Architecture

This category is for decorative body modifications of all kinds, such as tattooing, body piercing, body painting, traditional Indian mehndi (painted henna designs on the hands and feet) and decorative scarification and branding. Some sites may also discuss other temporary forms of body decoration such as extreme hair colours and irregular suntans. Bodyart covers a span from pure decoration to a deeply religious ritual rite of passage, from the modern fashion statement to a spiritual return to the thought patterns of our more primitive ancestors.

Site submission should be made here if your site is backed by a brick and mortar establishment, located in the United Kingdom, that offers a variety of services such as; tattooing, piercing, bodypainting, scarification, branding, and mehndi.
