Full body glitter tatt, technically...

Very inventive! Great tips, thanks!

I just had my arm pits 'sugared'...hope your friend's butt didn't hurt as much as that!

Beautiful Shannon! How well does the latex hold? Will it split? I may need some for a glitter body paint thing & I'm checking out my options.

Great job Shannon!

Split? No, not if you have many coats. As we had fabric under it at key locations there wasn't any lifting that caused any issues. We started application to the bra at 8 a.m. and Amy probably was getting it off herself around 8:30 p.m.

I did some touch up around the side edges of the bra cups between shows - more latex and glittler, as due to movement they were pulling away a bit (no danger of structural failure, just cosmetic repairs).

The latex that was in contact with her skin on her midrift actually started releasing from her skin due to her sweating under it... it looked EXACTLY like fabric, moving and creasing with her movements... people did not beleive it was painted on due to that. The reason it worked was the bra and thong being the structural foundations that prevented any peeling or lifting off.

If doing something full-body that you want to hold I recommend using something as an edging... gauze bandages, ribbons, etc. They add strength to the edges and seams.
