Key West, Florida has one of the best body painting competitions around. Each year during Fantasy Fest it’s held on the waterfront overlooking the scenic Key West harbor. Beautiful, sexy women and creative and talented body painting artists come to the city during the week long adult themed costume party that culminates with a huge parade on the closing Saturday night.

Everyday during the week long event Body Painting Artists can be seen setting up their painting booths on the streets and painting the bodies of very sexy women with various exotic body art designs. Some woman get a different body painted design everyday and walk the streets showing off their body art as they await the real competition to begin at the Friday evening Living Arts Body Painting Contest.

Though this art form has been around for centuries, many people haven’t tuned-in to this creative outlet. Some people claim that body painting is actually the oldest art form (Considering that people were painting their body’s pre-anno domini. Just think of early century Egyptians). And, with adult body painting companies and artist all around the globe, one would probably have little difficulty finding an artist close by.

Adult body painting is an art that uniquely transforms your everyday skin into a beautiful picturesque scene or life form. How? Glad you asked. By using safe, FDA approved make-up, oils, and other various paints and applying it directly to your skin. Any part of your skin. Oh yes, that’s right, any part. Body painting artists are extremely professional and willing to cover any part of your body that you so desire, from head to toe. Or, if you can’t make your mind up on which body part to paint, you can have your entire body brushed with a plethora of colors that completely disguises the real you underneath. Unless, of course, you really are Smokey the Bear. By method of airbrushing, painting, and drawing, your body can soon be entirely transformed into your fantasy.

Depending on the piece of art you choose, the process can take from a few minutes to several hours. The Hanging Gardens weren’t grown in fifteen minutes and either is the mastery of adult body painting when given the task of turning you into a fire-breathing dragon.

However, don’t misunderstand. Not all body painting means having to get nude. In fact, any small portion of your skin can be painted into a beautiful piece. For instance, many people who want to see what a tattoo would look like on the arm, hand, foot, shoulder, neck, or elsewhere often choose to have their body painted first to make sure they will like it for the rest of their lives. Others just appreciate the art and have paintings done on parts of their body for display or to be kept private. Whatever the case may be, there really is not a limit to what a person can have painted on their body. From a butterfly, to a Dragon, a star pattern, or a floral display, or anything you may choose can be body painted by the right artist.

Body painting typically will last for a couple of days and can easily be removed. Because body painting is not permanent, you have the option to become many things over the course of time. The only thing that should be holding you up from getting painted is your wildest imagination and choosing what you want to be next!
