Trash Polka Tattoo Ideas

A black and red collage of realistic images, brush strokes, splatters and type. Trash polka works best large, on arms, backs and thighs.

Trash polka was created in Germany and combines realism, abstract brush strokes, typography and graphic shapes in black and red only. Skulls, ravens, clocks, portraits and words cut out like newspaper letters are common.

The style is bold and usually large, so it works best on the arm, thigh, back or chest.
