As the resident tattooed freak at CG, I feel inclined to inform those of you with Rock Band that you’ve got some great Americana included besides those classic rock tracks you’ve been jamming to the last few months. Being able to tattoo your band members in the game isn’t anything new, but do you know any of the history behind some of the tattoo flash that’s available? Have you ever heard of Sailor Jerry?
Allow me to enlighten you on old school tattooing in America. When most tattoo aficionados think of ‘old school’ tattoos only a few names come to mind and Sailor Jerry happens to be one of them if not the only one. He was a rough and tumble sort of guy who sailed around the world while serving in the Navy and during his tours throughout SE Asia he eventually grew fond of the art he saw so frequently. He eventually landed in Honolulu where he opened up shop in Chinatown.
