Dr. Lakra (Mexican, born 1972) is an artist and tattooist living and working in Oaxaca, Mexico. Born Jerónimo López Ramírez, he renamed himself Dr. Lacra (or Dr. Scar) in reference to the medical briefcase he uses to carry his equipment and to his manipulation of found imagery and objects. He also creates collages and drawings, which began as sketches for his tattoos. Using various iconographic sources to depict a wide range of content, the artist emphasizes the contrast between new and old. Other themes include vulgarity, religion, evil, repression, sex, and violence.
