Me too! I started at one shop and he never told me any history (street shop,all about money) now im with 2 old school guys and they want me to know where it came from and I love it more now then I ever have🖤
I been watching this since i first started apprenticing in 2014. Ten years later and its aging like fine wine. thank you to all the lengends who paved the way all but Hardy have now passed on. I wish we could go back to the golden years of tattooing back when we were pirates.
Always like the docu style where the writers/directors don't inflict themselves upon you. I don't need a presenter hogging the spotlight. Let the content speak for itself. Great job!
I got my first tattoo back in February... now a few months later and I have a half sleeve that will turn into a 3/4's sleeve. I have a mix of traditional, neo-trad, and Japanese inspired. There is something truly magical and special when you're getting tattood.
When I was tattooing I used to play this video over and over again in the shop. The history tattooing always was so amazing to me hearing all the crazy stories and all the amazing artist. I was grateful that I got to meet some of these artist before they passed away.
Dude, this is a great video!! + whoever was in charge of the music must have a great knowledge of ca. 1920's Hawaiian steel guitar (edit: just saw on the credits it's Bob Brozman., prob the living king of Hawaiian steel. Awesome!). When I was a kid we used to go hang outside Philadelphia Edidie's Tattoo Shop and Bar, on 4th right off of South St. He does a great job being the salty character in this
Brilliant documentary, loved every minute! Fantastic soundtrack too, does anybody know if the closing song was wrote for this or if it has a name, its been stuck in my head for days now!!
Great flick! I was blessed to get a Sailor Jerry "Grape Girl" done by Mike Malone in 1976. I'd never heard of Sailor Jerry until my shipmate, FTM1 Joel Dronsky, hooked me up and sent me to Mike Malone.
Someone made a killing tatting anchors on the Canadian forearms of my grandad's generation. I've oftened wondered where they all got em but sadly it was too late to ask em.
I had no idea that he was a Right wing republican? It’s funny how Sailor Jerry rum and the associated paraphernalia of the brand, is now the go to drink and branding for the left wing millennials… I wonder what he would make of this? It’d be bit like Catholics drinking a Henry the VIII branded Mead.. 😂
Republican wasn't even remotely the same thing at that time. Ideas have been shuffled around from one party to the other and back again so much that defining someone who is dead and has been dead since the nixon administration as a republican or a Democrat in a bio made for modern audiences is asinine at best and ignorant and misleading at worst. Republicanism has changed so much just since 2008 with the rise of the tea party as proto MAGA that someone who called themselves republican before then would be shocked at what that means now. Keep it in mind that people in history are a product of their time, not ours, so you cannot always judge them based on society today. I'm a millennial and a liberal myself but people make this mistake far too often as if society doesn't shift based on the times.
i stopped watching the moment he spoke of living a child's life as an adult being something to aspire to.... yep. arrested development as a positive. i can't believe people buy into this shit. who do you think profits from perpetuating these myths? grow uo
I think you could enjoy the history without buying into any particular philosophy, they had. Sailor Jerry said a lot of things I disagree with, but it is the recent history we have.
I am currently being mentored by a professional tattoo artist and my assignment is to watch this on repeat.
Smart Mentor, good luck!!
Same! Gotta learn the roots.
How's everything going?
Got a @ on Instagram I can follow? Anyone with a mentor like this is bound to make quality shit!

I got my first tattoo 50 years ago, and started tattooing 5 years later, never looked back

Agreed! We have been scheduling more historical interviews. They are amazing!
Why did you stop tattooing? I’m approaching 25 years tattooing and As my body ages, I still do what I can. What made you quit?

Sailor Jerry somehow represents the essence of Absurdism
I'm a sailor trying to be a tattooist 🥰
Funny that i was a Tattooist but always wanted to be a Sailor.👍
Oh what I’d do for a Sailor Jerry original

not really - we can respect someones art without liking that he's right wing - its not a big deal
@@leigh7507he’s definitely rolling in his grave
