While tattooing in Honolulu, Norman "Sailor Jerry" Collins became the first Western tattooer to keep up direct contact with Asian master tattooers, among them Horiyoshi II of Tokyo and Pinky Yun. Across the Pacific looks at what passed between Pinky Yun and Sailor Jerry, and how Pinky's drawing fed into Jerry's tattoos, drawings and paintings.
The 16-page, 8.5" x 11" softcover is made up of Pinky Yun's line drawings, including sailor, pirate and cowgirl figures, nude women and Asian women, along with a sailboat scene on the cover. It's a short book, but it documents a part of the Sailor Jerry story that's easy to overlook.
For collectors of Sailor Jerry flash and tattoo history, it's a key piece of the cross-Pacific exchange that shaped American traditional tattooing. Tattooers will find clean outlines with a distinct East-meets-West character.
