It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of Lionel from Out of Step, an artist working across Europe. This amazing piece was done on Kna‘s wife while Lionel was guest spotting at Temple Tatu in Brighton, UK. Be sure to click the picture to zoom in so you can see the tattoo’s crazy linework… I’m assuming that the hair’s calligraphy was done with a fairly radical custom needle configuration, almost like a custom brush. The entire tattoo took a bit under three hours to do.

I do not and never will understand why people want a tattoo that look slike a 2 years old drew something on you forever and the technique is a large mag dragged across the skin instead of the normal circle technique

You don’t need to understand why any person gets any tattoo. It’s a personal choice that has nothing to do with you, Mignon.

I’m glad I’m not the only person that doesnt think this looks good. Seems a bit overrated.

Wasn’t there meant to be an interview months back with Lionel?
There’s a ModBlog post about it somewhere (with the picture of the Pippi Langstrump tattoo) saying the interview is about to be posted…
