I'll just add a caveat here. Don't use any old candle you happen to have laying around. Some additives to candle wax, such as dyes and perfumes, don't play nicely with human skin. And just about every additive raises the melt point, resulting in hotter wax. Stearic acid (stearine) is the worst for this, and is in very common use. You can compensate by raising the candle (allowing the wax more fall-time to cool) but then the wax splatters more, and makes it difficult to produce pleasing designs.
I have a package of red candles from IKEA that work nicely. They're composed of paraffin and a red dye, and NOTHING else. Oddly enough, the sales staff didn't even raise an eyebrow when I interrogated them on the contents of the candles. The national head office seemed equally unperturbed when I phoned. (No-one has yet reacted to the red dye, but it's advisable to do a small patch test of every colour you have on every new sub before going wild.)
