Sailor Jerry Tattoo Flash #1
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.
