People for whom their body is their canvas... literally. Older Than Feudalism as there's evidence for body painting in ancient Roman historical documentation. The complexity of designs can range from a single color all over, through designs and patterns, pictures and artwork to even paint so detailed and accurate that the person looks like they're wearing clothes.
Most commonly seen painted on attractive women for added Fanservice, or on fanatical sports fans, especially when the weather is inappropriate to be wearing only paint, to show their devotion to their team.
In real life, full-body suits like this on models and actors can often take far longer to apply than most makeup sessions (which, as any actor can attest, tend to be long to begin with), often twelve hours (or more), and take a great deal of patience from the models themselves.
Contrast Painted-On Pants, where the clothes are just so tight they look painted on, and Form-Fitting Wardrobe, which is the next step up.

In episode 26c of Jewelpet: Magical Change, Sakutaro is the star of a fairy tale movie and tells a pumpkin he helped in a store that he doesn't have suitable clothing for Laura's party. The pumpkin (actually Ruby playing one), using her magic, creates fancy prince clothes that are painted onto Sakutaro's body; however, since the magic doesn't last long, Sakutaro has to leave the party early so that nobody sees him mostly naked.

CSI: NY: In "Wasted," a model sporting a literally painted-on swimsuit drops dead on the runway. Turns out the specific can of paint used to create her outfit had been laced with ecstasy in a smuggling attempt gone bad. The runway lights were so hot the drugs vaporized, and she inhaled a lethal amount.

Ahnk Su Namun's costume in The Mummy (1999) is a loin cloth and body paint (and really long hair). Apparently the director was prepared to digitally cover her up more and was surprised that the censors allowed it as-is. The same couldn't be said for the airline versions and the trailers. In-story, the paint is actually makeup that smudges easily, and its purpose was to let Pharaoh know if anyone touched his queen. In the sequel, it was decided that the body paint was too much trouble to reapply constantly and they just went with a bodysuit that achieved the same effect.

Epic Movie (2007): Carmen Electra plays a spoof of Mystqiue who is very slutty and sexy. She's covered in blue body paint with some prosthetics to hide her nipples and privates. Later on in the film, she seduces the main character Peter into having sex with her. Since she's a shapeshifter, he eventually asks her to get fatter and older. She morphs into another actress, Lichelle D. Ebner, who is in similar makeup, with the only difference being that she is a lot fatter and flabbier, which of course turns Peter on.

The last episode of Camp Lazlo is about Scoutmaster Lumpus painting his whole body to make him look like he is wearing clothes, so he doesn't have to do his laundry. Everyone finds out about this, so they do what Lumpus did, giving them enough free time to do things like solve world hunger and invent a time machine. Lumpus is recognized as a genius because of his body-paint idea...until a thunderstorm hits.

To get even with her, he tells Nina that the paint won't come off without a special solvent, and that trying to wash it off will burn her, so she ends up walking around in gold the entire episode.

Dragon Age: Origins has kaddis, a magical warpaint for Mabari dogs. In story, it's explained as a way for the dogs to differentiate their allies from their enemies during the heat of battle, as the paint has a particular smell that is stronger than the scent of blood or sweat and the dogs' handlers paint themselves as well as their dogs (though you never see your Warden with any paint). In gameplay, it simply adds buffs.

Harry Turtledove's Worldwar novels star a race of alien lizards who use body paint rather than clothing, which is justifiable because they come from a hot, arid planet. It's all highly ritualized, to the point where an actor playing an Emperor isn't allowed to wear the proper body paint because it's seen as blasphemous. After humanity achieves an uneasy peace with the Race, the body paint is just one of the affectations human teens adopt from them, along with shaven heads and slang derived from the Race's language. Also, a group of captive lizards also ends up inventing a brand-new body paint pattern made up of red, white, and blue colors (they have become Americanized), which annoys Straka to no end, since he believes that all members of the Race have to use officially-approved patterns. Ironically, he ends up escaping captivity by applying the paint of a common soldier. Since most humans have a hard time telling lizards apart, it works surprisingly well. By the mid-21 century, (at least) American women have gotten used to walking around topless in public, either wearing body paint or not. This is quite a shock to those, who were alive in the 1940s.

Precocious has one of these somehow. Except that when the model, Sydney Oven, arrived, the painter, her future husband, used her as the BRUSH. Her opinion? "How many other families are able to hang a nude portrait of the mother over the dinner table and get away with it?" Said to... the parents of her son's classmates.

Garfield and Friends:
In "The Big Catnap", a flashback shows that Garfield conned Jon out of his cookies by painting himself yellow and pretending he has the Bolivian Cookie Fever, a disease that causes the victim's body to turn yellow and can only be cured with a large quantity of cookies. Garfield's ruse is exposed when Jon catches Odie tracking yellow paint in the kitchen.
In "Fill-in Feline", Garfield is too sick to appear in the episode, so the director gets Nermal to substitute for him. As part of his new role, Nermal gets painted orange. The orange paint gets washed off after Garfield gets Nermal to dive into a glass of prune juice.
In "The Beast From Beyond", a T-rex manages to survive the comet that wiped out his species and plots to Take Over the World by painting himself pink, passing himself off as a friendly Barney-like host called "Sidney the Pink Dinosaur" and singing sappy hypnotic songs. Garfield turns out to be the only person immune to the songs (due to a combination of not looking at the screen and flat-out realizing how stupid they are), so he goes to the studio where Sidney's show is being filmed and swaps Sidney's can of pink paint for a can of pink paint remover, foiling Sidney's evil plan and exposing his true colors, both figuratively and literally.

