“This experience was by far out there/different but most enjoyable. I took my mom and sister and they were both very hesitant to say the least. Damaris and Tico were amazing and very inviting. This experience lets you express yourself in a safe place. It got everyone out of their comfort zones but at the same time bringing us closer together. Damaris and Tico were definitely vibing with our energy. They listened to our input and were eager to make our vision come to life. It’s time well spent. Worth your while!”

“I'm not sure what was in the air in this place but this was one of the most amazing experiences. I brought my partner here for his birthday while we were staying in the Ithaca area and to say the least we really enjoyed ourselves. It was a completely new experience and Myztico and Damarias made it super special. They are just two very down to earth people. We appreciated their passion for art, photography, and the things they're apart of/ interested in. I also really appreciated how accommodating they were. This was a very uplifting, captivating and psychedelic experience indeed. The photoshoot and art work really made me feel empowered within myself. I felt freer than I ever have and I just appreciate the space that Myztico and Damaris created to just be ourselves. We would definitely recommend it 👌🏾”

“I was absolutely blown away by this experience! It’s exceeded my expectations and is most definitely one of the best things I have ever done!! Damaris and Tico were both so incredibly welcoming, friendly, kind and have such a beautiful Aura around them. They made myself and my husband feel very comfortable and welcome. They are both so unbelievably talented and are amazing at what they do, both my husband and I were so pleased with our unique body art pieces. I love and appreciate the fact that we were not rushed through the experience and we actually ended up staying longer than the allotted time as both Tico and Damaris wanted to make sure our body art was perfect and that we were happy with the pictures taken. I could go on forever about how amazing this was but everything has already been said and highlighted in previous reviews! Don’t think about it, just book it, you won’t regret it!!! We can not wait to go back ❤️ Thank you Tico and Damaris, you were amazing!”

“This is one of those experiences you will never forget. We honestly had no idea what to expect, this being our first foray into an experience of this nature. The artists are passionate, warm, loving and quite frankly gifted masters at what they do. Since you are becoming a human canvas, you have to approach it with the right frame-of-mind which is that indeed you are a canvas — relax and let the artists explore, ideate and create. The experience has three stages — preparation, painting and presentation. Bring hydration (they will also offer it to you) as this is an ‘all-in’ project for 3-4 hours. But that’s how a masterpiece is created! During this journey we learned to trust them, listen to their guidance and go on the journey with them. In the end, this is a certain kind of spiritual experience too, so the key is to embrace it and enjoy. You will be richly rewarded for your openness to this amazing experience and these two incredible people

“This BlackLight Psychedelic BodyPainting Journey — with Myztico & Damaris — is undoubtedly one of the coolest things I’ve ever done in my 54 years of living a wonderful life. It is a mind-blowing adventure that is absolutely beyond compare: Positively different. Unique. Healing. Relaxing. Sensual. Soulful. Empowering. Gratifying. Inspiring. Humbling. Liberating. Expansive. Transcendent. Pleasantly memorable. What I thought was just another curiosity-driven solo adventure (for me) actually, and quite pleasantly, turned out to be a serendipitous, life-affirming, metaphysical celebration of Love & Life…. grounded upon the Spirituality of Sweet Surrender. I am indeed thankful to Tico & Damaris for granting my last-minute request: allowing a Friend to join me in my otherwise private session. In their capacity as seasoned master artists, Tico & Damaris are worthy of praise: down-to-earth, service-oriented, uncommonly intuitive, compassionately passionate, immensely talented, and unmistakably authentic. Their synergistic energy and high-vibrational frequency effortlessly made me yield to the moment, without the slightest semblance of doubt and/or hesitation. I may never ever be able to find a word that could come close enough to describing how subliminally transformative this off-the-chains experience has been for me! IF I were forced to wrap the experience up into one word, and one word only, THEN that one word could ONLY be GRATITUDE. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who has the curiosity, eagerness, open-mindedness to momentarily step beyond the confines of their comfort zones, and try something that is breathtaking, magical, and phenomenally phenomenal.”

“I went as a solo traveler and they went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and personalized the experience for me. Their paintings exceeded my expectations. From the moment I pulled up I just had a calm wave wash over me. This was incredible! If you're thinking about doing it, take the leap and do it! You won't regret it!”

