The very first body art show in Johnson City was a grand success, pulling in a huge crowd and showing off some great talent!


We started early....

...and some fall makeup trends. Lots of fun with Amy Lynn of WJHL on Daytime Tri-cities.  Check out our segment, then join the facebook group for Smoke and Mirrors, we'll see you there!

Rachel graciously agreed to being painted at an early hour. She had to go home and shower all the art off before work. Thanks for your help girl!
