Jerónimo López Ramírez (born 1972), known as Dr Lakra, is a Mexican artist and tattooist based in Oaxaca. He has shown work internationally in exhibitions including at Tate Modern[1] and Barbican Centre[2] in London, Drawing Center in New York City,[3] Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Oaxaca in Mexico, and Yokohama Museum of Art in Japan.[citation needed] His works are held in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, Hammer Museum and Walker Art Center.
Apart from tattooing, his art involves embellishing found images and objects—for instance, dolls, old medical illustrations, and pictures in 1950s Mexican magazines—with macabre or tattoo-style designs.[4]
He is the son of the graphic artist Francisco Toledo[5] and Elisa Ramírez Castañeda, a Mexican anthropologist and poet. He is also the brother of Natalia Toledo (poet) and Laureana Toledo (artist).[6]