“Incredible experience. I was nervous, but Tico and Demaris immediately put us at ease. We felt very safe and they were very conscious of our comfort and consent. The meditation was gorgeous, complete with scents and sounds and really transported us. The body painting was amazingly detailed, and we had a blast taking photos! Their artistry is truly awe inspiring and they put so much time and effort into the experience that it is a fantastic deal. I’d even do it again and bring more friends!”

“Oh my goodness, where do I even begin with Tico and Damaris' Airbnb Psychedelic Body Paint experience? It was truly one of the most incredible experiences we’ve had in a long time, and I can't recommend it enough to anyone looking for a unique, fun, and creative way to spend an evening. From the minute my girlfriend and I arrived, Tico and Damaris made us feel so comfortable and welcome. They are two of the friendliest and most genuine people we have ever met, and it was clear right away that they were passionate about what they do and genuinely excited to share their spirit and creativity with us. Speaking of their knowledge and creativity, WOW. Tico and Damaris are seriously talented artists, and their painting skills are truly out of this world. Tico draws his art from his own creative vision and has experience as a film maker, while Damaris is a professional nudest photographer, and together they make an unstoppable team. They took our bodies and transformed them into living works of art, using a variety of colors, textures, and patterns to create an otherworldly and truly psychedelic experience. But it wasn't just their skills that made this experience so amazing - it was their personalities, too. Tico and Damaris are such kind, interesting, and fun people to be around, and we had such a blast chatting with them and learning from them throughout the afternoon. They really went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and having a great time, and I left feeling so grateful for the whole experience. In summary, if you're looking for a totally unique and unforgettable experience, Tico and Damaris' Airbnb Psychedelic Body Paint experience is an absolute must-try. They are two of the kindest, most talented, and most interesting people you'll ever meet, and they will leave you with memories that will last a lifetime. Don't hesitate - book this experience right now”

“This experience is one of a kind, and I’m so thankful I booked this! I wanted to have a bonding experience with my husband and I honestly had ZERO expectations going in. If you’ve never worked with artists, this a fun and beautiful way to witness firsthand their creative process. Their home is a safe space and you become their canvas! I was blown away by how committed Myztico and his partner Damaris were to making the experience special for my husband and I by presenting our spiritual journey. They also presented the entire journey in Spanish and in English for us :) . We will remember this forever and are so thankful for creative folks who are brave enough willing to share something so personal and spiritual for others to experience! Quick side note the residence driveway is located just off a main road so we were going too fast and missed our chance to slow down so we had to make a U-turn: just keep an eye out as you’re approaching!”

Also, they went the extra mile to check in with us making sure we had a safe place to stay after we had issues with our reservation that night. Had a blast and made some new friends during the process.”

“Myztico and Damaris are seriously beautiful souls! From the moment we stepped in the door we were at peace! It’s hard to put this experience into words which is why you need to just book it, don’t hesitate! We booked this overnight and couldn’t stop thinking about it during the entire day! As soon as we got there we felt instantly at ease! When the experience was over and we were in the car, we could not stop laughing and reliving the entire night, we had an absolute blast!! Would highly recommend this to anyone!! This was without a doubt the highlight of our trip!”

They created a beautiful and special atmosphere with handmade art and cool lighting and made us feel very comfortable. The artists are both so creative and passionate; the work they did was so personalized and practiced. It was completely unlike anything else we have ever done before! We loved the photo shoot and the previews we got of the results made us so excited to get the finished products!!! Aow-aow-aowooooooo!!! 🌙 🌙 🌕”

Damaris and Tico were so positive and wonderful, hospitable so much so that I felt as though I was with family! The lovely aroma of sage and palo santo was perfect for relaxing and cleansing our mind body and spirit! We felt so alive and fun after we were painted and look so forward to having such a personal price of art to hang in our homes! This is so good, you must have the experience!! I’m so thankful we chose to do this!! Many blessings 👏👏👏👏👏”

“BOOK THIS EXPERIENCE! Don't wait! Just do it now! Tico & Damaris made me feel incredibly comfortable in their home. After introductions, I looked at the blacklight artwork with 3D glasses, them we did a guided meditation. My brain and body were so tingly and relaxed. I layed on a massage table as I was being turned into a work of art! I've never seen myself the way I saw myself that evening! WOW! Just amazing! The photo shoot was fun and the final photos and videos that were provided were just stunning! It's definitely a one of a kind experience that you don't want to miss!!!!!”

