Quick: what is the hottest trend in extreme swimsuits nowadays? Is it the mesh micro bikini? or the micro bikini see thru? Is it the mesh micro mini swimsuit? As undeniably hot as those two trends are–and they certainly are hot!–they will have to take a back seat to the most outrageous, and frankly, almost unbelievable trend in extreme beach fashion: paint on swimsuits!
Yes, you heard it right. Instead of bothering with pesky bits of cloth that tend to stick to the skin and cause chafing in some pretty sensitive areas, a few brave souls have taken it upon themselves to catch some rays with nothing more than a few dabs of paint on their bodies. It is a trend that is almost too outrageous to believe for some, but you had better believe that it is here and it is now!
Paint On Swimsuits – Disadvantages
Of course there are a few disadvantages to wearing paint on swimsuits, not the least of which is its unsuitability for swimming. While you can get into all sorts of interesting situations while wearing a painted on bathing suit, one thing you cannot get into is water! Aside from that however, there are numerous other things that you can do in a painted on bikini, such as ham it up for photo shoots, hit the beaches of a more liberal resort, or simply take a few photographs for your own personal enjoyment.
One thing that you will have to realize is that painted on swimsuits actually go back quite a ways, and they have their roots in body art more than in fashion. Keep in mind that most practitioners of body art–and this goes for artists as well as swimsuit models–view the activity as a legitimate art form in its own right. A lot of hard work and effort goes into putting together an impressive paint on swimsuit design, and anyone who is involved in the craft will definitely need to have a lot of patience and dedication.

Paint On Swimsuits – Indistinguishable From Real Swimsuits
If you haven’t actually seen paint on swimsuits firsthand before, you will likely be pleasantly surprised upon first glance. In some cases, the paint on swimsuits are so exquisitely rendered and includes so much meticulous detail that they are practically indistinguishable from real swimsuits. It has to be seen to be believed, and you’re likely to walk away from your first paint on swimsuit sighting a fan for life. One thing is for sure, few people who have seen paint on swimsuits up close and have recognized them for what they are ever forget about them!
Even if you feel that you don’t quite have the confidence to wear paint on swimsuits in public just yet, that will not take away from your appreciation of them. Who knows, with a bit of hard work–okay lots of it!–and sweat in the gym, you just may find yourself becoming tempted to give paint on swimsuits a try sooner or later!
