After the screening the entertainment continues with an Afterparty featuring the Bill Blue Band and more Sailor Jerry run drink specials and more free popcorn.
Hori Smoku Sailor Jerry is a feature length documentary exploring the roots of American tattooing through the life of its most iconoclastic figure, Norman “Sailor Jerry” Collins. Known to most as Sailor Jerry, the film examines his life on the water, in the parlor and in the flesh of his devotees.
Considered by many the foremost tattoo artist of all time, Collins is the father of modern day tattooing, whose uncompromising lifestyle and larger than life persona made him an American legend. Through rare interviews, photographs and hours of archival footage, Hori Smoku Sailor Jerry: The Life and Times of Norman Keith Collins, explores the past, present and future of the global tattooing phenomenon.
