I would prefer that one... Anyway, body-art is not under mi likings (does
that word exist?)
About the atention-driving... well... I kinda disagree on that one. I mean,
I consider body-art as any other art. People may like it or not, people may
think an specific drawing/painting is wonderfull, or disgusting, but the
real feeling of it, the real intention resides on the artist or performer...
(Artist would be the one who paints the body, performer would be the one who
wears it).
In certain aspects, everything one person does is related to that person's
self-steem, and every act has some degree of atention-drawing purpose... Art
is just one of those activities...
