Jeremy Sramek

Tattooing has been Jeremy Sramek's craft for more than 25 years, and in that time his work has appeared in tattoo publications and earned awards. He owns Vanity Ink, and when you book with him, the man behind the studio is the one who draws your design and tattoos it.

As a Trash Polka tattoo artist, he sets photorealistic images against bold black brushstrokes, graphic shapes and lettering, often with a slash of red. His black and grey realism builds portraits and lifelike scenes from soft greys, deep blacks and the glow of bare skin. Beyond those two styles, his work takes in sacred geometry, full color and custom lettering, along with cover-ups and reworks of older tattoos.
