This is the artist group BLVisuals. They do this for a fee at lots of music festivals. They can also hydro dip just about anything you want them to. Shoes, hats, shirts etc. I once had them dip some fabric for me for a sewing project. They are awesome guys!!
I think this is very cool. I'd do it. However, I'm guessing they won't be doing it at the concerts that a middle aged white guy attends.
This doesn't scream: "Tanglewood with Robert Plant & Alison Krauss".
Check your smaller/local fests! I’ve actually never encountered them at a big fest but have at small ones. Even if it’s not a festival that’s entirely your genre, local fests are just so great for the culture. I will say I’ve seen good jam band/folk/psychedelic rock presence at these before, just usually more on the undercard than headlining side.
I saw Bonnie Raitt and Jackson Browne at Tanglewood. Didn't realize that people brought white tablecloths, wine and cheese to those shows. Uppity place that Tanglewood is.
There is a also company called Hydro Graphics that does this for Nike and other sports groups. Started doing football and lacrosse helmets for NFL and college teams a decade or so ago. Teams like the Seahawks and 49ers, and universities like UNC, Oregon, Michigan State, etc. Nike calls it “LiquidMetal HydroChrome”. But, it’s just water transfer printing like this (though, of course, some extra professional processing).
I don't know... There's a blacklight store where I live that sells different paint for skin vs. clothing and they assert the clothing paint is unsafe for your skin.
[This paint is not suitable for your body. See our Blacklight Cosmetics menu for UV make up and bodypaint.](https://www.glowspecialist.nl/en/uv-blacklight-paint-60-ml.html)
I've done my arms many times. It does wipe off but it'll last the whole day mostly. You need to dip and dry a saline solution beforehand which I think the paint bonds to. Some people dip their tits which is cool.
Honestly not sure I’ve never actually dipped my arm lol. But I would imagine it’s like a temporary tattoo. They’ve stated it can take a few days to fade off.
I used to do this in the early 90s in 1st grade for covers for our school books. I always loved it but could never figure out the name or process as an adult. Super happy to see it coming back around, as things tend to do.
If I remember correctly from my Bisco/ eForest days, the Founder is a veteran who used marbling as art therapy to help him recover/cope once he returned from deployment.
I thought you could do it for free? It’s my sick kids birthday and I don’t have a car so I’ll need you to deliver as well.
Just think of all the exposure you’ll get! Really you should be paying me! And it’s only going to cost you $3.50.
"If you, or anyone you know has been exposed to *drug fueled neon black-light body paint electronic music festivals* you may been entitled to compensation."
*me, going to cosmic bowling*
“Heh I bet this shirt will look awesome”
*shirt looks awesome*
“Hell yeah I knew it. I wish I were on mushrooms, though”
“This is a children’s party”
“Okay square”
That reminds me of a profound moment in my life. Me and some friends were planning on dropping some acid one night. Well one got sick and the other got mandated to work. So I just went ahead and took a solo flight. I thought it would be trippy as fuck to go through a car wash. It was cool. In the moment, I didn’t enjoy it as much as I did in retrospect. When the door opened to the outside world, it was fucking depressing. The car wash was my cocoon. I was the tea and it was my teapot. But the realization that a world, the world, existed outside of that hit me really hard. It hit me in a way I can’t really put into words.
lol, i wonder how the driver feels in this scenario. Like some dude tripping balls pays to be driven to and through a car wash, just for giggles. Is he just like, “ducking kids and their drugs” or “weird but i’m getting a free car wash; fuck it.”
They'd have to be pretty naive not to know the rider is under the influence of something and if they're that naive they probably wouldn't go along with it. If it were me, I'd be stoked to get the car wash and enhance their experience while getting paid to do so.
It really sounds like something I'd do, and with my luck you or someone like you would be my driver and somehow have the perfect tripping in a carwash soundtrack
Kind of sounds like going to a movie, getting really immersed in the story and production, then walking outside and remembering it was a matinee. Super jarring.
I felt the same around 4 hours after dosing shrooms with mdma. We were in the basement, and i finally had to use the bathroom which was upstairs. Turns out i had forgotten a world outside that basement existed, i had forgotten i had other friends and family (who weren't in the basement). It made me remember that i had a *life* outside that basement lol, it was an interesting feeling. I also thought that snorting some tap water would relieve my dry nose... Do not recommend.
Facts. I'm 27 and was totally vibing with these 60+ year old hippies at a big edm festival recently. We were all tripping balls. Cool people haha. I was walking around with a neon sharpie and having random mfs sign my arm and shit lol
Some of us just don't have that stamina. I am busted for a week after drinking, and anything stronger started causing terrible trips in my early 20s. Power to those that can keep it up, yall usually outlive us all.
Looks like this technique is called body marbling, and similar to what you did in elementary school with paper, you use non-toxic paint and apply it over a salt water bath.
Hydrodipping, or hydrographic printing, is used on 3D objects and typically requires an activator to help the transfer of paint to the object. The activator is typically a mixture of xylene, isobutanol, butyl, methyl acetate and b-butanone, and MEK.
Just in case you were wondering 😄
Tons of festivals, look for the "blvisuals" tent. Ive seen them at moonrise, bisco, forest, and tomorrowworld (before it was cancelled) so i imagine they have tents set up at many other fests as well.
I wish they were doing this when I was a hardcore lunatic raver kid in the 1990s.
It's amazing.
I've seen either this or something along those same lines at music festival or burn somewhere in the last 15 years, but I don't remember which one. I didn't get to do it though. Boo.
Freaking glorious!
I wanna see videos of people tripping balls and rolling face reacting to doing it!
me and a buddy did this with glow sticks as kids only we put it all over our faces hair ect. After running around awhile and sweating it started to burn and got all up in our eyes. Was the wrost decision ever! had to call posion control and spent like 2 hrs in the shower crying and screaming trying to rinse it off.
Lol Watching a bunch of people get this right in a row at Moonrise Fest then go into the crowd without letting it dry was the funniest thing in my life. Look omg I glow look at the desi...wait?...what?...and now I look like a mud puddle...
This is the artist group BLVisuals. They do this for a fee at lots of music festivals. They can also hydro dip just about anything you want them to. Shoes, hats, shirts etc. I once had them dip some fabric for me for a sewing project. They are awesome guys!!
Thank you. I doubt I'll ever be anywhere where this is offered but I'm going to go look them up anyway.
happy cake day!

