Sailor Jerry Tattoo Flash (Volume 2)
by Don Ed Hardy

Norman "Sailor Jerry" Collins was born in California in 1911 and died in Hawaii in 1973. Working his entire career in seafaring communities, Sailor Jerry was heir to a finely developed sailor's craft and the flash he painted was his key to success. The majority of his career was spent in Honolulu's Chinatown, the primary honkytonk of seafaring men, where he occupied a variety of tiny storefront shops. Sailor Jerry's designs have become the foundation of traditional tattoos seen today. The flash in this book is entirely from the collection of Michael Malone, who continued Sailor Jerrry's tradition in the same shop locale from 1973 until 2001.Published in 2004 by Hardy Marks Publications. 15 x 11. Paperback, 60 pages.
