Imagine how long it took the artist to tattoo all of that script? It must have taken ages, but well worth it because this tattoo is badass. The female portrait crying blood is brutal but also sends a powerful message and works well with the script that has been used. You\u2019ll notice that this style is never tattooed small, and that\u2019s because there is always a lot going on. T:herefore it will usually be made into a full sleeve or done on a large area of the body.<\/p>\n

Not only does it add a ghostly effect but also complements the red and solid black beautifully. The placement is great; the focal point of the piece, the face, doesn\u2019t wrap around the forearm and is on full display for the world to see.

The wispy paintbrush strokes mixed with the almost watercolor-like splashes create an exciting and fast motion that gives this tattoo a lovely flow. I adore the hyper-realistic wolf and how the artist captured its emotion, very threatening but perhaps the client wanted this to show people not to mess with him. This is truly outstanding and I think you should go and follow this artist at IG: @bonni_ink right now.<\/p>\n IG: <\/span>bonni_ink<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_blurb title=”Rise of the Phoenix Trash Polka Torso Tattoo” image=”https:\/\/thai.tattoo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2022-10-03-22.12.42-2940961566539580924_8443493765.jpg” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_font=”PT Serif|600|||||||” header_text_color=”#000000″ header_font_size=”20px” body_font=”Inter|300|||||||” body_font_size=”17px” body_line_height=”1.75rem” header_font_size_tablet=”23px” header_font_size_phone=”23px” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” body_font_size_tablet=”18px” body_font_size_phone=”18px” body_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The Phoenix is a great creature to add to a Trash Polka design because of its wispy feathers and deep meaning. Tattoos that extend all the way across the chest are always such a winner; they\u2019re sexy, both men and women can do it, and it just flows so nicely with the shape of the chest. Here we\u2019ve got a chest piece extending all the way down to his V-lines which is breathtaking because it looks really good on him. I can picture all the heads turning when he takes his shirt off at the pool for sure.<\/p>\n IG: <\/span>vaku.tattoo<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_blurb title=”Killer Trash Polka Skull Tattoo On Man\u2019s Leg” image=”https:\/\/thai.tattoo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2022-09-03-08.43.08-2918810840080322523_21391355.jpg” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_font=”PT Serif|600|||||||” header_text_color=”#000000″ header_font_size=”20px” body_font=”Inter|300|||||||” body_font_size=”17px” body_line_height=”1.75rem” header_font_size_tablet=”23px” header_font_size_phone=”23px” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” body_font_size_tablet=”18px” body_font_size_phone=”18px” body_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n \u00a0Legs and arms seem to be a popular area to get Trash Polka designs and that\u2019s because there is so much space to work with and is ideal for how busy this style is. Here we can see another death-related design. The script accompanying it works so well with the image of the skull; to be fearless of death can set you free. I enjoy how the design extends up the leg and flows so well with the curve of the calf muscle.<\/p>\n IG: <\/span>franckrudyy<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_blurb title=”Masculine Skull and Rose Trash Polka Full Sleeve Tattoo” image=”https:\/\/thai.tattoo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2022-09-09-12.00.21-2923258758535336649_270944063.jpg” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_font=”PT Serif|600|||||||” header_text_color=”#000000″ header_font_size=”20px” body_font=”Inter|300|||||||” body_font_size=”17px” body_line_height=”1.75rem” header_font_size_tablet=”23px” header_font_size_phone=”23px” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” body_font_size_tablet=”18px” body_font_size_phone=”18px” body_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Skulls and roses are common elements used in Trash Polka designs and for good reason, they\u2019re badass and blend perfectly together. The script also works well with the imagery as \u201cmemento mori\u201d is a saying associated with the acceptance that one day you will die. I like the open gaps as they separate the top and bottom half of the piece, but not so much that they look like two individual tattoos.<\/p>\n IG: <\/span>eddyartberlin<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_blurb title=”Outstanding Trash Polka Tiger Side of Calf Tattoo” image=”https:\/\/thai.tattoo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2022-10-08-14.04.19-2944339651071362161_52692927988.jpg” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_font=”PT Serif|600|||||||” header_text_color=”#000000″ header_font_size=”20px” body_font=”Inter|300|||||||” body_font_size=”17px” body_line_height=”1.75rem” header_font_size_tablet=”23px” header_font_size_phone=”23px” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” body_font_size_tablet=”18px” body_font_size_phone=”18px” body_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Here\u2019s an awesome Trash Polka tiger on the side of the calf. The placement is lovely as the design fits perfectly in this area. I like the business of the splashes and dots, staying true to the style. The tiger\u2019s eye looks like he\u2019s blind or even possessed which adds a mystic feel to this tattoo. I\u2019m loving the red drips that look like blood pouring down the tiger\u2019s face.

This style can often be quite masculine looking because of its boldness, and here we have the perfect example of a masculine script. The name seen here is the client\u2019s daughter\u2019s which I think is a lovely way to show your love for your child, especially when it\u2019s in such a cool style.<\/p>\n
