Body painting on a woman's body in 18 intimate places. Design of male and female private parts (Bodypainting)

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

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

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

To enjoy body art in all its glory, it is best to visit the corresponding festivals. They take place annually around the world, bringing together star body painting artists 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 painting artists, 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 long time. It is believed that six hours is a very short interval for a full body painting.

The main supplies 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 wouldn't hurt to make a few sketches.
Body painting can be intimidating at first, but in a friendly atmosphere, both artist and model quickly adapt to it. The pressure on the skin should be moderate, but not too light, as it may have a tickling effect. Be sure to tell your model how to remove the paint afterwards. Read the instructions, but one of the best ways to remove the pattern is with dishwashing liquid.

Use floor coverings and avoid paints of any hazard. Finally, clean all supplies and wash your hands.

Body art– a phrase borrowed from the English language. The term is translated as “body art”. That is, the concept is comprehensive and indicates many things that transform the external nature of a person. Implants, branding, scarring and tattoos are all part of body painting.

Body painting is also part of it. In the West it is called body painting. But in Russia the term has not caught on - it is difficult to remember and is not associated with drawings on the body. Therefore, in our country they are designated as body art, without taking into account the other facets of this concept. To be fair, we will consider all aspects of the art of the body.

Tattoo as part of the art of body painting

A classic tattoo differs from body painting in terms of service life. Conventional body painting is superficial and easily washed off. Pigments for tattoos penetrate inside the cells, where they remain for life. Some paints may wash out or fade in the sun. But the general contours of the picture and color spots will remain.

They persist even after a person’s death if the body is mummified. So, in 1948, Sergei Rudenko found several embalmed bodies on the border with China. A Russian archaeologist discovered multiple ones on the remains. The bodies were sent for analysis and it was found that they were about 2,400 years old.

So it already existed then body art. painting It was applied not with needles, but with pointed sticks. This technique was also used in Egypt. On its territory they found a tattooed mummy, whose age is about 4,000 years. The priestess of one of the ancient temples, in which she was buried, used her body as a canvas.

Some modern ones will not provide any information to future archaeologists. The point is not even that the culture of mummification of bodies has been lost, but that the drawings simply will not be preserved. Many designs of the 21st century can no longer be called tattoos. Masters do not use needles. The skin is colored with brushes.

Natural coloring pigments are used, for example, henna. It seeps into the cells, but not deeply. Within a couple of weeks after application, the patterns disappear, are washed off with water and go away along with dead epidermal cells. This is the name of the top layer of skin. Temporary tattoos are a kind of transition from baudiart to body painting.

Body painting as part of body art

Body painting is not inferior to ancient times. Suffice it to recall the wild tribes of Africa and the Indians of North America, who applied frightening “make-up” before hunting and battles. Often, not the whole body was painted, but only the face. This direction of painting is called face art. The art of face painting is closely related to the field of makeup.

It's no secret that make-up sometimes requires masking some elements on the face. For example, makeup artists cover up redness with green concealer. In the color wheel, grassy tones are located opposite red ones, neutralizing them. Apply regular foundation on top and... you get perfect skin.

Naked body art, that is, painting a naked body, also requires some kind of disguise. The video below has an age limit of 18+, so if you are under the age of majority, do not press the play button. By clicking on it you confirm that you are over 18 years old.

Not everyone dares to appear before the master, so to speak, in all his glory. Therefore, silicone stickers are used. They are attached with glue, covering secondary sexual characteristics, for example, nipples. The surface of the overlays is designed for easy paint distribution and rapid hardening. The color of the stickers matches the skin, does not stand out on the body and does not spoil body art

Photo Special stickers are usually offered by foreign stores. Bodypainting is most developed in the West and America. There is a salon procedure, a lot of competitions with substantial prizes are held. In Russia there was an attempt to organize a national championship, but in 2002 it was canceled.

The phenomenon was partially explained nudists. Body art for them it is their favorite “clothing”. But in Russia the climate is not conducive to nudism or body painting. But in the same states there are thousands of nudist communities. Therefore, the service is in demand “ body art". Video professional works are posted online and included in a portfolio.

