Yann Travaille’s Crayon Scribble Tattoos

By Queuebot in Body Modifications, Everything Else, Pictures on Jun 27, 2009 at 3:36 am

Tattoo artist Yann Travaille has made a name for himself in the over populated
field of tattoo design with his astonishingly refreshing designs normally done with crayons, not tattoo ink.

Check out more of his crayon-like tattoos on his website YOUR MEAT IS MINE (Some images NSFW):

    Those look terrible. I can’t imagine not regretting those once the novelty has worn off.

    Oh. My.God! Who in their right mind would want such a tattoo?? I have to agree with Dani here…

    I like his style, but I’m not sure if human skin is the best medium for his drawings. Moreover, the fact that some of the pics seem to have been taken right after the tattoo was made is kind of off-putting because the skin looks reddened and irritated.

    I love many of them. it’s great seeing new ideas. the bat sleeve and shrimp side are especially awesome :)

    I don’t care for most of them; I like the drawings, I just think they’re kind of… stupid as tattoos. However, the vines on the shoulder in gallery 7 are really sort of beautiful. I’d rather see it on a slightly smaller scale and minus the red parts, but as it is, I don’t think it’s bad at all.

    Some of the others are just a great big mess, though.

    These are amazing! Nice to see some new concepts in tattoo art. And to those who don’t like them – don’t get them!

    Come on! at least they are a little different! Most have the same old cookie cutter bulls**t! Tattoo’s are getting passe anyways, the FAD is wearing down.

    when I first saw them I thought they were tattoos the people had done as children, or their children did, or a child they know did. that would be way better.

    Finally! Someone is transgressing the ‘ol biker style.

    The designs are quite intricate and beautiful when you look deeply enough, like a lot of art, but not as a tattoo. However, to each their own and since all tatoos are a matter of taste these are no different than a rose or a cartoon character but forty years later most won’t be happy with them.

    Babyboomer, that’s a “fad” that’s survived thousands of years and exists across multiple cultures.

    They look like doodles. Some of them are really lovely, very clean and simple. I have tattoos, so I can really appreciate how much work went into some of these, although most of them are not designs I’d want as they are a little too “Hot Topic” for my tastes. The “Guernica” artwork really caught my eye, although that, of course, is Picasso.

    They do have that hello kitty emo vibe that I too would associate w/ Hot Topic.

    I like this guys work, the designs are whimsical and the tattoos are very well done.

    “the skin looks reddened and irritated.” -Mytake

    That is because those are fresh. It goes away after a few days.

    I like those. Because I desgined a tattoo for myself years ago that was done in crayon, and it was simple.
    on a smaller scale though the shark one would be great.

    The one on the upper right looks as though it is incomplete and may be in the process of a cover job. It appears that the original tat is maybe a baby face.

    Wow, even prison tattoos look better than those.

    An interesting concept, but I’d prefer something a little more professional-looking. To each his/her own.

    Just wanted to mention his name is Yann Black. If you took his last name from the lower left side of his website it just means Yann works at glamort.

    i like the concept of trying a little more kiddy and cartoonish, but i don’t know what to say about those ones
    though… and whats wrong with regular tattoos?

    what the hell is a “regular tattoo”? art is subjective. and tattooing is an art form… the same reason that there ar paintings in the national museum of art of a white canvas with a tiny black suare in the middle. As a tattoo artist, i can tell you that the tattoos are done very well!! the art is for the person getting them to like, not you. dont judge the content, judge the art it self. His ART and his TATTOO work, is alot better than many super famous tattoo artist. i love it!!

    Tattoos are a form of art.
    What’s to say that this isn’t beautiful?
    I love it. It’s a different spin on the very saturated and trite works of art you can find elsewhere.
    Keep the Canadian spirit up, Yann. :)
