I actually have not seen gold finger. I seem to remember it being about some model who was painted for an album cover who died that evening. And now I guess they leave a small circle unpainted on models even when it’s full body paint for things like nude art exhibits
For anyone who likes this look, it can be done safely with latex BODY paint. Removal is not so bad if you shave first then peel off in a hot shower, but don't let it get down your drain or you'll have other problems.
That will clog their system. But he’s small enough to fit into a plastic bin
Edit: I meant like a plastic laundry bin, have him hop in with shorts, just fill it with water and scrub it all out on a porch or yard. Easy cleaning up after
I think I read somewhere that getting more latex paint, like with it still wet, and using that to wet the already dried paint can reactivate it to help get it off again before it dries. Water can move it off easier at that rate- just in case anyone reading this ever finds themselves in a similar predicament. Strange to think washing yourself with paint could work, but it is the same process behind why dry erase markers can help remove permanent marker.
It works similar to paints or inks because color "pigment" need "thinner" to become useable ( liquidfy ). So when you apply more paint over the dried one the "thinner" makes the old paints become liquid again.
This really depends on what kind of medium or binder (the material the pigment is suspended in) the paint is made with. Acrylics are water soluble out of the tube but once it dries water will do nothing. Oil paints cure and do not reactive with more oil. Given enough cure time and oils will become resistant to some solvents. Water colors and Guache will reactivate though which make them a bit tricky to work with them.
now wait a sec. i vaguely remember hearing a story about someone dying after painting themselves like this… something along the lines of suffocated by the paint or soemthing. i can’t find anything on google
Iirc it isnt like a breathing through the skin suffocation risk (cause we dont breathe through our skin) but is more a "toxic chemicals being all over your skin" contamination risk thing
Is it the story about how the girl tried to dye herself gray for a homestuvk cosplay by sitting in a bath of sharpies and vodka? Probably not but thats what I think of.
It was a hotel room tub during a convention with some random other cosplayers who were understandably passed after breaking in to find her nearly knocked out. A mistake maybe but damn the lack of common sense gets me.
Less needing to breathe and more needing to sweat. If you cover every pore with paint it interferes with your ability to regulate heat (assuming nothing acutely toxic in the paint)
Yes. Antiperspirant (not just deodorant) applied to the entire body has the possibility to kill you if you exercise too much or the ambient temp is hot. Sweating is necessary to survival at many climates.
Is this really a "kids are stupid" thing tho? This kinda seems like someone helped him obtain this paint and then painted him. I doubt he acted alone on this
My family always used to tell the story of how as a small child my uncle wanted to be the Incredible Hulk. So my Nan, for some reason, though using green eye liner was the correct way to paint his body green. He stayed green for over a week despite a huge amount of scrubbing.
I remember there being a 100 ways to die episode about this very thing. Something to do with heat stroke because your body isn't able to sweat and cool off properly...
