2.0 out of 5 stars sparkle, but no depth..., August 12, 2003

This review is from: Body Art Chic: The First Step-By-Step Guide to Body Painting, Temporary Tattoos, Piercing, Hair Design, and Nail Art (Paperback)

The only reason to buy the book is the list of suppliers in the back. The only list I've found so far for paints which are safe for use on skin.

I found this book disapointing.
The photos are beautiful, but too much space is used on 'lick-and-stick' tatoos. One was more than enough.
If you can't figure out how to apply them from the instuctions on the card, you have a problem...

More images of body paint or henna would have been appropriate.

The book also promised tips on makeup and hair, I found the styles mundane and the instructions mediocre .

1.0 out of 5 stars Body Art for the Teenage Girl, January 7, 2002

This review is from: Body Art Chic: The First Step-By-Step Guide to Body Painting, Temporary Tattoos, Piercing, Hair Design, and Nail Art (Paperback)

If you are a teenage girl looking for a way to shock your parents, this book will definately assist you. Or, if you live in a trailer park, this is the book for you. Not a good book for a person who takes thier tattoos and peircings serious. The book was serious and trivial, but in all seriousness I am sure most high school girls would love it -- OK, at least the "bad" girls.
