The Trash Polka style was developed by Simone Pfaff and Volker Merschky at Buena Vista Tattoo Club in Würzburg, Germany. It emerged in the late 1990s and early 2000s as a reaction against more traditional tattoo styles, embracing a more avant-garde and expressive approach. The style draws inspiration from various art forms, including graphic design, realism, and abstract art, creating a unique fusion that challenges conventional tattoo aesthetics. Over the years, Trash Polka has gained international recognition and has influenced many tattoo artists worldwide, contributing to the evolution of contemporary tattoo art.
