SAILOR JERRY.

I am currently obsessed with the tattoo art of "Sailor Jerry" Collins. He developed his own pigments, thus single handedly expanding color options in the world of tattooing.

I just think its pretty awesome.
He died in 1973, but his legacy lives on in a gigantic product line, including apparel for men, women & babies, designer Converse shoes, housewares, barware, playing cards.....you name it.

I think I was born in the wrong time period. I love anything World War II - ish. Sailor Jerry is right up my alley.

On a similar note - thanks Heather for the heads up on Blog Gadgets. Lovin' me some Pin-Up Girls!

I love his stuff. I'm a sucker for traditional tattoo work.
