body painter
Human canvas decorator
A body painter is an artist who paints designs directly onto human skin, using the body as a canvas.
The work ranges from artistic expression and theatrical costume to camouflage photography where painted figures blend into backgrounds.
Body painting may be temporary for events and performances or documented primarily through photography: The body painter transformed her model into a living tiger.
