Body art is more than just tattoos.
Whenever I thought of body art, I thought of tattoos.
I always associate art with paintings, pictures, or some other medium that gets put on paper or cardboard.
I was at a body art show, and I had my entire idea of body art changed. There were people with the most amazing tattoos I had ever seen. They were showing people with piercings that were so unique and fascinating that I could take my eyes off them. Some people had their entire bodies painted with regular body paint. I barely noticed that the people were naked, unless it was a man, and they had tights on. One woman looked like she had jeans and a t-shirt on. Another woman looked like they covered her in flowers of every kind. I was so interested in the body art display that I didn’t realize how much time had passed. My friend came over and told me it was time to go. That’s when I noticed she had a design on her face and down her hands that was beautiful. It was so delicate and intricate that I almost cried from the beauty of it. I asked her what her parents were going to say when they saw she had the tattoo on her body. She told me it was henna and it would fade in a couple of weeks. She just wanted to be a part of the body art display and she let them put the henna on her. I wished I had found her sooner. I would have loved to have the henna on my arms and face.