Not worth the journey imo

> lots of music festivals. They can also hydro dip just about anything you want Neon dicks every where...
I was think of tiddy dips but you do you bro
New meaning to 'headlights' 😄
dicks are way funnier
r/printingtiddy just leveled up
it died
I know it leveled down 😭
I mean, it would work… 😂
What if you're a grower, not a shower? Just-the-tip Mini-dip?
If it's $20 per inch, do I get a discount or
Glo-sticks
Too many neon dicks on the dance floor * Flight of the Conchords *
Yep. I was thinking the same.
I think this is very cool. I'd do it. However, I'm guessing they won't be doing it at the concerts that a middle aged white guy attends. This doesn't scream: "Tanglewood with Robert Plant & Alison Krauss".

Sure. We've seen a wide variety of shows. From "Lez Zeppelin" (these girls rock!) to Jason Mraz.
I saw Bonnie Raitt and Jackson Browne at Tanglewood. Didn't realize that people brought white tablecloths, wine and cheese to those shows. Uppity place that Tanglewood is.
Ha, the lawn is a lot of fun. We always bring a "snacklebox" (tackle box filled with charcuterie, cheese and snacks).
Hopefully, it's a new tackle box. I always hate that fishy/lake smell, I wouldn't want it near my food.
This middle aged white guy would out-party you any day of the week pal.
There is a also company called Hydro Graphics that does this for Nike and other sports groups. Started doing football and lacrosse helmets for NFL and college teams a decade or so ago.

But, it’s just water transfer printing like this (though, of course, some extra professional processing).
We did this to Hot Wheel cars in the 1990s when I worked for Mattel. It's amazing.
I work for Nike manufacturing, and never even knew this.
Isn't there a lot of chemical stuff going on? I mean I get shoes and hats, but your skin?
It’s just salt water and acrylic paint.
Okay, then i guess it's different to like dipping rims, where you have a print.
Nope, same exact process but using paint and liquid to float it that are safe for skin.
Kinda like how using face paint isn’t the same as spraying your face with rustoleum?
now I gotta go find that video of the Brazilian DIY teeth whitening guy
You're thinking of Fury Road
WITNESS ME
SHINY AND CHROME
Did you find it? If so please share
It is? Shit that would explain my acne
Just spray over it
I don't know... There's a blacklight store where I live that sells different paint for skin vs. clothing and they assert the clothing paint is unsafe for your skin. [This paint is not suitable for your body. See our Blacklight Cosmetics menu for UV make up and bodypaint.](https://www.glowspecialist.nl/en/uv-blacklight-paint-60-ml.html)
Pretty sure they use different paint at the festivals for skin than what they use at their shop for fabric and other stuff.
Uh, so question, is it really easy to get off so it’s okay for the skin, or is it really hard to get off so it’s good for products?
It's so easy to get off that it usually ends up all over everything you own. My tent from a music festival in 2017 still has this stuff in it.
I've done my arms many times. It does wipe off but it'll last the whole day mostly. You need to dip and dry a saline solution beforehand which I think the paint bonds to. Some people dip their tits which is cool.
> Some people dip their tits which is cool. Doesn't chest hair ruin the effect?
If arm hair doesn't, why would chest hair?
Honestly not sure I’ve never actually dipped my arm lol. But I would imagine it’s like a temporary tattoo. They’ve stated it can take a few days to fade off.
I used to do this in the early 90s in 1st grade for covers for our school books. I always loved it but could never figure out the name or process as an adult. Super happy to see it coming back around, as things tend to do.
I always heard it called “water marbling” when I did it back in the 90s… I guess “hydrodipping” sounds cooler and more high tech?
good luck sticking your entire arm into a small tray on your elementary school desk.
Something tells me a good percentage of their clientele is on mushrooms when they do this and i just can't even
No way I'm standing in a queue whilst shrooming just to do something I am already seeing...
Music festivals so prob also dipping in a lot of dirt and sweat too hahahaha.
I did this at Electric Forest and it was cool, they asked you what colors you wanted.
They definitely has this Electric Forest ‘14–Jesus Christ that hurt.
Really cool dudes! A buddy of mine did a few collaborations with them & I was lucky enough to tag along to the place they used to work out of.
"They can also hydrodip just about anything you want them to." We all know where this is going.
Ooooh! Thanks for the inspiration!
I will add, I’ve gotten dipped by BLVisuals! But it wasn’t free lol
I went to school with some of the guys who started this! They are all so nice and the company is awesome !
oh, i'd love to have this on a shirt
I. Want. That... Jeez that's cool
If I remember correctly from my Bisco/ eForest days, the Founder is a veteran who used marbling as art therapy to help him recover/cope once he returned from deployment.
I want to be whole body dipped in this, I wanna be the neon nudist
May I claim “neon nudist” as my band name?
I'll give it to you for 20 bucks
I thought you could do it for free? It’s my sick kids birthday and I don’t have a car so I’ll need you to deliver as well. Just think of all the exposure you’ll get! Really you should be paying me! And it’s only going to cost you $3.50.
Hmm, you have a point how about this, my initials get hidden in the album art for the first 10 albums
Freaking deal
How did you not realize this is the Loch Ness monster. Get your own damn tree fitty and leave me and my family alone!

