Face-painting was always fun when we were kids, so why wouldn’t it be fun now? Ancient tribes painted themselves for ceremonies and celebrations centuries ago, and the practice is still popular today. From fashion shoots to political protests, body painting is a powerful form of expression. Our bodies are unique canvasses that allow artists to explore different techniques and achieve amazing results. Every year in Austria, the World Body-painting Festival brings people together to take part in, appreciate, and showcase body painting. There are even conventions and competitions for it! Some of us are okay with settling for a simple flower or animal face, but the ladies listed below went above and beyond in modeling these looks. Scroll through these incredible photos and then find a body painting festival near you this summer. Let someone turn your beautiful bod into a work of art – you’ll feel awesome, trust me!
