Whether it's your first Bonnaroo or you’re a music festival veteran, we welcome you to Inforoo.

Last year we saw countless green red and blue people wandering around, and this year I want to join them. Where/what got them that way and should I expect it to be back again this year or should I look into finding my own blue bodied experience to bring with me?
How many of you were painted last year and how was it throughout the weekend? Share pictures!
Yeah, I'm pretty sure they were close to the fountain right in the middle of everything. I didn't go for it last year but I might be getting into the paint this year lol.
I hear it took a long time for that stuff to come off. i don't want to explain to everyone I meet why I'm stained head to toe. Yellow and red would be the worst colors to have when they start to fade. One makes you look like you have liver trouble and the other, walking around all pinkish? Not this boy!

My friend and I spent a long time watching them paint people trying to figure out the system. It almost seemed like after you got painted you were supposed to paint the next person...I'm not sure why we thought that since it seems pretty unlikely...that would be so awkward, especially since a lot of the people getting painted were naked...
I WAS PAINTED...YAAAAYY!!!! My friend and myself painted me on sunday last year. Be wise though, #1 One walk through the mushroom and it's off...well except for your nails. I seemed to have a crazy time trying to get it off my nails. #2 I know we all usually wear nasty clothes to roo but if you plan on wearing anything while your painted make sure it's something that you don't care is dyed. My shirt was ruined. But it was much fun and no matter how many strange things you see at roo people tend to stare at you because you have body paint on.
I interviewed this guy at last year's Roo... He actually ended up being a member of this board. It was the first I had come across people painting themselves. I thought it was pretty crazy, and it def ruined their clothes...
My husband did minimal painting - not whole bod but some of the arms and stuff... Totally NOT easy to get off, especially in places like knuckles, knees and cuticles!

This guy was me. I've been quiet on the Bonnaroo boards for a while because I didn't get to go this year and I'm kinda sad about it...Oh well.
But to answer questions: The "paint", from my understanding, is just simple food coloring mixed with water. It washes off with persistence. For some people it seemed to come off more easily than for others. On my nails I did use polish remover for a few days afterward.
On clothes, the stains mostly washed off. I have two copies of the shirt I'm wearing, and I couldn't tell them apart once they'd been through the laundry. My fiance got painted too, but kept her swimsuit on the entire time, and I kept my shorts on (guess we're not quite the bravest lol. ). The stains lasted on her clothes, but the suit was red/black and the paint red, so you couldn't tell unless you were looking really, really close.
Getting painted was a ton of fun. It took us out of our element even more than usual at Roo. I say go for it as long as you're comfortable. The Bonnaroo vibe lets you do whatever the Hell you want, which is great. But remember cameras are everywhere. Then too, I recall a number of painted and/or undressed bodies that I have yet to see on the Internet.

I'll see if I have any pics I took from the body painting. I wouldn't feel right about posting any topless women but I should have some involving the rest (I know, I'm a wimp lol).
OK the deal here is, if you want women (and men, heh) you don't even know to freely let you rub your hands all over their bare bodies.. Just bring a couple of those plastic kiddie pools and some waterbased paint and set up shop in Centaroo.
That's all you have to do! You have to marvel at the genius behind this undertaking.
I'd never do it though because almost immediately you begin to sweat and it just looks a hot damn mess.
I have a few pictures... They just had a tent set up in Centeroo next to the bobbleheads and which stage. I didn't get painted, but had fun watching all those who were.
