Exotic body painting is body art that is considered to be one of the most ancient forms of art. Body painting, unlike tattoos, is not permanent and does not stain the skin like Henna. Body paint only stays on the skin for a few hours.

Exotic body painting uses the naked form (male or female) as a canvas. The natural lines and curves of the human body in its natural state can lead to many beautiful paintings. Body art is often seen to depict something wild and animalistic like a cougar or lion. In the casual sense, the body can be painted much like a tattoo, ranging from the mythical to the very real.

In the 50's and early 60's, exotic body painting involved covering a naked body with paint and having the subject roll around on a large canvas (or other medium) to transfer the paint. This technique of painting creates an image transfer reflected as an outline of the human form or a shadow figure. The art was rarely monotone and more than one color would be used. Sometimes more than one model would be used for each color in order to create several contrasts.

Body painting does not have to be for photo shoots or clubbing. Couples can participate in exotic body art in their own homes as a way to heighten sexual release. The couples can explore their partner's body on a most intimate level as they spread paint all over them.

Body painting is a form of body art, and has probably been around since the beginning of civilization. In almost every tribalist culture, body painting was performed during ceremonies or merely just for the beauty of it. Back then they used clay and other natural pigments.

Body painting still survives in parts of the world, and especially 'Mehndi', the form of body painting that uses henna dyes, is now very popular in the western world. The henna tattoo is semi-permanent.

Since the 1960's, body painting emerged as an actual art form. However, there is the never-ending discussion about it's social acceptability because body painting practically always involves nudity.

But no art without paint of course, and you'll be happy to know that the paint is restricted to guidelines: the body paint has to be non-toxic and non-allergenic. The paint easily washes of with water and soap.

As for the henna dyes, which Mehndi uses, there's a difference between the synthetic black henna, and the natural brown henna. The natural henna dye is completely safe when body painting, but the synthetic black henna dye could cause allergic reactions. You should have yourself patch tested before using these at body painting.
