Trend Hunter has showcased the art of body paint on many occasions but the ancient art is so vibrant, so beautiful and so deliciously controversial, that many of us can’t seem to get enough of admiring the nude or semi-nude bodies transformed into [living works of art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-flow).

I know nothing about body paint, but I can imagine that it takes a lot of skill and dedication on the part of the artisans to master such a delicate art form. I can also imagine that working with naked bodies must be a tad challenging too.
