Fantastic portfolio.
very interesting… I’ve never seen anything like it before.
I love the aum tattoo on the fourth page – I have an aum, but it’s very traditional. I love it, but it’s neat seeing a very artisitic take on the symbol.
Really interesting portfolio, never seen anything like that before, quite abstract.
That is brilliant!
Neat concept, but it came out rather wonky. (perhaps intentional?)
thats rediculously awesome
I love his portfolio – you can tell that he has his own very distinct style.
Great negative space tat! And check the squeeky clean lines – how fantastic!
That’s fucking killer!
God… I would have stabbed out my eyes if I had to stencil that up and tattoo it. But it looks awesome. Props 🙂
amazing talent! anyone would be lucky to have such a unique style on them
great i want this cat to do me somthing…
i love french artists 🙂
That is brilliant. In a way, it does kind of look like he’s been run over. In a good way though.
… if being run over can ever be done in a good way?
Doh. I know what I meant.
In response to post 6- I thought that at first glance too but I think its meant to give it some perspective, as if you were viewing the snowflake from a slight angle, rather than straight on. Gives it a nice feel, rather than it just being flat, something I was trying to acheive in designing my next tattoo… something that I failed at.
Whoa, way cool. I’m impressed with the imagination some people have for the tattoos they get. I wish I was that creative.
Lionel, Yann and Noon: so, so good.
I really like that a lot. I’d love to see more tattoos that use negative space like that.
that’s wonderful!
OMG! It’s lines!
what a nightmare
I wish I had enough money to travel to Europe AND get tattooed! Some of the work coming out of there is amazing.
I’m crazy fond of this style
100% frenchstyle
very unique and quite smart ideas.
def. one artist on top of my personel wishlist.
I love how many french artists have such unique styles. Lucky I live near, and might go and get tattooed later on by one of them (if I decide getting some modern design) :>.
In response to number 11, he just draws on you and then tattoos over it all. So there are not any stencils to get get annoyed with. He is nicknamed the butcher for a reason though. He goes over the lines many times.
It’s brilliant. I’m very happy to see that new original styles are emerging
