Jaf aspires to be body artist

Josh Byrd, Ad Manager

How old are you?

17

What grade are you in?

11th Grade

What got you interested in body art?

When I was little I would make my own halloween costumes and lately I have been watching movies like Guardians of the Galaxy, and they would have awesome paint jobs on their face.

Where did you learn these skills?

I’ve looked up how to do a latex cutting…it’s just very interesting. I have looked up videos on Youtube to see how to do some things like burn and bite marks.

Do you want to make a future career out of body art?

Yeah, I feel like it would really be great to go to college for body art. I would enjoy having my job be making actors into something else.

What is your favorite design you have done?

I did a zombie face on my little sister, it was half of her face ripped out and blood everywhere. It was amazing.

How many total body designs have you done?

I have done seven different ones.

How you ever considered making money off your talent?

I feel like that would be nice, but I would do it without money because it is something I like.
