Museum Tour
Sailor Jerry Exhibit, our Homage to Sailor Jerry (Norman Keith) Collins. A sign print from Shanghai Kate, the Sailing Ship print from Tattoo Archive, on one side a Large Sailing Ship acetate from the Underwood Collection, another acetate on the other side of a Heart and anchor from Shanghai Kate. In the display case we have a pair of Converse Sailor Jerry Limited Edition shoes, a color photo of one of Jerry's tattoos of a pin up girl. Then we have 3 photo prints, set number 13/100, of a full back and sleeves that Sailor Jerry did, from Tattoo Artist Magazine. There is also an original drawing by him as well. We put together a board of designs over a decade ago, as kind of an homage.