“This experience was so special and personally, really intense. My wife and I went for our anniversary and our hosts were kind, friendly, talented and made us feel very safe. They continually asked us if we needed anything, were comfortable, gave us a heads up when painting our faces and offered us a drink since the experience is 3.5 hours. On top of that, the meditation felt like I was in a whole other dimension with the amount of energy I was feeling. That isn’t to frighten anyone looking to have the experience, it was just how I felt moved and connected to the process. Myztico and Damaris shared sacred practice and we were grateful! We really enjoyed ourselves. The most difficult part for me was probably the photo shoot. Despite her being an absolutely incredible photographer and artist, I got so much out of the meditation and painting process that I wasn’t in the right space afterward to do the photoshoot. I did it but I could’ve just reveled in the artistry and relaxed headspace I was in rather than the posing and dancing for the shots. Overall though, it pushed me out of my comfort zone in a really good way and that’s what I wanted. I’m stoked to see the photos and have the memory! Everybody should do this!”

Everything Myztico offered, from his skilled storytelling to his original body painting, to the relaxing music and the amazing sage scent in his studio, went way beyond our initial expectations. If you are in ithaca and are eager to experience something unique , just do it!”
“Hello Myztico, thank you again for providing an amazing Bluelight body painting experience. Everything about it went over and beyond our expectations! Your soothing voice(s), the beautiful music, your passion and your professionalism turned a 3.5 session into one of the most engaging we had ever experienced. Good luck, health and peace to you both, Teresa and Scott”

“Sometimes our paths cross with others in the most beautiful of ways. Myztico and Damaris shared their wisdom, souls, and tools and took me on an unforgettable journey transcending time and space that allowed me to explore, create, and liberate my being/spirit. This experience gave me permission to surrender to the moment, knowing I was in a loving, safe, and nurturing space. What emerged was my most pure self, joyous and free, with a vision of harmony and purpose. The resulting art captured the truest expression of the feelings and meaning this journey had for me that I will cherish forever. What Myztico and Damaris have created and so willingly share is a powerful gift with a lasting impact of love,beauty, and meaning beyond what I could have imagined. I can’t recommend this experience enough!!”

“This experience was more than I can describe. It was sound defining for me. Tico and Damaris made the whole experience comfortable. They truly connected to the energy and used our bodies and energy as muse and canvas for their craft. The entire night was indescribable and I wish every person could experience this. I felt strong. I felt powerful. I felt understood. Damaris painted me to expose my soul. It was beautiful and empowering.”

The space tico and damaris created is so divine and powerful, filled with the most exquisite love, light and peace. We felt so comfortable during this experience and there was no judgement, all love. From the music, sounds, and personal insights, this experience was better than I could have ever imagined. Worth every penny and then some! We are blessed to have been apart of their life in Ithaca and get our body painted and then photographed. The two of them shine so bright together and made our experience as a couple just that much more powerful. If you’re hesitant to book it, JUST DO IT! It’ll be the best time of your life and you’ll have memories to last a lifetime (and photos for life!) thank you both SO MUCH!”

“This was truly the MOST UNIQUE & INCREDIBLE experience! 10/10 would recommend! I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect from this experience, but we arrived with a warm greeting from Damaris and Tico! They welcomed us with open arms and after our initial introduction they showed us their home and their incredible black light art work that was multidimensional! It was beautiful and trippy and energizing! We started the experience by laying on massage beds and listening to a meditation and then we had our entire bodies painted in black light paint with the most unique and intricate designs. The whole time i was laying there being painted, my eyes were closed and i was in and out of a deep relaxing state of mind. we then had a photo shoot! Damaris and Tico have such kind and beautiful energy that made me feel so comfortable! They are beautiful souls with an amazing passion to share their journey and their artwork directly onto your body! I can’t think of anything that will top this experience! Definitely going back!”

The experience they gave exceeded any expectation I could imagine. From the time we walked in to the time we left I felt so welcome. They anticipated and fixed everything we needed or were nervous about. There reviews are amazing but it is nothing compared to the actual experience they gave us.