Very cruelly subverted in 1000 Ways to Die. A woman named Wendy who worked in a factory used some glowing paint from her work during intimacy with her husband. It turned out that said paint was radioactive (more exactly, made from radium, and few years later Wendy died from bone cancer — and some of her co-workers died as well. The other ill women who survived filed a successful lawsuit, and became the "Radium Girls".

Top 10:
Artificial Human Girl One has an interesting variant of this — her skin shifts color at will, with its default being purple. Since her creators were a pair of horny fanboys, she was also engineered with a compulsion to not wear clothes — she makes do by just creating patterns on her skin that make it hard to notice she's nude. Note that the obvious sister trope is not in play (she has the same hangups and shame about being naked as normal humans, but she can't bring herself to wear clothing). When she realizes her boss is colorblind and can see past her tricks, she decks him. Of course her boss, being a sentient dog in a humanoid exoskeleton, tells her that her naked body means as little to him as a dog's would to her, so she forgives him. However, he's lying, for a double Stealth Pun: he's lying like a dog, and he's a dirty dog for ogling her.
Later Girl clones have the same situation, as well. Girl 54 from the possibly not canon "Beyond the Farthest Precinct" plays it the same way as Girl One, Girl Two quickly finds clothes, but a near-rape shatters her emotionally, driving her off the force — she becomes a lawyer in a fancy suit, instead.

There's some literal Pokémon cosplay photos floating around the internet of a girl wearing a full-body paintjob of a Mudkip.

Futurama:
During the episode "Roswell That Ends Well," Fry uses a can of spray paint that actually creates an army uniform.
Similarly, Amy loses her top during a Beach Episode (Season 2, Episode 3: "When Aliens Attack"); she has the professor hand her a spare, which turns out to be a can of "All Purpose Spray". This is the same generic phlebotinum used in the army uniform above.

Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid: At the end of the second DVD special (where the dragon characters were dressing up like animals), Lucoa puts some splotches of black paint on her skin and calls herself a milk cow. She's promptly arrested for public indecency.

Tiny Toon Adventures: In "Two-Tone Town", Buster and Babs help obscure black and white Warner Bros. cartoon stars Foxy, Roxy, and Goopy Geer, who were previously all down on their luck, get lead parts on ACME Oop!, a new TV show that ends up replacing Tiny Toons in its time slot and getting it cancelled. To ensure that he's not left out of a job, Plucky paints himself black and white to get a part on ACME Oop!.

A Shadowrun book set in Germany has at one point two people who appear to wear Painted-On Pants (or rather, full-bodysuits), but really were completely tattooed. These books were pretty weird...

The Savage Orc variant of Warhammer Orcs wear magic warpaint that provides mystical protection roughly equivalent to light armor, except that it can potentially deflect cannonballs — which is a good thing, since they otherwise wear nothing more concealing than a loincloth, due to the heat where they live. One codex noted that a band of savage orcs was only allowed to join Grimgor's Waaaagh! on the condition that they wear some kind of clothing.

Katia Managan of Prequel is a strange example. Underneath her normal clothes, she has a bra and pair of panties, both brown, painted onto her fur in their appropriate locations. This supposed underwear can be seen whenever Katia gets naked. Which is often.

Maryam d'Abo, the female lead of The Living Daylights, did a Homage to the Goldfinger scene in her September 1987 Bond-themed pictorial for Playboy, posing wearing gold body paint. (Not something she was proud of later, as she later said in an interview in People.)

Sandra on the Rocks features the trope a couple of times:
One of model Sandra's "booth babe" jobs involves her wearing (apparently) head-to-toe body paint. She doesn't know why.
Later, Sandra considers body paint as a way to ease herself into posing nude, and asks the nervous teenager Alex (who has a considerable secret crush on her) to do the painting. He can't refuse, but his panic at the prospect leads to a scene involving his friend Marie's nervousness and her friend Ingrid's confidence, while Alex's brain melts.

Green Eggs and Ham (2019): The first season's story arc has Sam-I-Am liberate Mr. Jenkins the Chickeraffe from the Glurfsburg Zoo. He claims to Guy-Am-I that he's trying to send him home to Chickeraffe Island and that the BADGUYS are trying to sell him to Mr. Snerz, but it is later revealed in "House" that Sam was the one hired by Snerz to bring Mr. Jenkins to him, and that the BADGUYS were trying to return him to the zoo. In "There", it seems as if Sam had sold Mr. Jenkins to Snerz after all, but when E.B. tries to save him in the finale, "Anywhere", she finds out that it isn't really Mr. Jenkins, but rather a Girooster (the more hostile cousin of the Chickeraffe) painted to look like him, as the paint isn't dry yet, meaning that Sam really was sending Mr. Jenkins back to Chickeraffe Island. She exposes this to everyone by getting Michellee to literally spill her beans, knowing that Giroosters eat beans and Chickeraffes eat ties.

Invoked in an issue of the ElfQuest spinoff Rebels, in which the very much metallic-looking android Shimmer (part of the title group) passes for human at least once by claiming that these are currently all the rage where he (?) comes from. The same excuse also helps cover for Rose, who looks and talks close enough to a human child at a glance except for her part-Preserver DNA leaving her rather, well, green.

The yearly Sports Illustrated Swimsuit magazine has nearly as many models wearing Body Paint as opposed to actual bathing suits. One SI editor was eating breakfast on location with Rebecca Romijn and some of the crew and said he was halfway through the meal before he realized the bikini top Romijn was wearing was just paint.

Several years back, a gentleman did an entire Star Trek: The Next Generation uniform out of a black jockstrap, black slippers, stick-on rank pips and comlink, and everything else out of stage makeup. And then he went cruising the convention parties to much squeeing.
