Ever see people having their body full of art? This art is called the body art. People paint their

bodies to portray their feelings and thoughts; some even try to represent creativity. There are

different categories under body art. These categories include painting, piercing, scarring, tattooing

and shaping. All these represent different artistic creativity on the body. In some cultures body art

is a ritual and in some cultures people try to portray themselves as unique with the help of body

art. Some types of body arts can be really bizarre and getting them on the body may inflict pain.

These include scarring, piercing and tattooing. But many people are willing to go through the pain

to get the art on their body.



Painting is a simple technique in which special paint is used to color the body. Drawings of many

things like butterflies, lizards and other things can be found on people's bodies. The interesting

thing is that these paintings portray the creativity and thoughts of people. People put paint on their

body when they are cheering for their teams. Also in some cultures painting the face is a ritual like

the kadakali makeup is a type of art. Piercing is also considered a type of body art. Piercing is

done by puncturing the part of human body and wearing jewelry. Although this process is painful

but many people opt for this kind of body art. Also piercing is done in many cultures as part of

ritual especially in India.



Another form of art on body is scarring which is also a painful process. It is rarely found and is

considered as a ritual. The basic process involves scratching, etching or cutting designs, words

and pictures as a permanent body modification. The more common type of art on body is

tattooing. Many people have tattoo on their bodies. There are two kinds of tattoos which include

the permanent and temporary tattooing. The process of tattooing involves the insertion of ink into

the dermis of the skin. There are special equipments used for this purpose and it is also painful. All

these kinds of art represent some thought. As it is said "Art is never meaningless".
