10 Best Wrestling Face Paints Ever

10. The Batiri

The least known entity on this list by an absolute mile, The Batiri deserve more than just a mention when it comes to the weird world of professional wrestling face paint. A trio performing in CHIKARA and billed from Bled Island (ironically one of the most beautiful spots in all of Europe), Kobald, Obariyon, and Kodama have somehow become one of the most popular acts in Mike Quackenbush's bizarre promotion.

Their face paint stands out more than most, and a lot of that is down to the colour juxtaposition going on. The designs themselves are fairly standard, all gothic patterns and horror movie eyes, but whoever made the decision to put bright green/yellow next to black deserve a medal. A bright, bright medal.

Face paint is supposed to help performers stand out, and nothing stands out more than neon green. Good work, you weird demons you.