“From the moment we found 1444 at the foot of their driveway, to the gold sparkled sidewalk and saging upon entrance, Tico and Damarius were full of love and welcomed us into their warm home. Their care, kindness, creativity, and intimate attention was constant from our meditation to our sweet goodbye. They thoroughly love to create art on our bodies and bond their guests every second! Chocolates and hydration were bonuses. If you're looking for a unique experience with two of the kindest people you've ever met, book this psychadleic trip with Tico and Damarius! Another bonus: sip on kava at The Sacred Root after your painting. Great vibes. Tico and Damarius's work was on exhibit while we visited, so we were live representations of their work. Worth every penny. Can't wait to come back for this again some day!”

if you decide to take this journey, you are in a treat. You might be a bit of cynic like me and while the idea seems fun, you are thinking that you might not be able to "let go". Meeting the hosts was like meeting a very friendly, happy couple and at first I'm suspicious because we are living in such an angry time; how can they actually be happy to work with 2 strangers? We met the hosts at I kept making jokes in my head as the guided meditation started. it was difficult to get board but my spouse went with it right away. As the meditation continued, I was able to let go enough to visualize what was being said although my analytical side still wanted to take over. The lighting is entrancing as the black light mixes with the other colors of smaller lights on the walls and ceiling backdoor of their darling, comfortable house. We were offered beverages and led into the cozy room where art work was hanging on the walls lit up by the black light. To add to it, you are given 3d type glasses to peer through while looking at the art. It's mesmerizing. We then undressed to our comfort level while Myztico

There is so much energy between them and you can’t help but absorb it. I felt very comfortable at all times. The body artwork was very bold and empowering. It felt as if I was being taken into a fantasy world a la The Avatar. I hope many more people will leave their inhibitions aside and explore this fairly unique medium with such talented artists. We are all human artwork, and Tico and Damaris have found a way to showcase our hidden colors.”

Both Mystico and Damaris created a very comfortable and fun environment for us. They were very outgoing and welcoming. This was something very different from what my husband is used to doing, but he said he felt comfortable the entire time and he had a blast. This experience made me feel more open spiritually and helped me to be more open to trying out additional psychedelic experiences. I recommend trying out this experience with Mystico and Damaris. They are both very talented and kind human beings who helped to make this experience worthwhile! 🙏🏽”

“What a delightful and unexpectedly powerful experience! We went as a group of 5 friends (2 couples +1) "just to have a fun adventure" together... But we got SO much more: My partner said, "I was jaw-droppingly surprised by the transformation! I did not recognize myself... or anyone of us, for that matter. And the experience of 'being the canvas' was surprisingly pleasant -- released energy in the body -- I could see its therapeutic value." For me, the inspired designs painted on our bodies brought out beautiful hidden aspects of each person. In the black light we saw ourselves and one another newly... Wondrous! Best of all, the experience of dancing together in various configurations -- and spontaneously breaking into improv singing! -- brought back forgotten playfulness and joy. Didn't realize how seriously I'd been taking life... And THEN we got stunning, artistic videos and photos capturing it all! These trippy visuals are lasting reminders of our shared adventure in altered consciousness. Damaris and Tico, we can't thank you enough for this magical experience! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤”

“My friend & I took my 2 children (ages 13 & 16) to meet with Shamans Myztico & Damaris. When we walked in, the music, the beautiful artwork on the walls, the candles and sage burning.. all of it brought us to a place of peace. My children were not scared or apprehensive at all because both Myztico & Damaris had such calm & delightful energy & were perfect hosts to us. Our body paint was MAGNIFICENTLY done & the 4 of us played & danced in the UV lit mirrors. None of us wanted to leave. When we finally said our goodbyes we left our session Inspired, Grounded, Happy… filled with Blissful & Gratitude & Love. Don’t miss this experience….! Namaste. Cynthia”

They spent a lot of time making sure we were comfortable and on the experience as a whole. I was impressed with their eye for setting up great images and can’t wait to see the shoot!”

You truly get to relax let go and drift into a whole different world. My best advice if you do this is, let them paint your skin, take your shirt off! It was a blast!!”

“A delightful evening and personalized to my interests and skill level! I did a canvas painting instead of body painting. Myztico took time to make me feel comfortable, get in a creative mode and gave very helpful tips and advice about the paint. He also painted alongside me as did his partner who added another level of fun and conversation to the evening. He let me pick the music and made suggestions based on the music I liked. It was a special and magical evening and I came away with a renewed spark of creativity! Thanks to both of you so much for such a fun and special night!!”

