Body Paint

Wearable art. Erika Bauer Thornton transforms the human form into a living canvas — bold, intricate, and impossible to look away from.
The Art of Body Paint
Where the Human Form Becomes the Canvas
Body painting is one of the most intimate and visually striking art forms there is. Every curve, every surface, every inch of the design is created directly on the person — no canvas, no frame, just art and the human body.
Erika has painted bodies for photoshoots, events, performances, festivals, and private sessions. Her work ranges from intricate florals and fantasy designs to bold graphic statements and realistic illusions.
Pricing starts at $125/hour. Most designs are completed in 1–2 hours, though more complex full-body work takes longer. Contact us for an exact quote based on your design.

What's Included
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of paint do you use?
Only professional-grade, body-safe paints. Nothing goes on skin that isn't specifically formulated and tested for body application.
How long does body paint last?
Typically several hours on the skin, though sweating, rubbing, and movement will affect longevity. It washes off easily with soap and water.
Can I use body paint for a photoshoot?
Absolutely — photoshoots are one of the most popular uses. We can coordinate timing to maximize how the paint looks on camera.
