Next Tuesday marks the would-be 103rd birthday of the father of modern tattoo, Norman “Sailor Jerry” Collins. To celebrate, tattoo artists all over the country will be paying homage to Norman’s legacy by inking 103 of the biggest Norman fans with the same piece of Flash Art, The Swallow.
NYC will be celebrating at 169 Bar, one of the biggest tattoo shops in the city and Three Kings will be inking from 2 p.m. – midnight. There will be specialty Sailor Jerry Rum cocktails, rum–soaked bites, and a boozy birthday cake. On a first come first serve basis, 103 New Yorkers will walk away with a free Swallow tattoo, so come early.
