Well if you have some painting background that will help you a lot. The better you can paint the better you can body paint. Its a little different but most artist can make the adjustment, painting is basically all the same, its just getting use to the different mediums and painting surfaces.





Skill wise you dont have to be that good, you just have to have an eye for design of what would look good painted on a body, or the overall effect of the paint job. But the better skills you have the more ideas you can better execute.





If you never painted before just get some paints and paper and start painting to get the hang of it, and pretend the paper is a persons belly or something.
