He has created so many more inspiring designs since this original post I just had to update it!
Tattoo artist Yann Travaille has made his name in the over populated field of tattoo design with these astonishingly refreshing designs.
*UPDATE* – I have also posted Lionel Fahy’s work in response to the comments. I am nice like that…

I love Yann (very talented and moreover he is a very smart and nice guy) you can see more of his artwork on his website : http://www.yourmeatismine.com
to me that looks a bit too much like the work of lionel from out of step (http://el.fahy.free.fr/) . awesome, yes, and smart and new and different, but not exactly ‘original’.
Brilliant!! Something really fresh. I wouldnt mind having something like that on my body!!
Both worked at Tribal Act in Paris (best place ever) Yann was the first and then Lionel follows but Lionel gots his own style whenever he works (damn very well) with black ink.
As Yann is gone to Canada now, I hope I’ll get tattooed by Lionel ^____^
Right, Yann was the first in there, even if Liobel is a damn fine artist too.
Oh yeah, this is what i call ART!
Finally something fresh en new! looks great.
If by “fresh” you mean” shitty and overly simplistic, smacking of skilless scribbles”, then yes, this is very fresh. They look like some kind of retarded new-age crack art, inked while the artist and recepticale were both stoned/smashed. Modern art is the only souless crap i truly hate in the entirety of the artistic verse.
i would never say this style seperates him from the rest of the tattoo community, its all so basic. any tattoo artist with any type of skill could reproduce his work.
FAIL
!!!!!!!
[...] a comment » Check out these great tattoo designs by Yann Travaille. They are so fun and different from what we’re used to seeing on ppl. crazy! love love [...]
I agree with nina. COMPLETE rip off of Lionel Fahy.
So people actually agreed to let this guy tattoo scribbles from his sketch book onto their bodies?
Remember kids, different doesn’t mean good and sometimes special means the short bus and a helmet.
Mmmmh Tattoo is a live art so for all of you who disagree with Yann style (minimalist, simplist etc.) I invite you to see some video of a tattoo session of the artist (and you’ll understand what I call a live art) it is pretty impressive to see how he draws the lines in the body and it is a real performance for the model too
Okok maybe I’m not that objective, I spend hips of time in Tribal Act and I’m exposed to Yann artworks since a while (and it was love at the first sight ^____^)
Though the style feels reminiscent of Microsoft Word clip art in certain ways. I don’t want to write him off completely, though, because he does show some interesting concepts and executions. A bit TOO simplistic for my taste, is all.
try showing some real tattos. it’s the same back with different drawings. what does he do? peel the fucking skin off.

i think its good
love the simplicity
All of these made me smile. Mr. Fahy and this guy. Great find.
finally someone that does it different. I like it!
um. ha. seriously? this is different and still art, yes. but just as retards are different, there still retarded. hey if anyone wants a custom tatoo similar to this, i recommend hitin up a daycare.
Not a fan of this. Stick with traditional tattoos.

the tattoo seems too big for me lol
it looks like shit
Wow. Some truly unique designs. Thanks for sharing.
Not traditional, and I’d wager that’s what these folks were going for. Art > tradition.
I love these all because they look like scribbles, and like they were drawn with coloured pencils. It’s so cool…
These aren’t something I’d want to have on my body at all. The designs just look childish and too minimal for the amount of space they cover. I dunno, they look like doodles, not works of art.
But as long as they people who are getting the tattoos like them, that’s all that matters.
this guy is nothing special. anyone could whip out a sharpie and draw that shit on someone. that’s not art, it’s just a twat playing tattoo artist.
Jazz tattooing.
[...] Funky Tattoos – I saw this on one of my new favourite blogs cakeheadlovesevil, and loved how original the designs were. To see more of Yann Tranvaille’s designs check out [...]
I am not a fan of this either…
What…the…F*CK were you thinking?
If, by searching for originality in a tattoo, you’ve subjected your body to the indignity and embarrassment of being a ‘Display-Board’ for that regurgitated Picasso imitation then you’ve got it. You truly are one original idiot.
@Max so I gather you like them then…

Its just lines!? Thats not a good tattoo??
Although they are simple designs I like the uniqueness and simplicity. It’s not old school and it’s not new school. It is however, very interesting.
Not something I’d want on my body.
aww, someones teaching there 3 year old to tattoo,
thats really special… that is as cool as a palm tree growing apples… total crap

Yann is one of my favorite tattoo artist. He can design a mind blowing tattoo design just by drawing black lines.
