Absolutely. We have a professional team of artists capable of managing crowds at major events like city-wide holiday celebrations. We have a proven track record of success working with local organizations providing safe and efficient entertainment for thousands of attendees.
We can do pretty much anything. We can match a theme for your party, bring a set of our most requested designs or bring a small menu of simple, quick designs for high traffic events. Pinterest is full of ideas, feel free to send a picture with your request and we can let you know for sure!
We specialize in "Speed Painting" where we utilize a curated menu of high-impact, professional designs engineered for speed. This allows us to maintain a fast-moving line without sacrificing the "wow" factor.
Whatever you need, we are able to handle it :)
You can reach us via the Contact tab or we are always available via email at [email protected], text or by calling at (614) 721-4232
I love what I do. This isn't just a job to me. This is a passion that I have had since I was in my teens. Painting has gotten me thru some tough times and being able to paint to make people smile... that is just THE best feeling. I also make sure that the artists I contract with love it, too.
I think that is the most important ;) but here are a few other reasons you might consider...
You get what you pay for. I know it's cliché, but it's true...
There are 3 things to ask yourself when booking any service.
1. Do you want it done FAST?
2. Do you want it done PRETTY?
3. Do you want it done CHEAP?
You get to choose 2, because NO ONE can give you all 3 and if they say they can... well, they are lying to you.
Between myself and the team that I work with we have over 40 years experience in the industry.
We are PROFESSIONALS. This is not a part-time gig or side hustle for me or most of the Artists we contract to work for us. We have spent thousands of dollars (yes, thousands!) on professional set ups, taken classes and practiced this art so we can bring you and your guests an awesome experience.
We also pay for and are protected by Body Workers insurance, not all Face Painters do. Because as much as we don't like to thing about it, accidents can happen.
We take cleanliness very seriously. In the environment we work in, it is very important to be conscience of spreading germs. We use a 3 pot cleaning system for brushes, wipe hands with antibacterial wipes and use clean sponges, in between each guest. We also use a toxin free, pet and kid friendly, multi-surface cleaner, disinfectant, sanitizer called Force of Nature on my entire kit between each event and spray it down several times at high traffic events. Check out more information on it HERE... (I recommend it for your household cleaning needs as well ;)
For more details on and samples of our work please visit our Instagram or our Facebook page :)
As a rule of thumb you can usually estimate 65-75% of your guests will want to participate in Face Painting. So if you estimate 500 in attendance, please hire enough Artists to accommodate a paint que of 325-375 participates.
Our Corporate events are structured paint as many guests as possible with the least amount of artists, please contact us for more details. If your event is larger than what you can book through our online system, please complete the inquiry form on our Contact page, email us at [email protected] or call 614.721.4232, and we can figure it our together.
We prioritize safety by using high-quality, hypoallergenic products and maintaining strict hygiene standards. Our team is trained to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all guests and carry industry standard insurance from Body Works Insurance.
Safety is our top priority. We use only FDA-compliant, professional-grade cosmetic pigments that are hypoallergenic and specifically designed for use on skin. Our artists follow strict hygiene protocols, including using fresh water and sanitized tools for every guest, making us a trusted choice for parents and event organizers.
We use only cosmetic grade face paints and glitters. Although we can not guarantee that your child or event goers will not have an allergic reaction, it is rare. I purchase all my supplies from FacePaint.com, JestPaint.com and Art Factory. If you request, I can provide a list of products and you are welcome to visit their site for complete details about the ingredients they contain. In my opinion, the best way to avoid allergic reactions is to know what substances to look for and avoid.
