They say that when it comes to tattoo artistry,
there is only one person that can be considered as the foremost American tattoo artist of his time, and person is Norman Collins or popularly known for his alias as "Sailor Jerry".
He was the one that created needle formations that embedded pigment with much less trauma to the skin, and he was one of the first to utilize single-use needles and hospital-quality sterilization. His attention to detail was so precise that the riggings in his nautical tattoos were perfectly accurate. Artistically, his influence stems from his union of the roguish attitude of the American sailor with the mysticism and technical prowess of the Far East.
Sailor Jerry became more popular because of the unique style he used in each of his work. He maintained a close correspondence with Japanese tattoo masters during his career. He regarded tattoos as the ultimate rebellion against "the Squares". For wholesaling purposes, visit an online wholesale ed hardy clothing shop.
