Description

Sailor Jerry's Tattoo Stencils II is a unique collection of designs that showcase the artistry of American tattoo master Sailor Jerry Collins. Spanning from the 1940s to the early 1970s, this extensive collection features the foundational linework of countless stunning designs, including pinups, roses, bluebirds, hearts, banners, and military and political cartoons. Each stencil was meticulously handcrafted by Jerry using celluloid, vinyl, or acetate sheets, specifically for his thriving tattoo trade in downtown Honolulu. The stencils are permanent tattoos etched into plastic, enduring as timeless artifacts that bear the subtle remnants of charcoal dust from their last usage. Every stencil is proudly signed by Jerry, featuring one of his distinct and recognizable signatures. This remarkable book stands alone as a comprehensive workbook for aspiring artists, providing valuable insights into Sailor Jerry's techniques and an array of designs to ignite creativity.
