Body painting☺

Body painting is a form of body art. Unlike tattoo and other forms of body art, body painting is temporary, painted onto the human skin, and lasts for only several hours, or at most a couple of weeks. Body painting that is limited to the face is know as face painting.

Body painting is also referred to as "temporary tattoo"; large scale of full-body painting is more commonly referred to as body painting, while smaller or more detailed work is generally referred to as temporary tattoos.

It is common in militaries all over the world for soldiers in combat scenarios to paint their faces and other exposed body parts (hands, for example) in natural colors such as green, tan, and loam for camouflage purposes. In various South American militaries, it is a tradition to use face paint on parade in respect to the indigenous tribes.
