My Dad, Sailor Jerry | PBS HAWAIʻI

The location of Norman Keith Collins’ tattoo shop in Chinatown, Hawaiʻi has changed a lot since his day, but his memory-- and influence on the art of tattooing-- lives on. We follow his daughter Meriel as she visits the shop, now known as Old Ironside Tattoo, and reminisces about her father, better known around the world as Sailor Jerry. Hear more about the popularity and cultural significance of tattoos in Hawaiʻi in our audio podcast WHAT SCHOOL YOU WENT?: This content is made possible by viewers like you.
