Sailor Jerry It’s good to see that tattoo artists are getting the recognition they deserve.

Almost everyone has heard of Sailor Jerry.  Maybe you don’t know his background but his name is well known.  You may even think the name is just a label for a company that sells rum or tattoo inspired clothing.
