Body Art: Revamped!

If you have not already noticed, Body Art is undergoing some changes. Things have new names. Categories have been added to better reflect the artistic community. A series of News Articles will highlight each new Category, including examples – so keep an eye out!

Some things will stay very much the same. Body Art is a home for works of art created on a human canvas. Photo editing and digital makeup are not Body Art.

Self harm is not permitted.
