At age 19, Collins enlisted in the United States Navy. During his subsequent travels at sea, he was exposed to the art and imagery of Southeast Asia.

So much so, he was tattooing freehand before learning his craft in the Windy City. A rum and merchandise brand was eventually named after Sailor Jerry in his honor because of his enduring influence.

This smooth and flavorful rum has a rich history and is named after the infamous tattoo artist Norman "Sailor Jerry" Collins.

SHARK TATTOOS

Many of the traditional symbols he learned while traveling around Southeast Asia were used in his tattooing practice. He rose through the ranks and eventually assumed command of his vessel as its captain.

A portion of the proceeds from the event is donated every year to the Collins family by the festival founder (Jason Miller of 808shows.com/Hawaiian Express Records) and his co-host 'Josh86' (a popular musician and entrepreneur). Vanilla and cinnamon are prominent in the aroma and flavor of this rum, which is made using only natural ingredients. The spicing is primarily responsible for this brand’s distinct personality, creaminess, and variety. Since 2015, an annual independently produced event now takes place in Hawaii every June called the "Sailor Jerry Festival" to honor Collins's legacy and Chinatown roots on Oahu. The multi-venue event includes live music, DJ's, cabaret performances, an art show - featured artists have included Sailor Jerry's great-grand niece Madison Thomas, local artists, and Masami Teraoka, movie screenings, a pin-up fashion show – where models wear outfits designed from Sailor Jerry flash, neighborhood tours, and tattoos available at three area shops, including Sailor Jerry's last location. [9]As well as his signature sailor jerry tattoos, Norman Collins lived a captivating life outside of the tattoo parlour – hosting his own radio show, playing in a jazz band, and captaining a three-masted schooner boat that toured the islands around Hawaii. On his return to Hawaii, Sailor Jerry opened a tattoo parlour in the Hotel St district of Honolulu. It was there that Sailor Jerry’s tattoo of a hula girl became a popular choice for soldiers visiting the island and wanting to get a souvenir of their time spent there. Adding to his collection, his designs of ships, hula girls, roses, and eagles are now globally recognised and have influenced tattoo artists worldwide. Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum makes one damn-tasty drink, no matter how you like it. How about Sailor Jerry Mojito?

Sailor Jerry Ltd. produces a 92-proof spiced "navy rum" featuring a quintessential Sailor Jerry hula girl on the label. As the bottle is emptied, additional pin-up girls designed by Sailor Jerry are visible on the inner side of the label. The rum is distilled in the U.S. Virgin Islands. It takes its influence from Caribbean rum, which sailors would spice with flavors from the Far East and Asia. In 2010, the 40% ABV formula being sold in the United Kingdom was changed to include a less sweet taste in a move that was described as more "vanilla and caramel flavors".

The undisputed father of the old-school tattoo, Norman 'Sailor Jerry' Collins build his rep tattooing in Hawaii's brawling Hotel Street district of Honolulu, where sailors and soldiers came to raise hell before heading off to war. He was a master craftsman of unflinching integrity and in his name, we make our rum. Blended with the finest rums from the Caribbean and our unmatched recipe of natural spices. Made the Old-School Way. 80 Proof. Bold & Smooth as Hell. Enjoy a 70cl bottle of Sailor Jerry Spiced - a true original that holds its own. Our 92 proof spirit is historically accurate. In fact, the term “proof” comes from the method of reassuring sailors that their rum has not been watered down. A ship's captain would take a ladle of rum, add gunpowder and ignite it to provide his crew with a "proof" of the integrity of their rum. Overall, Captain Morgan offers a considerably greater selection of products and rum tastes, including apple, coconut, watermelon, and pineapple. When looking at the two brands side by side, the price is the only distinguishing factor. Bacardi Malibu, on the other hand, is far more daring when it comes to taste combinations than Sailor Jerry. They provide a wide variety of fruit-infused rums, including passion fruit, lime, pineapple, and banana.