Worldwide body art association has existed since 2001. The best masters who are listed in the organization are foreigners. Famous Italian Johannes Stetter. He is not only an artist, but also the organizer of a folk group. The man’s musical preferences are reflected in many of his works. The paintings are original and full of mysticism.

Master Cho-San is famous in Japan. She specializes in the visual merging of people with nature. Models are set against the backdrop of mountains, forests, interiors and painted to match them. As a rule, professional fashion models act as “canvases”. It is not easy for an ordinary person to stand for 5-6 hours. But, you get an artistic masterpiece for free, and sometimes an additional payment for your work.

In the USA they are ready to pose for free if James Kuhn draws. Only this master doesn’t need models. A man paints himself. Specializes in body art on the face, your own. Jame depicts self-portraits, but modifies his appearance—he appears in the form of a boar, or a shaman. There are already almost 400 works captured in the photo.

Scarring as part of body art

Body art – body painting and... it doesn’t matter what it’s made of. Scarring is the creation of patterns with blades. In ancient times, glass shards and sharp stones were used. Evidence of scarification is almost 5,000 years old. The technique was invented by African tribes. On dark-skinned bodies they are not visible, but compositions of scars are noticeable.

They are voluminous, so they catch the eye. By the way, to make the scars more convex, they use the juices of poisonous plants. They are poured onto deep cuts. Previously, the technique was used everywhere, but now only some women in Sudan use it.

Scarification is included in body art Buy The service is also available under the name scarification. This is the official name of the technique, also coming from the English language. The term is not popular, and the phenomenon is not popular either. According to statistics, out of 100 people with only 1-2 also undergo scarring.

Firstly, there are few smart craftsmen. Secondly, the pain during the procedure is strong, and in order for the drawing to look impressive, large areas of the body must be involved. So, most choose the usual body art Women Scarification is especially rare.

Implantation as a type of body art

Implantation is a concept made up of two Latin words - “inside” and “planting”. Initially, the term was medical. But gradually implantation became part of the trend body art Photos confirm that it is possible to push metal balls and silicone molds under the skin for the sake of beauty. Many people find this beauty controversial, but such is all modern art. It is intended to shock, make you think, worry, and not just enjoy the ideality of the images.

So instead of body art paints implants are taken. They can be round, in the form of bagels, stars, pyramids. You can choose any variations and create a composition from them. Some, for example, ask for horns on the forehead. Others want spikes sticking out of their fingers, like brass knuckles.

The parts can be left under the skin, or partially brought out. It all depends on the wishes of the client who has chosen an unusual body art Women photos, as a rule, are laid out with stars and devil horns. Men prefer to radically change their appearance, for example, greatly enlarging one of the frontal lobes. Bodypainting video The video below will clearly show how implants are installed, but I would like to warn you that this spectacle is not for the faint of heart.

Branding as types of body art

Officially, the procedure is called branding. It is believed that the movement has its origins in the slave system. In it, special signs were applied to the workers’ bodies, indicating that the people were slaves. The drawings were made with hot iron seals. This is the technique of applying patterns even now. So, branding is not included in the list " pregnant body art" The pain is such that involuntary contraction of the internal muscles can occur, and this is one of the causes of miscarriages.

If body art body painting on photo, as a rule, is planar, then branding gives convex patterns. When the redness and scabs from burns go away, thick, voluminous lines remain. They are a little lighter than the rest of the skin, not . Therefore, to highlight the drawings, many take sunbathing.

Branding is rarely included in the category porn body art" The sight of human suffering excites few. The procedure is painful and the healing of burns is painful. You have to refrain from scratching and constantly treat the wounds with antiseptics.

Not only girls, but also men began to pay attention to the bikini area. An intimate haircut is not the only decoration method.

Various types of body art are becoming more and more popular every year - this type of body care looks more vibrant and unusual. But what is “body art” and what does it look like?

Body art is a simple and affordable way to decorate the bikini area. Types of body art:

• body painting (leg art or body painting);
• tattoos;
• piercing;
• scarring, etc.

