well this kinda looks like an oil slick, or tar. is that what you want?? you mnetioned that you want to write onto the skin? like letters?? I would sudgest  either a black Kryolan aqua colour , or a liquid body paint. The image kinda looks like it could be liquid latex , it's probably not but it might also have Ultra Slime or Ultra Wet painted over top of the black paint to make it look super slimy and really wet.
I like Kryolan the best fro a body paint. but thats just me smile

well it could be chocolate sauce with some black pigment in it that is covering her and she is sliding around in.
But if you want the products I mentioned before check out any theatrical make-up supply store they should have em.
But I must warn you the Ultra products are $$$$

Depends on your needs; Black latex bodypaint (make sure your model is not allergic to latex and a paint o get off), acryllic non toxic paints mixed with honey (doesn't dry well but looks great and washes off with soap and water or mixed with prosaid really hard to get off but staying power), kryolan body paints with the wet hair sheen spray for Afro American hair looks great too.

Let us know what you end up using and how it turns out.
