Not everybody is a fan of the work Lionel from Out of Step does, and understandably so. Much of what he does runs counter to many tattooing traditions, with a huge emphasis on embracing negative space, rather than filling up pieces with as much ink as possible. This above piece is less a tattoo and more a performance; it looks to me like the lines don’t actually go all the way around various body parts, so outside of this pose, she likely just looks as if she’s sporting semi-randomly occurring scar-like lines. Maybe not for everybody, but this sure does it for me.
See the other side, after the jump.

To begin, it horrifies me to know that there are people on this planet that can look at this image and see beauty in it. wheres the beauty? Wheres the art? Wheres the beef? Lines drilled into skin like razor cuts is not art. Anybody could have done this. To come up with an idea like this is not talent, it’s not creative, it’s ridiculous. It made me think of a punk rocker that cuts herself for attention. To see so many band wagon jumpers give praise to this garbage sickens me. Art isnt just something that makes you think. Dont waste the sandwich on her, shes already obviously starving for brain matter to have lines carved into her that symbolize nothing, represent nothing, and can only be recognized if she remains in the fetal position. But her hair color is really cool. Whatever.

A bunch of weak wankers to remove real comments from the page. If you only wanted praise and thumbs up you should have never posted this garbage to be judged and seen by anybody. Controversial stuff is what it is. some will like it and some wont. If your not prepared to hear from both sides of the coin then keep your art to yourself and make sure only your mother and best girl tell you how great you are. Cheers
