don't think i ever fully understood the point of body painting - except maybe as a commercial gimmick like when a magazine do it with some celebrity to sell more magazines
I don't think it's just marketing. I think the idea of bodypainting is cool and I would love to be body painted one day. It's interesting that you can make yourself the canvas and all the different designs and creations you can have on you. For example if I ever get body painted I would love to be fully painted like a tiger or cheetah or a cool predator like that.
It's a form of art that I find amazing, and I'm the LAST person to find a lot of art amazing lol.
