4th of July Face Painting at Whole Foods in Bedford MA
I am pleased to say that I will be painting faces this 4th of July at the Whole Foods in Bedford, MA from 11am - 1pm.
Whole Food’s 4th of July Block Party weekend will include not only face painting for the kids 
but also live grilling demos from the meat and seafood departments as well as store wide sampling. One lucky customer will be chosen to win a new gas grill!
If you’re local, stop down with the kids and get them painted up with some patriotic face art before you go out and enjoy your 4th of July festivities. If I don’t see you there, I hope you have a happy and safe 4th of July.

Face Painting is a Great Outdoor Activity for Your Children’s Birthday Party
Are you planning to have an outdoor children’s birthday party and you are looking for activities? Have you considered face painting?
Face painting can be a great addition to any outdoor event but especially an outdoor children’s birthday party.
In Massachusetts the weather is warming up nicely so people are taking their parties outdoors. Kids LOVE getting their faces painted so it just makes sense that a great outdoor activity for your children’s birthday party is face painting.
Depending on the amount of kids you are planning on having, you could book a face painter for an hour or two and turn a great party into a truly memorable one for all kids in attendance.
If you are in the Massachusetts or Southern New Hampshire area and would like to book me as a face painter for your outdoor children’s party, please fill out the contact form to the right and I will respond to you as soon as humanly possible
Adding an Outdoor Canopy to Your Face Painting Supplies
If you are a Massachusetts face painter, warm weather is quickly coming upon us so it is time to start thinking about what face painting supplies you will need in order to transition your indoor face painting set up… outdoors.
My suggestion? If you are going to invest some money into your outdoor face painting set up, you should do so by purchasing a canopy. The addition of a canopy to your available face painting supplies will give you the freedom to set up wherever you need to and still be protected from the heat of the sun.
Not only will a canopy come in handy when you are participating in outdoor festivals, it’s also a great option to be able to offer to customers who are hiring you for outdoor events. Sitting in the hot sun for an hour or so is doable. Being in the sun for hours upon end in 90 degree weather… not so much.
If you are interested in booking Body Art by Erin for your next outdoor event, please contact me using the contact form to the right of this page.
A Day in the Life of a Billerica Face Painter… It’s Good to Be Me
One of the challenges in life is finding a job doing something that you love to do. That’s why this Billerica face painter is so fortunate to be doing what I do… making people happy with art.
A normal weekday for me consists of practicing my craft. I get to come up with ideas by looking at things in everyday life. I then try to incorporate those ideas into designs that can be painted onto the face and body. I love what I do.
Then on the weekends I usually take all of my planning and practicing and put it to very good use. I schedule between one and two events per weekend day.
I travel, with all of my supplies, to wherever the event may be. After setting up I am ready to paint. I love being able to give children (and brave adults) a chance to express themselves through bodyart. My favorite part? I absolutely love to see the look on a kid’s face when they look at themselves in the mirror. Their smile says it all!
St. Patrick’s Day Themed Face Painting
St. Patrick’s Day is a very popular day for face painting. Being a Massachusetts face painter can be pretty lucrative on St. Patrick’s Day. Reason being? Everyone likes to show off their Irish pride on St. Patrick’s day and what better way to do that than to get yourself painted up with St. Patrick’s day themed body art.
Local establishments are always looking for ways to make their St. Patrick’s day celebration a little different from their competitors. I think that hiring a body artist to apply Irish themed art to their patrons is an excellent way for local establishments to stand out from the rest.
I’ve been working on my Irish themed face painting and body painting designs for a while now to ensure that I have a great selection of designs that I can do quickly and perfectly. They will range from tiny shamrock eye accents to elaborate full face designs. Some people like just a little something while others like to go all out on St. Patrick’s Day. I have something for everyone.
If your establishment is trying to find that special something for this year’s St. Patrick’s Day celebration you should seriously consider adding a face painter to your festivities. If you are in the Massachusetts area and would like further information about my St. Patrick’s day packages please fill out my contact form on this site and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
It’s never too early to start planning for St. Patrick’s Day!
More Than Just a Massachusetts Children’s Face Painter
It’s funny when I mention to people that I am a Massachusetts face painter, they automatically assume that I am a Massachusetts Children’s face painter. While they are correct that I work a lot of children’s birthday parties, I am much more than just a Massachusetts children’s face painter.
I love to paint people of all ages. Face painting is definitely not just for children. Teens and adults have a great time with face painting too… if they give it a try.
There are definitely differences between children’s face painting designs and adult face painting designs. With adults, a face painter can take their time and apply some really detailed and far out designs that kids just aren’t going to sit still for.
I used an eye design as an example of something that is more appropriate for adults. Picture this type of design on both eyes to make sort of a masquerade ball type look. Read more

Pregnant belly painting has been popular in other parts of the world but it seems that it never really caught on in the United States. I am pleased to say that at least in Massachusetts pregnant belly painting is gaining popularity.
How do I know? Well along with being a Massachusetts face painter, I am also a Massachusetts pregnant belly painter. Read more
Face Painting During Cold and Flu Season
Since hygiene should be a face painter’s top priority, face painting during the cold and flu season can be kind of tricky.
There are two issues that a Massachusetts face painter will run into during the cold and flu season: 1) turning away sick kids and 2) knowing when you are too sick to face paint. Read more
Working On Your Holiday Face Painting Designs
With Fall in full gear, I’ve now begun working on some of my holiday face painting designs. Since most of these designs are only applied around their corresponding holiday, I think it’s a good idea to start practicing.
The Santa Clause face painting design that I’m showing in the picture took me a while to apply. Sure, I was applying it on myself which always slows me down but I really need to practice it in order to get to an application speed that will work even when there is a line.
That’s why I think working on your holiday face painting designs ahead of time is important. That way when the actual holiday season is upon us, you’ll be up to speed with your holiday face painting designs.
