Have I mentioned before how much I like Lionel from Out of Step‘s tattoo work? Yeah, I know I have, and I know I have probably enough times that you’re bored. When I’ve posted it in the past, people have been sort of split on whether it’s good childlike or bad childlike — my vote’s definitely in the “good” category.

wow i love them, thats the style of tattoo i want.
They are not the kind of tattoos I would want on me but I still think that they are really kick ass.
Supa Cute! http://www.suicidegirls.com/girls/nya is the owner of the beautiful kitty one!
I really like them, especially the cat.
is the cat mirrored or is the text supposed to read backwards? ..i can’t even read the other text, hah.
dont listen to the haters i adore his work…i have no desire to go to france outside of getting some work done by him
anyone who thinks this is “bad childlike” is ridiculous…i want nothing more than to go to france so i can get tatted by lionel…or by yann from http://www.yourmeatismine.com…so different, so amazing, so innocent and fun…what’s not to like??
The kitty one is hypnotizing me. Scary!
i like it, but in this style, i prefer Noon’s work more. it would be great if some of these french artists could make it over to the americas to do some work.
The cat one is mirrored, I believe it says “thisisafatcat”.
And the other one says “dehors” which is french for “outside”
So, I’m going to say again how much I fucking adore Lionel’s work too then :)
i love work like this i olny wish i had some
I like it, but the second picture kind of hurts my eyes. I can’t focus on it at all O_o
I love the style! The cat is such a unique idea, it’s great.
I’ve been trawling through Lionel’s gallery… I’m so wowed… I think I need to go back home and hunt him down :)
amazingly cute and fun all rolled into one!
OOHHH I WANT A LOT OF THIS DONEEEEEEE
Lionel come to upstate ny:)
his work is in the top 5 of my favorite tattoo art ever.
i love it when you post his stuff
i personally really dont like this syle.
The ‘shadowing’ on the cat makes me wonder.. Would it be possible to make a 3D tattoo using the old children’s colouring book, red line – blue line, method?? (With the awesome glasses aswell of course)
his tattoos are allways a kick in the eye :)
glad, i got a deer from him :-P
@Tanya
as i heard, yann is going to move to canada.
i sadly missed the opertunity to get ink from him,
now he’s far away over the sea…
KYA! I know the pretty owner of the fat cat too ^o^
I really like the work of Lionel and I hope to see more of it soon (and maybe on Nya again…)
i fucking adore his style !
this is art and beautiful.
the cat made my eyes funny!
I wouldn’t choose something like this for myself, but I do really like the style.
That right tat really does cause the eye to water which is great as it actually causes a physical effect. Love it.
don’t know what it is that’s so appealing about this to me. just, wow.
He’s style is the best!
his style is so adorable
omg the cat one is amazing!
So, so happy that he’s coming to guest at our studio!
*dances*
If I were to get a tattoo, I’d get it in this style. I like the images over at yourmeatismine, too.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaah! I love that!!
Ahhhhh the red lines on the kitty confuse me too >.
i love this
This guy is so good. I don’t even know what to say.
i like the art alot. it does feel a little just like voluntering to be a canvas for someone rather than being active in the tattoo process. i mean some of the stuff is pretty out there. as in the tattooist draws it and just pitches it to various customers. i like em, its just different .
