Your Story, Painted On You
Every life is a tapestry of experiences—moments of joy, challenges overcome, relationships that shaped us, and dreams that drive us forward. The My Story body painting session is a deeply personal artistic experience that translates your unique narrative into a one-of-a-kind visual artwork painted directly onto your body.
How It Works
The Consultation Before your session, we’ll have a thoughtful conversation about your life story. What moments define you? What symbols represent your journey? What colors speak to your experiences? This becomes the foundation for your custom design.
The Design Our Master Painter will create a custom design that incorporates:
- Significant life events and milestones
- Personal symbols, dreams, or aspirations
- Cultural or spiritual elements meaningful to you
- Colors that reflect your personality and journey
- Visual metaphors that tell your unique story
The Session Over 3-4 hours, you’ll watch your story unfold across your skin. The process itself becomes part of the experience—a meditative, transformative journey where each brushstroke adds another layer to your personal narrative.

Session length varies depending on the complexity of the design. A simple design may take 1-2 hours, while full-body artwork can take 4-6 hours. We'll discuss timing when you book.

Our paints wash off easily with soap and water in the shower. Some colors may require a bit of scrubbing. Rubbing alcohol or baby wipes can help with stubborn areas.
