I wanted a beautiful memory of my baby belly. There's nothing more unique and special than getting a stunning painting on your belly created by this talented artist. She painted my belly with the theme of my choice, so beautiful, original and on top of that I got to laugh with Riina as much as I could. I recommend this to everyone! MAARET A-J

Belly painting is a calming experience and it gives you a moment to concentrate on only yourself and your baby. It’s a wonderful way to celebrate and capture this special time in your life.

Belly painting is perfect for you. The main focus is on your belly that is decorated with a beautiful painting. The painting suits your belly and even the stretch marks are covered. It’s designed according to your wishes, so the picture will be something you can’t wait to show people and frame for the nursery.

Belly Art A Moving Experience For Pregnant Moms

Belly painting is the most amazing & surprising present for a mother-to-be! It’s a fun way to show off your bump, and the painting is often loved so much that the tears of joy can’t be avoided. What would be a better gift for yourself or your friend?

Belly art is always designed for you. I can create the painting according to your wishes and ideas, or you can give me the artistic freedom to create something beautiful, adorable or cute to decorate your bump.

The finished artwork will be photographed and you will get the digital versions to yourself. Having the picture framed in the nursery is a nice memory of the beginning of a new life. Both parents can take part in the session and you can create a family portrait!

Body Painting For Pregnant Women

The paints I use for belly painting are non-toxic cosmetics and meant for skin, so they are safe for you and your baby.The suggested timing for belly painting is during the last 3 months of the pregnancy, depending on the size of your bump, and of course how you feel.

The best way to surprise the mum-to-be is to book her a belly painting session before the baby shower party. That way she gets to have some relaxing time, really concentrate on her baby’s reactions to the brush strokes and enjoy the peaceful energy that surrounds the moment. As a bonus she then gets to show off her beautiful bump to her friends! Then you can all focus on the party itself and there’s no waiting for the guests.

Belly painting is always designed to fit the parents’ wishes. So if the painting is a surprise , it’s best to try and fish some ideas from them in advance. Be a little sneaky and speak with their friends too, and you will get some information that will help designing the painting beforehand. Of course if you book some extra time then the painting can be fully designed on the spot too. Alternatively you can book the ‘SIMPLE’ package which guarantees a beautiful ornamental design in the colours of the mother’s choice!

Don’t worry if you can’t fit the painting session for the baby shower day or you can’t get any ideas for the painting. You can always just give a gift certificate! Then the mum can think about the theme and book the session with me to fit her calendar the best. I bet she will still share the pics with all of you so you get to see the result as well!

The colours really pop in the painting and in the photo I received afterwards. It was wonderful to watch Riina paint and how she treated me as an individual instead of doing her work like on an assebly line. She listened to me, laughed with me and was present in the moment. And even though I made her work a little challenging by laughing so hard my whole belly was shaking, she still managed to paint in amazing detail. I totally recommend this to anyone, who truly want beautiful and professional quality with genuine and friendly attitude! MARJUT H.

I asked body and face painter extraordinaire, Lenore Koppelman, aka The Cheeky Chipmunk, to share some belly painting tips for mamas who want to commemorate their pregnancies with a painting.

LENORE: Congratulations! You or somebody you know is going to have a baby! This is an exciting and blessed time, and while mommy-to-be may befeeling like a nauseated and exhausted whale (I know I did!), she is actually nothing short of a beautiful goddess. And her body is a miraculous work of ART. She should celebrate it with a beautiful belly painting photo shoot while she still can.

LENORE: I would ask the artist. Each artist has his or her own style, especially when the photos are involved. My own personal style as far as the photography goes is to have the mother wear all black. I love to put her in front of a black backdrop, so that her hands and belly are all you see. Other artists prefer it when their mommies show up in long flowing dresses, an open-front maternity gown, or when the client wears all white. Their brand might have its own look that it is known for, so when in doubt, ask!

That being said, if you have your heart set on a particular outfit for the shoot, and it’s not the artist’s usual pick, don’t be afraid to ask them if they can make it work for you. I have had clients come in with a special outfit that they are giddy to wear in their photos. They send me a picture of it ahead of time, and I can tell them if it will work well, or if it should be left home instead.

Amazing Pregnant Belly Artworks

WHAT NOT TO DO: The one thing expectant mamas should definitely NOT do is wear lotion. Many women slather cocoa butter or creams all over their bellies to prevent stretch marks. I certainly did! However, it does interfere with the quality of the body paint. It creates a surface so slick, that the makeup has nothing to adhere to, leaving it to inevitably slide right off. The best way to prepare the skin is for it to be clean from a shower, with no lotions, perfumes, body sprays, or anything else on it which could possibly compromise the paint job.

LENORE:Of course. But this is extremely rare, and out of over 100 bellies I have painted so far, has yet to happen to any of my clients. In fact, among the countless belly painters all over the world that I know and have personally met at various conventions and lectures, I have not yet heard of a single incident that any painter has been made aware of.

It’s not to say it can’t happen, but the chances are incredibly slim. This is because high-quality makeup is being used, and very safe sanitation practices are in effect. Nevertheless, do keep in mind, this IS makeup. Makeup can cause a reaction in anybody, on any part of the body. No matter how expensive it is, or how much care goes into it all. The same way that any consumer can be allergic to a certain brand of lipstick, or eye shadow, or rouge.

While many people refer to it as “face paint” or “body paint”, it’s actually makeup. Not “paint”, per se. And while that makes it infinitesimally safer than using actual “paint”, (which I would never advise), nothing is ever 100% guaranteed. But in all fairness, you are taking the same kind of risk that you take when you are pregnant and putting on lipstick every day. Or trying out a new body lotion. Or choosing to wear foundation… contour powders… mascara. So while, yes, technically a mother-to-be CAN have a sensitivity to body painting makeup, it’s honestly no more of a risk than if she is wearing makeup already.

LENORE: In most cases, removal is an absolute breeze. The body paint should come right off in the shower, easy as pie.

If you happen to see a bit of color residue tinting your skin a tad longer than you would like, (and this goes for kids who are face painted as well), your best option is to moisturize moisturize moisturize! The more moisturized your skin is after you clean it, the less amount of pigment will be able to remain. And remember, there is
