It took a year to coordinate a time, but Brianna Aiken and I were finally able to do a #tapeBodyArt set with colours selected to match their jeep. As a bonus, found a nice location for off-road shoots.

Two images showing the front and back of a tape body art design featuring a mix of black acrylic tape and purple metallic tape. The left view is a front view of a woman with long blond hair leaning on the side of a jeep while standing, legs crossed at the knees, one hand on hip and the other resting on the jeep with their hand in their hair. The right image is a back view of the woman standing on a gravel road, hands in their hair, legs crossed at the knee.

Front and back views of a tape body-art design with NZ model Lucy Taylor (IG: @lucy.artmodel). I last tried doing this tape micro-bikini design about 10 years ago.

Two side-by-side images of a woman with long brown hair wearing a micro-bikini made from electrical tape. The left image is a from view with the woman posed against a tree trunk, arms crossed overhead and eyes closed, hear falling over one shoulder. The right is a back view with the woman kneeling in the water as they look back over their shoulder, eyes closed and head tilted slightly down with her hair falling down her back.

Model Ira Balan (IG: @ira_passion and @ira_passsion) wanted to try tape body art and I had a concept I wanted to try out. This is part of a new series I am working on this year.

Side-by-side images showing front and back views of a tape body art piece on a model wearing a nun's habit, and holding a fake cigarette in one hand and machine gun in the other. The design features a stylized cross on the front, a small cross at the back, and lines running from the waist, crossing between shoulder blades, and meeting just above the chest cross at the throat. The model is light with a cross-shaped source, forming a cross pattern on the back wall.

First shoot of the year was a tape body art piece concept piece that I had in my head. Model Mia (IG: @elle_her_07) was good enough to allow me to play with two versions of the concept, the pinup version being shown here.

I had promised Melysa Parent (IG: @melysa_asylem) a body art design and a year later we were able to do the shoot. We used the session to test a combination of fresnel and tiled coloured gels as a lighting setup.

Esthetician/Body Artist/Model Kari Duguay (IG: @ah.chooo) noticed that I had yellow "metallic" tape and requested that I do a design for her. This design took just under 2 hours, compared to the 20 minutes it takes for me to complete the acrylic (black tape) designs.

Tape body art with model Adge Mackenzie (IG: acrid_adge). I had only allotted 2 hours for this design, which gives an idea of how long it takes to apply metallics, and why I've mostly been doing acrylic designs. A full metallic design takes at least 4 hours to apply.

For our next workshop, models Diamond Lee (IG: @death_diamond_) and Kimi B (IG: @kimi.bee.model) will each model 2 different acrylic tape body art designs created by David MacKinnon (IG: @d.k.mackinnon). For each design, one photographer will photograph the creation process, while 3 photographers will photograph the final design.
