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.

interesting, linear., I’m curious to see her standing, however.
looks like scarification, makes me think of that thing in the first resident evil that lopped off limbs?
(sorry, it’s been a while)
either way, it’s an interesting and refreshing bit o’ new ink.

That tag made me LOL. It bothers me when people comment on a woman’s body instead of the mod. I think the tattoo is lovely/interesting and so is she!

i, too, am really curious to see her standing, though.

I want to see one of her standing out. But I think it’s just really.. neat. It took me a while to get it, I just assumed it was string right away,

Is it so raised because it’s fresh, or is it a scar with a tattoo on top?
