She is absolutely charmed by the beauty and shape of human body, realized by how it is resonances to paint on the body more than on something flat. Her body art is used is for traditional tribal design or diamond tattoo and she designs costumes for a famous Japanese singer and a wrestler of pro-wrestling.

The event gave us the opportunity to bring a taste of Body art to Bristol and we must thank the Lanes venue and the Basshoneys and other volunteers for modelling, and also a thank you to San Francisco based illustrator Mark Bode (son of the legendary cartoonist Vaughn Bode) who penned some characters on some of the willing models…
