List of products by brand SAILOR JERRY

Born on the West Coast in 1911, Norman Collins earned the nickname ‘Jerry’ early on after his father noticed a similar disposition between the troublemaker and the family’s irascible donkey. It was during his travels in the Far East that Jerry developed a real fixation for Asian culture, art and imagery. After his time in the Navy ended in the late 1930s, Collins decided to settle on the then remote island of Oahu, Hawaii. From there, it all began: his small tattoo studio on Hotel Street in Chinatown would soon become the destination for millions of soldiers and sailors, usually accustomed to living every 48-hour leave to the fullest in the port of Honolulu. From then on, Norman Collins would be known only as Sailor Jerry.
