Hori Smoku - Sailor Jerry: The Life and Times of Norman K. Collins ( 2008 )
Who knew that Sailor Jerry was such an asshole? Turns out he was a racist sexist bigoted right-wing libertarian dickhead. Also a legend in the tattoo world. There's a lot of bullshit in this documentary, not all of it originating from Sailor Jerry. Other famous tattoo artists recount tall tales. Ed Hardy tramples all over Sailor Jerry to get an "in" with the Japanese masters that he ripped off. Crazy Eddie Funk gets angry at always being second place to Jerry.
I watched this in mixed company so when Sailor Jerry talks about "dial a cunt" there was indignation in the air.
but... it was an interesting glimpse into a long gone subterranean scene, which has been replaced by what the old timers sarcastically refer to as the mainstream "black tee shirts"
I'll still drink the rum named after him though - it's cheap and does the job

reasons to be regretful
i heard americans fear history asit reminds them of the void in the centre of their selvesI\ve tried to direct his attention to the documentary about the original sailor jerry tattoo master on several occasions, to no avail - search function may reveal my review of the film, etc
