Body Paint for pole
Does anyone know of a brand of body paint that would be safe for use all over when on the pole?

Any body paint will work. The issue is that you will not have grip where the paint is applied. I have friends who have been completely airbrushed for an event and I have a friend who has used acrylics to paint designs on herself.

The guy who paints Zoraya and the Zen Arts crew (Adam Tenenbaum) recommends Temptu Pro Dura paints. They are alcohol based and do not wash off when wet or sweaty. You have to use alcohol to clean them off. Adam Tenenbaum air brushes them on, but I think you can also brush it on, it would take a lot longer though. When Zoraya was here teaching a workshop I asked her about the body paints she wears when she does performances because I was super curious about it. She had done a performance the night before and still had designs painted on her legs and arms. She said they do not affect her grip, but I noticed there weren’t huge solid painted areas where she would need a lot of grip anyway, just designs that partially cover her skin.
Adam Tenenbaum actually sells his stencils on Etsy https://www.etsy.com/shop/OverlayAirStencils
And here’s the link to the paints: http://temptu.com/pro/shop/makeup/dura
There is at least one more brand similar to the one linked above that is alcohol based and supposedly very long lasting but I can’t remember the name of it.
