Body tattoos usually cover a relatively small portion of the body. Tattoos, probably known by all, are permanent decorations on the body applied through the use of an electrically ran needle. Body painting is very similar to painting on canvas, however, it can be more difficult to accomplish as the body has contours that makes painting pictures and scenes on the body more complicated. Body painting is usually done by painting on the body, usually covering the whole body completely with water-soluble makeup or paints. Widely known types of body art are body painting, tattoos, shaping, scarification, branding and body piercing.
In some cases, tattoos were used to mark how many people a warrior has killed in battle. People in ethnic groups also used tattooing extensively as a form of ornamentation. In this case, body art can be compared to graffiti on the wall it declares what the person wearing the art believes.
Body art can also be used to declare personal beliefs and political stand. Tattooing and branding are some of the most common rites of passage for inmates who wish to be part of certain groups. These reasons can be cultural, political, or spiritual.īody art is extremely common in jails. However, there are other much more complex reasons for the proliferation and practice of body art.
In this sense, body art is worn the way diamond necklaces are - it is meant to adorn and enhance the wearer's beauty. Some ladies have a sunflower tattooed on their backs so that they can wear backless dresses that will reveal their flawless skin adorned by the tattooed flower. Just as paintings hanging on walls make a room more beautiful, body art can enhance a person's good physical attributes. To some people, however, the body is another piece of canvas through which they could express themselves, their beliefs and their traditions.
The human body is the tool through which somebody experiences life and his surroundings as well as interacts and communicates with others.
