- Exactly What It Says on the Tin. People for whom their body is their canvas... literally. Older Than Feudalism as there's evidence for body painting in ancient Roman historical documentation. The complexity of designs can range from a single color all over, through designs and patterns, pictures and artwork to even paint so detailed and accurate that the person looks like they're wearing clothes. Most commonly seen painted on attractive women for added Fan Service, or on fanatical sports fans, especially when weather in appropriate to be wearing only paint, to show their devotion to their team.
- The Race used body painting to denote rank and position in their hierarchy. The higher the individual in society, the more complex the body painting. Body paints are the proper attire for the Race; given that the Race do not wear clothing due to living to hotter environments on their home planet and colonies. The Emperors of the Race wore exclusive body paints and distinguishable from their subjects. The Race strictly forbade actors playing the Emperor to put on the appropriate body paint because it would be seen as blasphemy.

| - Exactly What It Says on the Tin. People for whom their body is their canvas... literally. Older Than Feudalism as there's evidence for body painting in ancient Roman historical documentation. The complexity of designs can range from a single color all over, through designs and patterns, pictures and artwork to even paint so detailed and accurate that the person looks like they're wearing clothes. Most commonly seen painted on attractive women for added Fan Service, or on fanatical sports fans, especially when weather in appropriate to be wearing only paint, to show their devotion to their team. Contrast Painted-On Pants, where the clothes are just so tight they look painted on, and Form-Fitting Wardrobe, which is the next step up. Examples of painted clothes:
- The Race used body painting to denote rank and position in their hierarchy. The higher the individual in society, the more complex the body painting. Body paints are the proper attire for the Race; given that the Race do not wear clothing due to living to hotter environments on their home planet and colonies. The Emperors of the Race wore exclusive body paints and distinguishable from their subjects. The Race strictly forbade actors playing the Emperor to put on the appropriate body paint because it would be seen as blasphemy. Race expatriates, such as Ristin and Ullhass, who relocated to the United States, painted themselves the colors of the American flag. Straha, a shiplord, didn't find this very amusing as he believed that the new body paint destroyed "all order and discipline". Eventually, he reluctantly agreed to the new body paints. By the 1960s, many young humans also used body painting as part of Race Mimicking, which the hierarchical Race didn't appreciate.
