While it may seem like a new fad to see people walking around with different types of body art covering their bodies, there is nothing new about body art. Cultures around the world have practiced different types of body art since the beginning of time.

Pick Your Favorite

If you are looking for a more permanent and personal form of self-expression than off-the-rack clothing, radical hair styles, or psychedelic interior design, then you may be ready for body art such as:

• Branding
• Tattoos
• Elective amputation
• Tongue forking
• Scarification
• Implants

Even if the word "permanent" isn't in your vocabulary, there are types of body art that may appeal to your need to create a outward vision of what you feel inside or to use your body as a canvas to tell your personal story of survival, love, and self-discovery. Options such as body paints, Temporary Tattoos, and temporary body jewelry could be the answers you seek.
