- A Nightbird’s Passageby JonathonSome stories take their time, unfolding over decades, through life’s long detours and diversions. But dreams never rest until they’re fully realized. Even after 15 years, Robb knew there was still a suspension experience waiting for him. Something left unfinished, something essential. At OSC last… Read more: A Nightbird’s Passage
- What Lifts the Body, Shifts the Soulby JonathonFirst suspensions are rarely just about the body— they’re a meeting point between the physical and the deeply personal. Stepping into this experience isn’t simply about trying something new, but about stepping outside yourself to a version you had always sensed was waiting. I’ve had… Read more: What Lifts the Body, Shifts the Soul
- Skin and Strings: The Art of Human Puppetryby JonathonOne of the most powerful things about being at a convention like OSC is the sheer concentration of experience, creativity, and capability in one place.

- Twelve Points to the Skyby JonathonThere’s a particular kind of magic that happens at your first big suspension gathering when you arrive with nerves, an open heart, and the quiet hope of flight.

I am loving the first three.
maybe it’s like “holy cow,” only it includes all meat. haha
The smoke from the house looks really good.
the first one..
I LOVE IT.
Yeah I really like the smoke heart too
do him and that tattoo artist Yann (http://yourmeatismine.com/) work together? All their work resembles each other’s and I’m sure that they’re not the only artists out there that do this kind of stuff but I thought I’d ask.
I really like the third one.
I LOVE that black sleeve!
Felicia – I don’t think so but there is definitely a similarity in their styles.
The one on the left is gorgeous.
I like the first 3. I think it’s awesome how the stem of the flower goes onto the hand.
I’m thinking that the “holy meat” reference is something among cattlemen…?
i am absolutely in love with the third one.
that flower in the black is gorgeous.
🙂
thats why I love solid black work, that arm is so nice looking
if anyone has’nt yet go check out his artwork on his site

so, i just realized that i am quite capable of developing active crushes on tattoos.
curious.
aw these tattoos are so interesting and original. I really love the first two!
i love love love the 2nd one. 🙂
The “black” sleeve looks like a dark blue to me… I’m probably wrong though.
And I love the smoke from the chimney too, it looks wispy.
I love Lionel’s tattoos.
the black sleeve looks like it’s a cover up.
The first three are among the best tattoos I’ve ever seen.
shannon,
has the top of that third tattoo been featured on here before? i remember seeing that and absolutely loving it.
Maybe “Holy Meat” is a Mark Ryden reference…? I know he had that whole series of paintings prominently featuring meat.
Or maybe the person just likes steak a whole lot, like I do. 🙂
Oh yes, the first three tattoos are great and I am absolutely *in love with* and *inspired by* the solid blackwork one…
great tattoos. lionel gets better every time i see his work.
#6:
lionel and yann are good friends.
they tattoed each other and share ideas, as far as i know.
in general i think yann’s work is rougher.
the first three are amazing, i love them
i would totally not let him anywhere near me with a tattoo machine.
third one… that sleeve is the shit! how beautiful is that!
That third sleeve is the most beautiful tattoo I’ve seen in ages, I love it.
black sleeve looks like it’s had shit done under it,,, looks bad ass. house with the smoke is great aswell, and on the 4th one…. i don’t eat meat and whatnot, but to each his/her own.
oh my… i love the 1st and 3rd…
the first for the simplicity and the third cause its so solid, and unsual and so pretty… really love it
Yes.
23 The top looks like this one, to some extent, this one. Which I also loved.
Ugh, apparently I didn’t check that over, only s’posed to be the “this one” with the link, not the other one.
fuck i love blackwork. thats beautiful.
i was wondering if the little house is the house from the movie “dead inn breakfast” ?
I fucking love meat. I like the little ketchup bottle too. Think I’ll go have a cheeseburger now. The first tattoo is cool the way it extends to the thumb is interesting, the second is so simple in design but has that eerie haunted house feel to it, and the third has a nice floral theme which I am partial to and I fucking love blackwork on top of that. Overall they are nice, simple, well executed tattoos
I love the house with the heart smoke, very cool
I knew it was by Lionel. I love the work.
Wow, I love them all!
These are some of my favorite tattoos in the world by one of my favorite artists in the world… if I can ever get over to France to study I’m absolutely getting tattooed by Lionel, first thing. Sighhhhhh. 🙂
Holy meat could only be one thing. The holiest of holies…as described by Pulp Fiction, of course.
Vagina.
the first one is especially lovely… and maybe the guy really likes steak or such..
ohh i love lionel! his work at least..i’m sure he is a lovely man.
I agree with comment 41 🙂
I love the smoke on the house what a cute idea, so sweet.
man i love this man’s work
i can recognize it anywhere
i can not wait till you come to the US lionel!!
i’ve never wanted a tattoo from an artist as much as i want one from him.
I’ll ask him what it means tomorrow…
He’s guesting with us at the moment, and we don’t want to give him back! Such a lovely bloke!
The Holy Meat one is a little odd, but I love the rest!
4th tattoo is quite unusual
