so much art. But it is artistic and I appreciate the skill, the beauty. I'm open to changing my mind, I thought about it for 5 seconds...
Maybe it is a new form of clothing for those that don't like the feel of clothes?

It's actually one of the very unique art if done right.. Body painting can be relaxing.. Also teach you how shades of your physical appearance merges with surroundings..
Body painting is also very useful if done right can help you achieve different levels of camouflage..
Tribals all over the world used body painting for years.. To carry a camouflage to hunt their prey.. It's a lost Art.. But it's worth learning.. With skin friendly colors.
@TarrAva Well!.. I will make sure the Rubs are gentle with a really soft stimulating cloth!.. Plenty of Rubs until the Canvas is Clean.. So the canvas doesn't changes color!.. 😉 Or will it!.
@TarrAva Hum!. But she would already be peachy!. With all those Soft, Small, Paint-Wet, hair-brushes Running smoothly with cool Paint.. All over her.. Sending wild impulses!.. With every Touch!.. I will be not be surprised.. If the city I paint on her begins to look like it suffered earthquake, Because too much Brushing all over her Body!.. Could definitely Bring a Big-O earthquake!. 😊
Just use soft "strokes with a delicate brush. A fan brush or Filbert brush will do. Make sure always to brush in the same direction and no wild circle movements.
@TarrAva But the pinnacle of Beauty that this Canvas is!. It has some amazing curves.. That might need a few circular waves for the perfect touch of Art..
Work of Creation needs to be gentle!.. Being an artist it's one of the things, that I savor.. The flicking waves of sensation, born out of gentleness..
I hope it does not offends the city that I might need to blow a little air from my lips.. to quickly Dry of the paint on some walls.. In the city!.. 😉
I wouldn’t save anything. I’d have to buy paint, and I’d have to pay an artist to paint on the clothes because I doubt any human being is flexible or skilled enough to do it by themselves, and I’d have to pay more for heating in my own home because I would be freezing all the time. I’d also have to sacrifice all of my comfort when leaving my house because Mother Nature isn’t going to keep things warm for me and owners of other buildings aren’t either, and I’ll probably also have to pay for extensive therapy to help me cope with the daily humiliation of going out naked every day and everyone seeing me.
i can't say i like it or not, i never done it before i would not go for the long ones, i am way too impatient, but some easy sexy ones , sure. i like number 2 best
True, that is why I also said that my favorite in the myTake was the one of the lady holding the baby on her breast. It is small but artistically just as beautiful
