How to Body Paint

Summary: Body painting is considered to be one of the most ancient forms of art known to man. It is a temporary art that only lasts either a couple of hours , in the case of regular paints, or a couple of weeks in the case of Mehndi (henna tattoo). In most, if not all, tribal cultures the painting of bodies was a staple for religious and celebratory ceremonies.
