Last minute submission, not taken with this challenge in mind. Eva Hrönn did the makeup/bodypaint, it´s not an actual tattoo. She did an awesome job, I really like the outcome, we wanted it to be a crossover between tribal and henna.
Wanted an almost silhouette (but it´s not so those who call this a silhouette should really check out their screens, there is detail in all dark areas of this shot) so lighting was 4 lights, two blasting on the white backround and then two striplight softboxes, one on either side of the model.
Never thought I´d submit a nude to a basic editing challenge but the model was fine with it so why not? As it´s basic editing, it only got raw processing treatment and a little levels to totally burn out the backround.

Would like to see more of the subject indicated by the title. Lovely form gets a 10 but flawed intent gets a 6 waiting for more detail of the markings.
