Trash Polka tiger tattoo
Raw power with perfect stripes. The tiger dominates Japanese and realism traditions alike — its face demands technical excellence and rewards it doubly. In Trash Polka, that reads as: chaos, composed.

The Buena Vista Tattoo Club signature: realistic imagery collaged with brutal red-and-black graphic elements, smears, typography and geometric chaos. Trash polka is loud, cinematic and unapologetically modern — designed for large canvases like the forearm, thigh or chest.
A tiger carries strength, courage against evil, passion — and Trash Polka's red & black give that symbolism its voice. Placement matters too: this subject flows best on the upper arm / bicep, back, thigh.
