When I was five or so, one of my aunts collected lipstick, eye shadow and liner from guests at a family gathering and painted the face, legs and arms of an attendee that had lots of leg and arm exposed. Everyone got their cameras out to snap photos as she posed for the crowd. Over the years, most photographs that made an impression involved body art of some sort. During college I sat through figure drawing and painting classes thinking it would be more interesting to paint the model instead of paper or canvas. Finally I've gotten around to trying it.

the human body is the most beautiful canvas an artist can create on...it's exquisite the way the curves and lines of the flesh enhance and interplay with the art elements and style representation

Beutiful work. Something that would normally be considered vulgar has been turned into a work of art!
