The human body is a remrkable thing. It's a very strong weapon, a comfort to others, your sweater, your skin, your casing. :) And now, it's your canvas. As controversial as body art was once upon a time, it's becoming more used by many artists all over the world. Unlike tattooing, it's not permament, lasting anywhere form a few days to a few weeks, and while there is still a hefty debate going on as to whether or not this is really "art", this art form may be traced in ancient ceremonial practices among indigenous people in most tribalist cultures of Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific Islands, and parts of Africa.
