Body adornment has always included body painting, tattooing, and other kinds of body art, this has been the case over the ages; but in recent times, body art has become more varied and endlessly creative. It now includes variations such as, Face Painting & Body Art, Gestational Painting (or Pregnant Belly Art), and Temporary Tattoos: Glitter, Henna & Body Illustration. It is now so popular that it is common practice for a body artist or a face painter to be invited to a social gathering like a party or a wedding, corporate events and promotions, so that the guests can take home a unique memento to remember the party by.

The beauty of dark art is that it makes you sink into deeper imagination of objects associated with darkness. When I see a dark picture or a mysterious painting, my mind wanders to the scary moments from my childhood and I get goosebumps just to think about it.
Dark images, paintings and pictures are created by human imagination of the dark side. Pictures depicting blood, murder, killing, drugs, and rape show the dark side of human nature. It shows the extent of evil that a human mind can think and a human body can perform. And it makes us relate to human nature more closely.
