Dr. Lakra

Dr Lakra, also known as Jeronimo Lopez Ramirez, is a tattoo artist born in Mexico.  He takes different objects such as old Mexican magazines and dolls to display his work.  This makes him different and unique from all different types of artists. 

This first piece by Dr Lakra, is a doll that contains all different types of work by Lakra.  The doll is completely covered in all types of figures and drawings. Some of the images that can clearly be seen are the large skull at the center of her stomach and a face right above the right breast.  I find this doll to be very unique and interesting.  I also really like that Lakra did all the tattoos in blue ink.

This second piece of work by Dr Lakra, is different in that Lakra uses a picture from a Mexican magazine.  The Mexican magazine picture alone is interesting alone without the excess amount of tattoos that Lakra has placed on the naked bride.  The theme that Lakra seems to have placed on the bride are a numerous amount of snakes placed all over her body.  There is not one spot on the body that isn't covered.  The snakes are very well done and contain very unique designs.

This last piece by Dr. Lakra is by far my favorite.  I like that he used this tiny, childish doll to decorate with his work.  The designs that he chose to cover the body with are beautifully done with different shapes and sizes.  I also find it rather amusing that he uses a child's doll and that he even covered the dolls face something that you may thing a young toddler would do.
