Trash polka tattoos

Custom trash polka tattoos in Dallas: realism collaged with bold black and red.

Trash polka mixes photo-realistic imagery with aggressive graphic elements: red and black brush strokes, splatter, typography and geometric shapes. It is loud on purpose. Char calls it her favorite style, and clients have flown in from out of state for it.

What makes a strong trash polka piece

  • One clear realistic focal point
  • Bold red and black blocks that frame it
  • Movement that follows the body
  • Room for creative freedom, since the abstract parts are drawn to fit you

Abstract and brush-stroke tattoos

Char also tattoos colorful abstract and brush-stroke designs. They are a great first tattoo for clients who want something painterly without a full realism piece.