“Wow, I don’t even know where to begin. My night was magical, mystical, and wild. Myztico went out of his way to make this a special experience for me, and I am extremely grateful for that! If you’re like me and afraid of the photo shoot: you don’t need to be! I have no clue what I’m doing but they never made me feel like anything less than a Goddess. I drove over 6 hours to experience this and I wouldn’t change it for the world.”

“If you are looking for an out of the box fun experience in Ithaca you should partake in Myztico’s UV body painting experience. It’s eclectic, engaging and energizing. A must do in the finger lake region for the open minded. One love”

“Tico and Damaris create a comfortable environment filled with various sensory experiences. It’s a psychedelic party where Tico and Damaris take you to another part of yourself. They are very passionate about their art and work. It was a memorable experience. ¡Que viva el arte!”

“My boyfriend and I chose the UV body painting experience and it was definitely time well spent. Myztico and Damaris are such great artists and made us feel really comfortable! They were very professional but also warm, open, and fun. We loved hearing about the history of body painting and the spiritual aspects of the practice. It was such a meaningful evening and left us feeling even more connected to each other as a couple. Truly a unique experience guided by two beautiful souls!”

“This was a great and unique experience! Be sure to go with an open mind and open heart. Tico and Damaris welcomed us into their world of art and vision, as well as their home. They went above and beyond for my group. They even surprised me with a cake they knew we were celebrating a birthday milestone.”

“Had an incredible experience with Damaris and Tico (also got to see Damaris's art up at Ithaca's kava bar, The Sacred Root) with my bestie to celebrate a birthday. We were welcomed into their art space, covered in Tico's psychedelic art which becomes even more amazing with 3D glasses. After looking at the art and breaking the ice a bit, Tico welcomed us to lay down on massage tables with comfortable pillows and blankets. After an imaginative story-telling guided meditation that included nature sound effects from rhythm instruments by Damaris, they got started on the body painting. Both my friend and I wore sports bras while our arms and faces were painted in unique designs based on the conversations we were having. It was surprisingly relaxing and surreal at the same time. Music and conversation flowed naturally, and the time flew by. After the painting was done, they took a ton of pictures giving us direction the whole time. They showed us a few before we left, feeling like we'd just had a psychedelic experience. Around a day or so later, we received a WeTransfer link with a HUGE amount of pictures and videos, with effects added and many trippy versions of our painted selves. Would HIGHly recommend. Thanks guys, for an amazing night!”

There is a palpable positive and creative energy in Myztico's art space. Together with Damaris they provided a beautiful experience with easy transitions between the meditation, the painting, and the photoshoot

“This experience was great, Tico & Damaris made us feel very comfortable in their home studio and provided an amazing meditative journey for us. They were kind and warm, interesting people who shared their story and were genuinely interested in ours. Really good dynamic between the two and provided excellent direction and results. Definitely try this if you want a unique and calming evening. Thank you so much!”

I really had no idea what to expect from this experience of body painting with Myztico and neither did my fiancé Jonathan who I took as a Valentine’s Day surprise. It’s a bit hard to put into words how special this experience is! When we arrived Myztico warmly welcomed us and made sure we were comfortable in every sense of the word. He showed us some of his amazing artwork and told us a bit about his history as a black light/ body painter and asked us about ourselves. Because we went as a couple, we also had the pleasure of working with Myztico’s partner Damaris who is also a visual artist and reiki practitioner. Myztico took us through a guided meditation as we relaxed on side by side massage tables and then he painted Jon while Damaris painted me, although the entire process was a collaboration. After we were painted, they took a long photo shoot of us where they guided us through different poses and showed us how their filters worked to turn us into stunning art! Both Jon and I are somewhat reserved people and this experience allowed us to connect with ourselves, each other and Myztico and Damaris to really access a new level of consciousness , if only for a night. I’m so grateful to them for this experience ❤️🙏🏻

“This experience was truly something that opened new horizons to me and I discovered a new way of discovering myself. Myztico was really sweet both to me and my mom. It was amazing, I will for sure follow his works in the future. I encourage anyone who’s thinking about doing this experience to go for it, there won’t be any regret.”

“Such a unique and fantastically creative experience. Myztico led us through an amazing meditation and body painting session and shared some of his own life stories which were wonderful and exciting to hear about. The passion he has for his art is inspiring and we feel so grateful to have been able to take part in it!”

