Every now and then a tattoo artist or collective comes along and shakes things up abit.. Buena Vista Tattoo Club certainly does this. Volko Merschky and Simone Pfaff are the artists behind the studio, who have developed a really cool, unique style of grunge graphics, realistic portaits and typography. Making their own brand of "realistic trash polka"
Halftones, color overlay, brush strokes, stains and vintage fonts that seem to come from an old typewriter in a black and white + 1 color palette are the elements surrounding stunning realistic skulls and portraits, usually displayed on large skin portions, as they deserve
Some may not understand their work, others fall in love with it instantly.
Based in Germany (with a huge waiting list) but never fear, they travel to many international conventions.