To decorate intimate places, painting or tattoos are most often used. Erotic tattoos are applied by people over 18 years of age in order to increase their own attractiveness and sexuality.

Did you know? The most tattooed person in the world is Lucky Diamond Rich. Tattoos adorn his entire body, even the inside of his ears, eyelids, the skin between his fingers and his foreskin.

Of course, to apply the drawing you will have to be naked in front of the master. Men and women who decorate their bodies in this way mean that not only they will see the image. This could be a surprise for your other half, preparation for the beach season, or an image for a photo shoot.

Design of intimate areas

In men's and women's body art, in particular on 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 your future creation.

If the design doesn’t work out for you, that’s also not a problem. The Internet, various magazines, catalogs of masters or stencils will help you find a suitable design. Don't forget that you can trust the artist too. A good specialist will recreate an individual drawing depending on your preferences.

All for

Body painting is an absolutely safe art. The model's skin is not damaged during the application of the pattern, so the risk of infection is minimized. Craftsmen usually use hypoallergenic paint.

Tattoo as a type of body art is not inferior in brightness and originality to body painting. Its advantage is the length of time the pattern is worn, which fully justifies the cost of the procedure.

Body art on intimate places, both female and male, gives self-confidence and brings variety to intimate life. Such a work of art will not go unnoticed by your other half.

Everyone is against

If we're talking about about tattoos, one of the disadvantages is the length of time the image is worn. The drawing you made when you were young will most likely look awkward when you're 40 or older. Tattoos may use ink that causes allergies.

In addition, if you choose an unreliable specialist, you can suffer due to unsterile instruments. It is worth noting that the procedure is painful.

Body painting does not pose such a threat. Its only negative is the price. A good master is quite expensive, and the design lasts about 3 days or 3 weeks, depending on the paint.

Features of intimate body art

Body art is applied to male and female bodies 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. Body painting is a truly feminine form of body art.

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

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

Important! Choose your professional carefully.

Please note:

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

How to choose paints

Several types of paint are used for body art:

1. Henna lasts on the skin for about 3 weeks. Previously, it was presented only in brown and red colors. At the moment, the range has expanded significantly. Natural henna is brown in color. Sometimes manufacturers add herbs to it to make the color of the paint darker or copper. Henna-based dyes come in different colors: from orange to purple.
2. Glitter is a dye without henna. It contains 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 design is created with glue and sprinkled with glitter. This tattoo is worn for up to 2 weeks.
3. Makeup is also used for body painting. With its help you can create bright and rich drawings. The main difficulty is fixation. It doesn't hold up well and is only suitable for a photo shoot.
4. Face painting, with the help of which multicolor drawings are drawn with transitions, shading, clear graphics, etc., is characterized by elasticity. It does not crack, has a bright and rich color range. The paints dry quickly and do not have an allergic effect. Without using a fixative, the pattern will wash off with the first shower. The lock protects the image. The wearing period of such a creation is still insignificant.
5. Paints for an airbrush, which sprays material using compressed air. These paints include acrylic and liquid face painting. The first is water-based and strongly tightens the skin.
6. Alcohol paints are used to paint over tattoos, create special effects and drawings. They are activated 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 fits well. The layers of paint do not mix if they have time to dry. The main disadvantage is that the pattern cracks when completely dry. To avoid this, add Vaseline, glycerin or shampoo to your paints. This will give the gouache elasticity. Wearing 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 tattoo pen is very similar to a pencil: bright, rich color. This pattern is worn for about 3 days. Comes off in spots.

What else will you need?

Depending on the paint you may need:

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

Some paints can also be applied with your fingers. If you intend to decorate the design with rhinestones, then you will additionally need to purchase stones and special glue or self-adhesive bindis.

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

For liquid consumables, you will definitely need an alcohol solution. To extend the wear of the design, use a fixative or hairspray.

Skin preparation

The skin should be prepared before applying body art. Be sure to remove hair from the area where the design 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.