I planned this as a surprise for my boyfriends birthday! He had no idea what he was in for. Tico greeted us at the lobby of his apt and welcomed us to his apartment. It was byob so he immediately served us with the wine I brought! He let us get settled and then we did a meditation for a while! It was so so relaxing (I’m pretty sure my boyfriend actually fell asleep). Then we changed into our clothes (we both wore pants but boys no shirt, girls just wear a sport bra that will be painted on) and we lied down and he alternated painting us. It was so unique! We exchanged a lot of stories and good convo. Then we ended with a fun photoshoot in the black light with tico’s own beautiful paintings in the background. It was so so cool to see the finished product. We became art. He took a lot individual photos and couple photos of us. We left the apt fully painted (it had dried) and it all washed off very easily off clothes and skin. No reaction or anything. Def a unique date night experience if u wanna do something different!

This was a unique experience. I enjoyed the guided meditation and music playing. The body painting is not for the meek. It's up-close and personal and took hours. I felt safe with Myztico. I appreciated his kindness, creativity, and insights. I recommend this experience.

Myztico’s experience is truly magical. I felt connected to him instantly. He made me feel empowered to try something new. Not to mention the photos and everything turned out amazing. He was professional and kind. I hope to return and think it’s a once in a lifetime kind of experience. Thank you again, Myztico! Gratitude 🙏

This was an amazing experience! Myztico led me on a powerful meditation before he began painting. I opted for body painting which blew my mind when I looked in the mirror. This experience was powerful, uplifting and unique! The images he provides culminate the artistic expression of this experience, of love and light. I highly recommend this experience!!!

I had an amazing experience that allowed me to find peace of mind. I have tried meditation before but this one is special and unique. The experience gave me an opportunity to abstract myself from the surroundings. Myztico is an amazing human being, he is peaceful, he makes you feel comfortable and is a talented artist. He has a wonderful art place and good vibes. I highly recommend this experience.

I had a blast with this experience and in exploring something I've never done before. Seeing this artists work and interacting with the paint was so interesting! I initially chose to be painted but then swapped over to painting on a canvas due to logistics that worked out better for both myself and the artist. This was a funky and fun few hours and one I would recommend to others especially if you are into meditation and art.

This experience was amazing, above & beyond my expectations. I feel like we went so deep with the guided meditation in the beginning, I felt comfortable and connected the entire time. Myztico is so patient and easygoing, his space felt so welcoming. The body painting was peaceful and powerful, and I got to observe and inquire about his amazing art that covers his walls. When the time came to take photos he communicated clearly and encouraged me to share my ideas as well as his. It was an overall wonderful experience and I would do it again. Thank you Myztico!!

An experience for all the senses!! Physical, emotional and spiritual all together. We felt the magic and the love of Mystico in all and every stroke of his brushes. Starting with a deep shamanic meditation that relaxes your body and soul he guided us in a journey that ended on a unique photo shot impossible to describe in words. We left with joy in our hearts and very happy to have chosen to live this experience. Thanks Mystico, gracias hermano!!!!

This is the one of a kind experience that I strongly recommend to everyone who wants to embrace their creativity and spiritual excitement. Myztico was friendly and provided good guidance to help me during the meditation as well as the art work. I am so surprised by the final work that was painted by myself in 3 hours. Painting helps us to find the inner peace and painting in the black light is definitely worth to try!

THIS IS AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE! Tico made us feel so comfortable the entire time and puts so much effort and passion into his art! He loves what he does and it shows!! We both looked absolutely amazing after being painted and the photographs we got from this experience are absolutely amazing! Such a fun and exciting experience!!

This was my first time doing an Airbnb experience. My fiance and I l really enjoyed our time with Myztico. He's very down to earth, super talented, and his artwork is incredible! This was our first time being bodypainted, and the finish product exceeded my expectations. Myztico's passion for his craft really came across in the bodypainting, and I can't wait to print the photos and share them with friends and family. I'm so glad we decided to veer from our usual "dinner and a movie" to try something new. It was well worth it!

