Got ink? Hori Smoku Sailor Jerry

Last week, Hori Smoku Sailor Jerry was met with rave reviews at SXSW Film festival. Check out this review by the Austin Chronicle's Marc Savlov.
"Sailor Jerry is the legend, but director Erich Weiss' Hori Smoku Sailor Jerry, an eye-popping, endlessly fascinating spit 'n' gristle documentary on the man who birthed the American tattoo revolution over half a century ago, is the fresh and scabby fact. It might sting a bit, but it's pre-pop-culture history writ large and smart and gorgeously messy, with nary an autoclave in sight. It gets under your skin, and the marks it leaves there are forever fascinating, outlaw-cool, and way more than skin-deep."