Creating a drawing

In body art, the main thing is the idea. You can choose a drawing yourself from the artist’s catalog or online resources, or you can trust the artist.

After preparing the skin, the master must treat 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 this, you can begin application.

If the drawing is done in 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 applying the image, experienced craftsmen cover the drawings 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 piece of art, some kind of cartoon, a scary image, or whatever you want. If you are still in doubt, just look at examples of how body art looks great even on private parts.

The Austrian city of Klagenfurt am Wörthersee hosted the World Bodypainting Festival, which annually attracts about 30 thousand spectators. Previously, the festival was held in the city of Pörtschach am Wörther See, but this year the organizers decided to change the location. The festival traditionally attracts the best masters of body art from about 50 countries around the world, who use the human body as a canvas to realize their amazing ideas.

Last Friday in Austria, on Lake Wörth, the three-day World Bodypainting Festival began, in which more than 300 artists from 45 countries took part.

Participants competed in different painting techniques: “Brush”, “Sponge”, “Airbrush”, “Special effects”. As part of the festival, various exhibitions and parties were organized, where guests danced in spectacular costumes and outfits painted on the body.

28-year-old designer and fashion designer Kay Pike from Calgary, Canada, knows how to transform into superheroes and supervillains using body painting. The girl says that particularly complex “transformations” take her about 15 hours and about $150 for paint.

The girl first tried body painting in December 2015, when she transformed herself into a character from the manga “Attack on Titan.”

Photographer and artist John Poppleton creates fantastic works of art that combine the beauty of the female form with the splendor of nature.

All this looks mystical and fascinating.

We could not even imagine that body art could be like this.

Friends and acquaintances of Natalie Fletcher know firsthand what it means to completely merge with nature. The fact is that Natalie is a talented artist who paints landscapes on human bodies that allow people to become one with Mother Nature.

Makeup artist and body painter Emma Fay, 27, who moved to Leicester last year, has wowed the world with her Spider work, which has gone viral around the world.

When art and human plasticity merge, a miracle is born.

The human body is a perfect canvas. Its beauty and plasticity make it possible to create a work of art directly on your hands and feet. It’s especially cool when an artist manages to create not just a beautiful drawing, but a visual illusion. As a result, a person simply cannot be distinguished from some flamingo.

We have collected for you 20 cool examples of body art that prove that man and nature are one.

Pink flamingo

Vancouver photographer Spencer Kovats created an unusual series of photographs showing people whose bodies are covered with tattoos. If you meet such a person in clothes, you will not think that there is a painted body underneath.

The French actress Jeanne Moreau has a wonderful aphorism: “We have so many words for the state of the soul, and so few for the state of the body.” Seeing the works of a famous American artist Craig Tracy the thought creeps in that this master of body art managed to find the necessary forms to express the state of human bodies. His paintings are an amazing world that comes to life on the naked bodies of models and blurs the boundaries between reality and fiction.

On the website Culturology.ru we have repeatedly written about the works. Most often he turns to creation. Just look at the image created in defense of endangered animals!

Creating paintings is a painstaking and time-consuming task. Craig needs several days to plan what the future work of art will look like, and another 9 hours to apply the drawing to the body. Craig often uses the model's body to bring his vision to life, but sometimes he uses the environment as a backdrop to emphasize the depth of the image.

Craig has been creative since childhood. His family photo album contains many photographs of his family at Mardi Gras, one of the largest costume parties in the world. In his youth, Craig painted a lot of paintings, but the boundaries of traditional art were always tight for him. That is why he turned to the technique of airbrushing, applying paint to any surface. First there were faces, and then there were bodies. For more than twenty years, the artist has been painting the bodies of models not only with a brush, but also using an airbrush.

Craig admits that he is often inspired to create a painting by a specific person or even a certain pose. Each of his works carries a great intellectual load, it reflects a certain aspect of culture or captures enchanting pictures of nature. The artist avoids working with the same model twice, since each new body serves as a source of inspiration for him. The exception is paintings in which only some parts of the model’s body were involved - arms, legs or face. The master of body art emphasizes that each new body is akin to a new unknown adventure for him.
