First off. To all our American readers, Happy Thanksgiving! 

The Amsterdam Tattoo museum is a massive achievment by Henk "Hanky Panky" Schiffmacher. Unfortunately it's found itself embroiled in some legal problems and could do with the support of the tattoo community at large to help make sure it remains in the right hands. The museum has released the following statement:

Comrades at arms!

It is been overwhelming, we’re blown away by the enormous support we’ve had the last 24 hours. Never before in my whole history as a tattoo artist I’ve come across such an enormous exposition of positive energy. Reactions worldwide, tweets and retweets, pictures on Instagram, posts on Facebook, etc. It’s a tough fight, but we’re in to win this.

Again today we were denied access to our museum. Locks have been changed, negotiations with the police to get personal matters like tattoo machines were necessary. A tidal wave of local and national press were served all day. Negotiations with landlords, lawyers and businessmen took place. Do not despair my friend. We will fight this with success. Stay tuned!

P.S. Lawsuit is about 1.5 million Euros and has no ground at all. Come see us on December 8th. Help us fight for our art, fight for our history, fight for our future, fight for our museum!

To salute the last ten years of epic Sailor Jerry action, a short film has been created of never-seen-before archived footage from legendary Sailor Jerry Presents gigs, events and backyard barbecues over the years, all set to the iconic 1979 punk track Where Eagles Dare by The Misfits. Like Sailor Jerry himself, The Misfits are independent spirits united in the fierce protection of their legacy. They have never before allowed their work to be used commercially, until now, testament to the band’s shared ethos with Norman 'Sailor Jerry' Collins himself. The exhilarating two-minute short film is an assault on the senses combining the past ten years of action-packed Sailor Jerry moments with historic WWII-era Honolulu material taken from the Hori Smoku documentary on the life and times of the legend himself, Norman ‘Sailor Jerry’ Collins.
