Body art

Body art is when you decorate your body with marks, paint, or other accessories. This can be done in a variety of ways. For example, you can use henna to make patterns on your skin, get tattoos with a needle, or use temporary jewelry made from feathers, beads, and other items. People might use body art to express themselves and decorate their body with things that make them feel good, or to tell a story about their life and experiences.
