Yakuza bodypaint - closeupby *yayacosplay

Traditional Art / Body Art / Cosmetic Application / Face & Body Paint

*********** Yaya on Facebook [link] ***********

Close up of the dragon, painted by Nick Wolfe. The kanji in the golden sphere is "dragon" of course.
I was recently painted up by Master Body Painter Nick Wolfe [link] We've been friends for years but never had the chance to collaborate before now. Nick suggested something Asian inspired and I blurted out "Yakuza tattoo!" and the idea for this theme was born!

Nick did the painting in 4 and a half hours, using Diamond FX paint.
For those who don't take the time to read my Profile info, yes I am the model in these images.
I also bought traditional Japanese hair pins, and the over kimono was made by me, originally for my XXXHolic cosplay. I love being able to re-use costume parts haha. The full gallery for this shoot is here on my website: [link]

Very beautiful and well executed traditional japanese dragon tattoo, especially being in full body Yakuza style. Love the color pallet, and the dragon kanji inside of the golden orb over your breast a very bold choice. You are an absolutely gorgeous model and i love this collection.
