A couple of weeks ago, on August 2nd, body paint experts Skin City (website | Facebook), located in Las Vegas, NV, were celebrating their one year anniversary of residency in the Las Vegas Art District. Part of their celebration included a live body paint demo. One of our tattoo submitters, Mae, who is also a professional model, knew one of the artists who works at Skin City (Steve Horlock), and had previously mentioned the desire to be painted up as Samus. Steve was inspired by the idea and totally went all out for the event. The studio painted her up fantastically, as well as making her an arm cannon and helmet. They even painted a Metroid prop and a Mother Brain background for the photoshoot. Really brilliant, beautifully amazing stuff here.

Tons more photos can be seen in these Facebook albums: "Making of" Set | "Completed" Set

Congratulations to everyone involved and to Mae for her bravery and incredible fandom to the Metroid series! How about doing a Zero Suit next? :D
