TRASH POLKA
Bold, Dynamic, and Unconventional Art
Created by Simone Plaff and Volko Merschky in the 1990s, the Trash Polka tattoo style is a unique and striking fusion of various artistic elements. This distinctive style combines surrealism, realism, and geometric shapes with lettering or graphic tattooing, creating a visually dynamic and chaotic effect. Trash Polka tattoos are known for their exclusive use of black and red ink, offering a dramatic and eye-catching contrast.
At Yepes Tattoo Studios, our artists are adept at crafting stunning Trash Polka tattoos that capture the essence of this bold and unconventional style. Most Trash Polka pieces are larger in size, featuring a mix of bold and fine black lines, grey shading, and vivid splashes of red ink. This combination creates a powerful visual impact that is both modern and timeless.
Common motifs within the Trash Polka genre include realistic animal portraits, floral designs, movie characters, and nautical-inspired themes. These elements are often paired with abstract shapes, dynamic linework, and ink splatters, resulting in a tattoo that is both artistic and expressive.
