When you think of face and body paint, you probably picture a carnival painter smearing orange paint on your face and calling you a tiger. In most situations, that may be true, but body paints might be considerably more artistic than that. Some of the 3D body paint pieces below will cause you to do a double or triple take!

A Melting Lady
There’s a vast body painting competition where people compete to develop the most amazing tricks. Here’s a competitor who wasn’t happy with just putting a flower in a container. So she went with a melting flower in a pot to make her optical illusion even more disorienting.

She chose a “melting” flower for her tattoo, which seems distinct and well-executed. The artwork does not need much detail to create a melting effect, but you can tell that the artist put everything into this piece. We wonder how far the artist got in the body painting competition that year.
