This wonderful book not only includes the images of Sailor Jerry's celluloid stencils but also an overview of Sailor Jerry himself and the process and growth that the tattoo industry sustained under his keen eye. The stencil images are priceless and a true must for any true tattoo enthusiast or Sailor Jerry fan. As a bonus, the pages are perferated for easy tracing or even framing. A wonderful book.

I feel that every single tattoo artist,inspiring tattoo artist, or any kind of artists and even art historian should,must own this book. I will admit that when I read the first 15 pages cause thats all there is with any writting on. I had a tear in both my eyes. Every single page back to back is covered with Jerrys tattoo stencils. Also every page is in a very heavy duty paper and they are perforated so you can take each page out and laminate them and use in your shop or portfolio of flash to use for you customer/clients. Every page is full of history. I highly recomend this book and the otherjerrys stencil books they are a very big must have specialy for you buisness/shop you will be so excited to look at the tats not to mention the money you will make from the stencils. I noticed that every single Tattoo magazine has countless tattoos specialy the women are covered in this art. I recomend this book in a big way.
You are very welcome for the big tip.

I purchased Sailor Jerry's tattoo designs books for my son, who is a very picky kind of guy when it comes to tattoo designs. He was really surprised and delighted with this book. It is really part of the history of the tattoo - specifically the designs popular for the "traditional" folks who always liked having tattoos when they weren't popular with the younger crowd they decorate today. Sailor Jerry's designs are still "in", and many artists have started their craft doing designs that Sailor Jerry created. To me, this is really a part of the history of art, whether you want to put it on your skin or not. We highly recommend this collection of designs for anyone who wants to see variety - not just the tribal stuff that one sees so much of today.

I was looking for Pin Up Art Styles and found it all in this book. All the styles are for men & women. When You go into a tattoo shop and look at all the art work on the walls and books; this book has it all summed up. This cool book has it all.

This is a solid collection of one of the most influential tattoo artists of our time; Sailor Jerry has shaped and inspired so many people out there.

A great addition if you plan on creating ideas for your next piece or just as a reference point.

I thought the stencils were going to be a little more graphic than they were. They were sloppy looking and all looked like a kids doodling book

How can you go wrong with a book full of stencil designs from Sailor Jerry Collins? You can't, and I highly recommend ANY book on the original Sailor Jerry. I also recommend:Revisited - A Tribute to Flash from the Past (Tattoo Flash Book) and Vintage Tattoos: The Book of Old-School Skin Art and Advanced Tattooing Techniques A Guide To Tattoo Realism

A good source of very nice Sailor Jerry Stencils from the man who in my opinion did the best traditional tattoo flash ever.

Not as good as the now difficult to get Sailor Jerry Tattoo Flash books (volumes 1 and 2), which give a better of idea of this man's talents drawing flash. It has some extra stencils of things not in those books, so it is well worthwhile.

The book is good for simple, traditional stencils. The drawings are super basic (as they should be for that time), but I was hoping I can get an idea for what the stencils looks like with color and shading. The drawings are fun to mimic and be creative with your own shading and color.

Beautiful old school stencils of the original artwork of Sailor Jerry...what more could you want! :)
