I'm new to body painting. I would like to receive suggestions about using different paints if I use airbrush for Body Painting. Places to buy online, trademarks paints, which are the cheapest, which place to buy in Europe, I don't want my models to get allergies or being sued. Could you please guide me?

Thanks in Advanced!!!!

In Europe - try the Grimeshop, I am sure the owner Richard can help you.

In the USA try The Painted Navel

My personal choices - many are good but I use
Mehron Liquid and the new Mehron LUX, Kryolan Airstream, Graftobian Aire FX and Trendy Tribals.

Thanks.

It's been a busy summer - thank the stars! I love to make the house payment.
Just in a two+ hours ago from 8 hours of tats in the VIP Lounge during Vans Warped Tour - my ears are ringing a bit!
In July made it to the World Body Painting Festival in Austria- no time to airbrush (came in 5th helping my friend in sponge and brush - took 19th in face painting) but man those airbrush artists there .........wow!

Due to rain the airbrush comp was postponed a day - so I was painting when they where laso painting. A few pics are on KD Cook's on line magazine www.lasvegasbodyart.com and some on a blog I have www.bodypaintinghowto.com
(the name is misleading it is really about body art around the world. I'll post a few more pics there early this week - so check there later.

That was fun! I always thought it was amazing the things they design to place on a living canvas! Very explosive when what you paint on is breathing! lol Always loved art walking around!
