Hori Smoku: Sailor Jerry

There is much more to Sailor Jerry than branded Rum. His influence on tattooing is well documented and his innovation in color of prime importance. Hori Smoku: Sailor Jerry is a great introduction to the man and to tattoo history. Written and directed by Erich Weiss, the film is paced well enough for tattoo fanatics and skeptics alike. Plus, the anecdotes of Philadelphia Eddy are straight up hilarious. Find it. And, watch it.

Hori Smoku.
