Between 1940 and 1973, Norman Sailor Jerry Collins became known as the greatest practitioner of classic American tattooing. His masterful designs-featuring ships and beautiful girls, eagles, hearts, roses, and other now-familiar motifs-were widely imitated but rarely matched for boldness, elegance, and clarity. This wonderful collection of Sailor Jerry's own working patterns, known as flash art, is a treasure trove for tattoo fans as well as students of Americana and folk art. Each sheet of flash art is reproduced in full size in order to show the subtleties of detail and shading for which Collins was renowned. As today's tattoo renaissance spreads, there is a fast-growing appreciation of the artistic and cultural value of traditional designs like Sailor Jerry's-a fact to which Sailor Jerry Tattoo Flash is a surprisingly beautiful and wit-laced testament.

The Essential Flash Book,
By TexasGirl (Central Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sailor Jerry Tatto Flash: Rise & Shine (Paperback)
This book is absolutely beautiful. I have used a friend's copy to get ideas for my tattoos and I finally needed to buy my own copy. Sailor Jerry was/is the quintessential tattoo artist of the '40s-'70s and is experiencing a resurgence in popularity. People are once again appreciating the humor and the detail of his work. For anyone interested in the art of the tattoo, the book is an essential purchase. My next piece is his classic cowgirl for my back (oh, and I am a woman and I can appreciate that his stuff was not just for sailors).

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sailor Jerry Tatto Flash: Rise & Shine (Paperback)
I bought this Sailor Jerry flash book for my girlfriend as a Christmas present, and when we opened the book and looked at it together, I wished I had bought it for myself! It has some amazing flash art, some designs you've probably already seen but a lot that aren't very common and harder to come by. Some great designs, I was so inspired to get another tatt after looking at the pictures that I did go get one about a week later! A must-have for any Sailor Jerry Collins fan!