This experience was incredible and is definitely a memory my partner and I will always look fondly upon. From the moment you meet Myztico you are able to relax and trust that you are in the hands of an incredible artist and true professional. The 3D art is unlike anything you've ever seen and the meditation really allows you to calm down and get into a creative mind set. I encourage you to get your body painted, as a woman, I had some reservations but as I mentioned, Myztico is a true professional. The final results were mind blowing, my partner and I were shocked at how different we both looked and the focus on us as individuals that Myztico put into our body art. The photos he takes afterwards are seriously the coolest most psychedelic photos you could imagine and are a treat to share with friends. I definitely recommend this experience, come with an open mind and enjoy Myztico's conversation and artistic abilities. You will leave being appreciative of art and with a love for your body plus one of the coolest stories to add to your repertoire. Thank you Myztico! It was a pleasure to get to know and to be painted by you.

This was such a unique experience! Well worth it! Myztico is a *Visionary Artist* in many senses of the word. We happened on our spirit animals during the guided meditation. Very special. He crafts the experience to make it something truly authentic and deep. I walked out of it feeling like I had gone on a journey. The neon and blacklight artwork is beyond cool. And, I'm going to cherish the photos that were taken at the end for a long time to come. None of my friends have anything like it on Facebook or IG. Much gratitude. Thank you, Myztico!

Myztico is such an amazing person. My boyfriend and i booked this experience not knowing what really to expect and we ended up withnot only an evening of cool body painting and trippy works of art, but also interesting conversations. We were immediately put at ease by his professionalism and personality and afterward we agreed that it was our coolest Tuesday night as a couple!! Afterward we even had the opportunity to be part of his art my contributing to a video creation and he took lots of cool pictures for us to share with friends. I would recommend it to anyone and look forward to painting with him in the future.

What a great experience! I came into this not knowing what to expect other than a very unique chance to paint some UV art. It was so much more than that and the starting meditation really opened up my creativity and is something I plan to do now with my music writing to get in the right mindset. The painting was great with Myztico's guidance and willingness to explain his process and my girlfriend and I had a great time. I would highly recommend you visit Myztico if you are in the area.

This blacklight UV paint experience completely exceeded my expectations! A little background: I had purchased it as a birthday present for my boyfriend-- both he and I aren't painters by any stretch, just appreciators of art who are looking for new creative outlets. That said, Myztico knew just what to do with two newbies. The guided meditation certainly inspired us to put paint to canvas and our host's gentle suggestions made the creative process feel all the more gratifying. Some notes on the host: Myztico is a very accomplished artist with an eclectic range of experience that has led him around the world. His paintings have to be seen to believed-- once you catch sight of what they look like in the dark, you'll know what I mean! Both my boyfriend and I really appreciated his professionalism and openness. We felt so supported and inspired that we immediately ordered UV paint to try on our own at home. Can't wait to book another session-- we'd love to try his body painting experience next!

Highly recommend! This is more than just body painting. It was a relaxing, enlightening journey into my best self. Myztico had such a warm and welcoming presence. He provided a positive perspective towards art and creativity. His work in general is thought provoking and amazing. The space was peaceful and we had so much fun during the shoot. I can not boost enough about the fun I had during this experience. If you're looking to be refreshed this is for you. I would definitely do this again next time I'm in the area.

It started with discovering our Spirit Animal and ended with us embodying our black light alter egos! My best friend and I reunited after 20 years and chose to do this together as a bonding experience! We had the best time eva! Myztico was an incredible host, and so very talented. Do not miss this when you come to New York!

This was so much fun! It’s not every day that you get to meet an artist with unique perspectives on life. A little long, if I were to do it again I would just get my face painted, but other than that I can happily say it was one of the most interesting nights I’ve had in NY! Thank you for the tea and hospitality :)

Myztico provided a very beautiful experience for my boyfriend and I. He is an inspiring artist with a bright soul. I felt very welcome in his studio- it was such a wonderful environment with ambient music, glowing intricate paintings, and a cool vibe. He did an amazing job painting our bodies from waist to head. I am very happy with the photographs we have. With the UV body paint and the UV backdrop the pictures are out of this world. I would truly recommend this experience, it is a unique and memorable one.

This was by far one of the best experiences I've ever had! Myztico was so accomadating and made me feel totally free in my creativity! He began with a short sound meditation which helped me to feel relaxed and centered. Myztico was easy to talk to and was an exceptional teacher, explaining his techniques in a way that was informative but didn't make me feel like I was an idiot. This was my first time painting in nearly 10 years and it was an absolutely unbelievable feeling to do so with UV paint and an amazing teacher! Thank you so much for an absolutely magical experience Myztico!!
