Yes, they are all art forms, they all leave impressions and memorable moments. Almost all of them even have various lessons and messages they all pass but then, the body art to me has a lot in it which includes expressions and performances sometimes even aside from the application of paints by the artists and yes, that's a lot done already.

I love controversies a lot but their so topics that I would rather not engage in because it's not worth it. Imagine saying Van Gogh is not as good or Leonardo Da Vinci is a better artist than Van because he paints realistically and Van doesn't. It's just so funny and annoying at the same time but that's what our society has designed to be our mental base and I get it but it's not an healthy way to see things.

Another topic again is saying that traditional artists are to be more respected than the graphic artists because we feel they do more artistic work. I sometimes feel that way too but it's not a good feeling to nurse.
