Can Drawing on People be a Career?

Because how cool would it be to get payed to doodle cool things on people.
And before you say:
"Durrr veronica why dont you become a tattoo artist?"
Im afraid of needles. I cant imagine stabbing people with needles or being stabbed with needles. Also, the people who work there are COATED in tattoos. I'd look so out of place. Like Kat Von D without tattoos. Just a little weird.

WEIRD.

Although I'm not a fan of permanent ink, I have taken a kind liking to Henna or Mehndi [as Abdul likes to correct me] Henna is a natural, herb based paint that dyes the skin for up to 2-3 weeks at a time. It's pretty amazing stuff. I used it last summer before camp and Ive learned a couple tricks on how to maintain the design longer.

No matter how much I adore Henna, I rarely can get the kits and when I do they are very tiny. So I've taken a liking to these lovely Sepia Micron Pens for drawing similar reddish-brownish-orange colours on people and myself.

In fact, here is a small collection of doodles I did just in 1 class period of Photo!
