Halloween and Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos) are creepin’ closer and closer. But Dia de los Muertos skulls are totally timeless. Check out the easy to follow video tutorial.

2. Animal Prints

If your legs are feeling a bit bare, adorn them with a colorful, animal-print masterpiece. Wear it with a skirt to really show off the artwork.

3. Henna

Nothing looks cooler than a crazy-cool henna hand piece. No accessories are needed. Just let the henna shine on its own.

If you’re feeling a little funky, opt for a colorful piece of art on your hands instead. It’s subtle, but statement making.

All-white body paint designs also create a really beautiful look. From your arms to your legs, it’ll really make the intricate artwork pop.

Body art doesn’t just have to be one thing. Get creative, color outside the lines, and decorate your body with whatever designs are calling you. The more eclectic the mix, the better.
