Every year, on February 1st, the world celebrates International Face and Body Art Day. It is believed that face and body artist Katie Miyaki established International Face and Body Art Day in 2012 to honour face and body painting, tattoos, piercings, performance art, and scarification. It grew as a grassroots movement within the face and body art community. Artists and enthusiasts around the world came together to celebrate the day and showcase their craft and promote the appreciation of this unique form of artistic expression.