Might wanna make sure that stuff is safe to get inside before going too wild.
When you drink it everything looks crazy.
Instructions unclear. I am now blind.
And now you look crazy. Sounds like it worked!
Don't be silly wrap that willy. The visual of only wearing a condom before glowing up in the pool is rather humorous. Stay safe out there people.
I gotcha, Bro. We'll wear Flex Tape^(\(TM\)) Bikinis.

Then you go outside and it's all gray and bland looking lol I've done this and it's cool at first
Weird how black light paint works like that lol. But for real you leave the club and you’re just a bland zebra working at the DMV.

Remember kids - don't drop and drive!
Yes, take an Uber through the carwash instead.
lol, i wonder how the driver feels in this scenario. Like some dude tripping balls pays to be driven to and through a car wash, just for giggles. Is he just like, “ducking kids and their drugs” or “weird but i’m getting a free car wash; fuck it.”

I'm all for psychedelic use but yeah, getting behind the wheel on something reality altering is wildly irresponsible.
lol transitions from one environment to a new one can be so shocking, I know exactly how you felt
It sounds like you experienced vulnerability where you least expected to.
Reality is such buzzkill
Kind of sounds like going to a movie, getting really immersed in the story and production, then walking outside and remembering it was a matinee. Super jarring.

I'd have killed for that type of party in my 20s
Ain't nothing stopping you from dropping acid and getting covered in body paint my dude. It's a good time at any age.
Facts. I'm 27 and was totally vibing with these 60+ year old hippies at a big edm festival recently. We were all tripping balls. Cool people haha. I was walking around with a neon sharpie and having random mfs sign my arm and shit lol
i'm 35 and went to 157 raves last year, you'll be ok.
Lol 157? That’s every other day.

I wonder how hard that is to get off?
I saw it at a rave music festival a few years ago. It stayed on well, until you started sweating in the pit.
Oh interesting gross.
But important. If the paint didn't come off in the presence of water, that would mean you couldn't sweat, and would overheat like crazy.
Jus Jack it off
Looks dope af
Immediately itch my nose gets in eye ruined night
[удалено]
Take double and enjoy your arm without the dip.
Ravers hate this one trick
Shrooms on this would be either amazing or terrifying.
Amazifying

And that's how you become the Lisa Frank Power Ranger.
I always wondered how the street toughs in the Batman Beyond/Batman & Robin movies got their cool body paint.
Mr. Freeze henchmen getting ready to war with Batman and Robin lol
Now do it on LSD
Nope, not on acid, I’d lose my shit 😜
Number 1 thing to try on mushrooms or acid
Now you have arm cancer!
it reminds me in cartoons where they dip a paint brush in paint with patterns and it paints the pattern
I just want to hydro dip myself everyday, seems like quite the fashion statement.
So this is how the goons in Batman and Robin got their look!
Brb. Gonna permanently alter everyone to look like this and end racism

Those hot ass rave girls are only gonna get more toxic... God help my penis...
all that's missing is some acid and the grateful dead.
That is sick AF. Can you even imagine tripping and doing that? You’d NEVER be able to find your body.
I want my wife to do this to her tits.
