I am loving the images of the ‘Star Wars’ body-painted Stormtrooper, but I’m actually surprised that there aren’t a lot more images of body art like this out there. People, please, get cracking!
I also love the Jabba the Hut body paint, which inspired me to write this article in the first place. And then I tried--and failed--to find someone who had their face painted like Darth Vader. HUMPH.
Never mind, nearly-naked body art Stormtroopers should be enough to cheer anyone up! If you’re reading at work, be warned: Due to the nature of body art, there are brief moments of mild nudity in the video.
