Are you insured?
Yes. Laughing Llama is fully insured for professional events and can provide insurance documentation when needed.

What setup does face painting need?
Enough space is needed for the face painting setup and guest line, plus shade or weather accommodations for outdoor events and adequate lighting for all events.
Do you paint children under age 2?
Laughing Llama generally does not recommend face painting for children under 2. If a parent still requests it, that choice is fully at the parent or guardian's discretion and responsibility.
What do tarot experiences feel like?
Tarot experiences are conversational, reflective, welcoming, and low-pressure rather than theatrical or intimidating.
What is laughter yoga?
Laughter yoga combines guided group interaction, playful exercises, intentional laughter, movement, and breathing in a way that is accessible and adjustable for many kinds of groups.
Can I reach out by text?
Yes. The booking form, email, and text are all welcome. Texting is especially helpful for quick availability checks and simple follow-up questions.
