The Incredible Collection Of Amazing 3D Body Paint Will Stun You

What mostly comes to mind when someone mentions body paint is an artist slathering paint on your face and creating simple designs. But there could be more to body painting than meets the eye. Some 3D body paintings can make you forget what’s real and what’s not, and require skills that are quite complicated.

This picture of a melting lady is from a popular tournament where artists compete with the most peculiar illusions. Among these contestants was an artist who didn’t settle for the simplicity of a flower in a pot. She opted for a mind-bending artistic illusion that left spectators awestruck — a melting lady in a pot. 

Have you ever had those days where it seems like your head is about to burst open? Those headaches are a pain, but at least we know they won’t actually split open like in a horror movie. 

While many people spend years trying to be like everyone else, some people are happy to stand out from the crowd; this artist is one of those people. She celebrates her uniqueness instead of concealing it. 

We are completely dumbfounded by this image. It seems this artist’s head has been changed into an eating utensil. The lines of the fork appear to be in the middle of her face, but we can’t see any of her facial features, not even her eyes! 

It’s often said that books add balance to our lives and this couldn’t be more accurate.  If stacked with precision, they can create a stack that requires perfect balance to stay upright. 

This is undoubtedly one of the most unique illusions we’ve seen. The way the hand coils around her head to achieve a cartoonish effect is nothing short of magnificent. 

Some optical illusions need more than one person to pull off, and this design is one of them. Here, three women are joined to form a majestic tiger that gazes right into our souls, daring us to fight Rocky himself. Or, perhaps, does it want to sink its teeth into our faces? 

We said earlier that an image made us cringe. But that was nothing compared to this one. Where on earth is this woman’s face? It seems someone has landed a fierce punch and created a gaping hole in her head. 

It’s unfair how some artists seem to excel at everything. For instance, this woman transformed herself into a stunning giraffe with paint. As if that isn’t enough, she’s an Olympic-grade athlete! What captivates us the most is how her single left foot looks like two feet merged as one!

If we met this person at a Halloween party, we would be torn between staring at them for hours or running in the opposite direction. Something is unsettling about humongous eyeballs staring unblinkingly while your skin looks like Swiss cheese. And let’s not forget how this person’s neck is bent at weird angles. 

This is another mesmerizing 3D body paint illusion that uses multiple eyes. It appears that someone used the stretch tool to extend the model’s mouth to the rest of her cheek and photoshopped additional eyes into the side of her face. We know horror enthusiasts will love this painting, but it’s a little too unsettling for the rest of us. 

We all know that our DNA is the building block of every human. But this artist seems to be built with the literal building blocks that resemble the Jenga tower. What makes us uneasy is how she casually pulls a block off her neck like it’s nothing. 

Mazes are thrilling with unexpected twists and turns, but they are not as eerie as this. We don’t know the start or end point of this maze. We are sure if you tilt her head in one direction the glowing ball will move. But what’s the point? 

This painting takes the prize for being completely off-beat. Why did the artist take a ton of fish and paint them all over her face? Did she not think fish would emit a pungent odor when out of the freezer? 

This is another image that undoubtedly requires the help of a skilled painter and the agility of an Olympic athlete! This person was transformed into a parrot with a painting and perched on a lifeless stump, acting just like a parrot. It’s so masterfully painted that we can hardly notice that her feet make up the parrot’s hindquarters. 

Imagine how it must feel to pop a sour jawbreaker into your mouth. Your face and neck will begin to twist so much that it feels as if your head’s about to fall off. It’s either that or this woman just experienced something cringe that she wished she could just twist herself up like a pretzel and vanish from existence. 

A line in the first Men in Black film left a lasting impression on us as kids: “The universe is in Orion’s Belt.” The MIB took this to mean they should gaze up at the Orion constellation to glance at the universe. But the universe was much closer than we thought. It was hidden in a marble, dangling around Orion the Cat’s neck. 

Here’s a mind-bending image that will leave you scratching your head. We have a pretty clear idea of what people should look like, but when we see images like this, we get a bit confused. This woman has not one but four additional eyes, and they are on one row!

It’s not typical to imagine breaking someone’s back open because the spills of guts and gore can be repulsive. But it looks like our bodies have more aesthetic value than biologists suggest. 

If you are above 25 years old, you most likely think you could use a new pair of batteries often for a boost. It’s strange how naptime becomes more appealing as we grow older, considering that as kids, we disliked the idea of going to bed while the sun was still out. 

Do you recall the Jenga woman we mentioned earlier? This image is similar – it’s just that there are complete portions of blocks missing from her face. The artist’s ingenuity surely shines through as she left her right eye and masked the other in complete darkness. 

Sometimes, art teachers want students to cut magazine pictures into strips and glue them on a sheet of paper in an elementary class. The final result may look just like this woman’s face. 

Transforming one’s face may seem like an easy thing to do, but it isn’t usually the case. This is why we doff our hats to the artist who pulled this off. 

Imagine finding a magical lamp in the middle of a desert and asking it to grant you three wishes. If the possibilities are limitless, what would you wish for? We would probably wish for three million dollars, although we don’t know what we would do with it. The last two wishes would be to make more money. 

Kids are always fascinated by how chameleons can blend seamlessly into their surroundings. But a lizard can also do the same camouflaging trick. 

This makes us feel super uneasy. We’ve certainly come across images of people with tears and zippers on their bodies but not actual buttons. It makes us wonder what we’ll find if any buttons come undone. 

It’s frustrating to deal with a zipper malfunction because it’s daunting to repair, especially on a human body. This model has various layers to her back, with a first zipper that exposes a second layer of skin with another zipper. 

The sky is certainly the limit when it comes to body paints. Without boundaries, your creativity can run wild, allowing you to create a mermaid such as this one. But we must admit this is one of the most unsettling things we’ve seen. 

We clearly don’t give these models the recognition they deserve. Just look at how this artist skillfully turned her body into a seahorse. Do you also see how much she bent to form the seahorse belly shape? Incredible. 

The Jenga artist from before doesn’t compare to this model. It appears someone reconstructed her face into an abstract design, leaving her nose where her chest should be and her ear where her cheek should be located. The black outline is glaring against the city backdrop, but that is just the tiniest detail.
