LAVA DEMON Body Painting & FIRE EATING -artist's perspective

Hello, art-lovers!

#FIREEATING has always been something I wanted to master, but I was just as afraid as any to get that close and personal with an element that can BURN YOU. I knew I had to conquer this fear and empower myself to do something I really wanted to do though, so I took a class and started to practice without fire. I started touching the flame with my fingers and doing fuel transfers across my arm, also known as "fleshing."

After a while of practicing fleshing, I finally felt only somewhat comfortable trying to EAT THE FIRE. I set up in my back yard on a day with low wind, fire extinguisher, fire blanket, and a tray of ice cubes at my side and dipped my little baby fire eating torches into the white gas. I took a huge breath in as I lit the torch up and then breathed in just a little more until I could literally not take in any more breath, and then I went for it. I tilted my face up and brought the torch down onto my tongue. At that point, there was no going back, so I brought the fire into my mouth AND...

It safely went out just like it is supposed to. What an empowering feeling! My respect of the fire allowed me to extinguish the flame in my own mouth.

If you follow me at all, you know I am obsessed with body painting (or if you are new - hi, I'm Kacie, your resident #bodypaint nerd!). So, I decided to combine a body painting transformation with my fire eating skills to make a #demon #fire-eating art video. I used prosthetic #horns and ears to look extra evil and added an element of #lava into the body paint as well to really look fiery. My video editing skills are still growing, but I am happy with the results.
