Body Art

Body art is one of the forms of art, which is made on the human body. The meaning of this art can be revealed through pose, gestures and painting different symbols on your body. The most common forms of body art are:

• tattoos 
• body piercing
• body painting

Body art is a way of performing, in which artists use their own body to make their particular statements.

Lately body has become a subject of much broader discussions and treatments that cannot be reduced to the body art in its common sense.

Tattoos

A few words about tattoo and its history

A tattoo is a permanent marking made by inserting ink into the layers of skin to change the pigment for decorative aims or other reasons. Tattoos on a human body are a type of decorative body modification, while tattoos on animals are most commonly used for identification or branding.

Tattooing has been practiced worldwide. Tattoo appeared in ancient cultures, where people traditionally wore facial tattoos. Tattooing was widespread among Polynesian people and among certain tribal groups in the Philippines, Africa, America and Europe. Despite some taboos surrounding tattooing, the art continues to be popular in many parts of the world.

Different reasons for tattooing 

People have also been tattooed for various reasons. Tattoos can mean status and rank, symbols of religious and spiritual devotion, decorations for bravery and pledges of love, punishment and talismans. The symbolism and impact of tattoos vary in different places and cultures.

Today, people choose to be tattooed for cosmetic, sentimental reasons, and to symbolize their belonging to or identification with particular groups, including criminal gangs, but also a particular ethnic group or law-abiding subculture.

Cosmetics 

Tattoo can be used as a form of cosmetics. This tattooing includes permanent makeup, and hiding or neutralizing skin defects. Permanent makeup are tattoos that enhance eyebrows, lips, eyes usually with natural colors as the designs are intended to resemble makeup.

Prevalence 

Tattoos have experienced a growth in popularity in many parts of the world, particularly in North and South America, Japan, and Europe, because of the advertising and the high level of artists with tattoos. And also during the first decade of the 21st century, the presence of tattoos became evident within pop culture. Scientists have found that 50% of the young population of the world has a tattoo.

Health risks 

Because it requires breaking the skin barrier, tattooing may carry health risks, including infection and allergic reactions. In order to reduce such risks a professional should work with single-use items and sterilize their equipment after each use. But do remember, that nobody can give you 100% of a guarantee.

Temporary tattoos 

Temporary tattoos are popular with models and children as they insert no ink into the layers of skin, but produce a similar appearance with the use on henna, that can last anywhere from a few days to several weeks. It isn’t dangerous and you have an opportunity to change tattoo whenever you want, unlike lifelong tattoos.

Body Piercing

Body piercing is the cutting a part of the human body, creating an opening in which jewelry may be worn. Body piercing is a form of body modification. The cultural norms reflected in body piercing are various. They may include religion, spirituality, fashion or subcultural identification.

History of body piercing 

Evidence suggests that body piercing (including ear piercing) has been practiced by people all over the world from ancient times; even mummified bodies with piercings have been discovered. Nose piercing has been common in India since the sixteenth century. Ear piercing, of either one or both ears, has long been practiced by men in many non-Western cultures. Other forms of body piercing have also existed for as long as ear piercing.

Ear piercing 

Ear piercing has existed since ancient times. However, in North America, Europe, and Australia, ear piercing was relatively rare from the 1920s until the 1960s. At that time, it regained popularity among women. It was gradually adopted by men in the hippie, punk and gangster subcultures. Today, single and multiple piercing of either or both ears is common among Western women and men.

Body piercing 

In 1973 Doug Malloy and Fakir Musafar together developed the basic techniques and equipment of modern body piercing. Malloy introduced the use of hypodermic needle; Ward developed the fixed bead ring. Ward began using his home as a private piercing studio in 1975. After some years of working, Ward opened the first body piercing studio as a commercial storefront operation in West Hollywood in 1978.

The display of body piercing by celebrities like Madonna and Axl Rose helped to grow the market for these studios' products and services. By 1997 body piercing had become mainstream in body art.

Health risks 

Body piercing is an invasive procedure and is not without risks. A new piercing will be sore, tender or red for several days up to three weeks. Complete healing normally takes several weeks or more. During this period, care must be taken to avoid infection.

Body Painting

A few words about body painting and its history

Let’s say a few words about body painting in general and about its history. Body painting is a form of body art, considered to be one of the most ancient forms of art. Unlike tattoo and other forms of body art, body painting is temporary, painted into the human skin, and lasts for only several hours.

Body painting appeared in ancient cultures, mainly on the territory of Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific islands and parts of Africa.

Actors and clowns around the world have painted their faces - and sometimes bodies - for centuries, and continue to do so today.

Finally, in 2006 the first gallery of body painting was opened in New Orleans.

Nevertheless today there is a constant debate about the legality of body painting as an art form.

Body painting festivals 

Let’s move to body painting festivals. Today body painting is huge in both amateur and professional areas. Body painting festivals happen all over the world and bring together professional body painters as well as keen amateurs. Let’s leave body painting festivals and discuss the next category in which body painting is presented- it is:

Body painting in the commercial arena 

Many artists work professionally as body painters all over the world. Their work is seen regularly in television commercials. In the same time body painters also work frequently in the film arena. Still advertising also used body painting. That brings us to the next category – face painting

Face painting 

Face painting is the application of cosmetic to a person's face.

However, from ancient times, it has been used for hunting, religious reasons, and military reasons (such as camouflage and to indicate membership in a military unit). Moreover, in 1960s during the hippie movement it was common for young women to decorate their cheeks with flowers or peace symbols at anti-war demonstrations.

There are many kinds of face painting, including:

• Designs that include the emblems of favorite sports teams, cartoon characters 
• Costuming designs which transform the wearer into someone/something completely different.

Popular face painting designs include:

• Tiger - This design, in most cases, consists of a body of orange and yellow paint, with black stripes painted on.
• Butterfly - A female design. Consisting of the body of the butterfly being painted on the nose and the wings added across the cheeks.
• Cat - It could be a plain black tabby cat or a wild leopard. Either way, it usually consists of a neutral body of paint with bushy eyebrows and a muzzle.

It is common to find if someone is dressed in an animal costume.

By the way, face painting is also used in military.

Use in military

It is common in militaries all over the world for to paint their faces in natural colors such as green, tan, and loam for camouflage purposes.

Finally, let’s move to the last part of our presentation -

Hand art 

Hand art is the application of make-up or paint to a hand to make it appear like an animal or other object.

Conclusion

In conclusion, I would like to say that body art is not only a form of art, but also people do piercing and tattoo in order to drаw people’s attention to themselves, to reveal their inner world and to display their individuality. Body art is popular with different layers of society and the aim also differs. Nevertheless, the medal has two sides and to every plus there is a minus. And some of these “canvases” look disgusting, it does exist, and we have to admit it, that it isn’t a novelty that appeared only yesterday. But we shouldn’t forget that INTELEGENCE STANDS OUT.
