Description

This 217-page book was made at the request of Don Ed Hardy, featuring flash gifted to him by legend Pinky Yun. Pinky's influence on tattooing extends far beyond his own work—his designs and mentorship shaped generations of artists who continue to honor his legacy. The inclusion of the famed Sailor Jerry back piece designs alone makes this volume essential, while the contributions from contemporary masters demonstrate Pinky's lasting impact. This extremely comprehensive volume combines historical preservation with living tribute, documenting both the original flash and how Pinky's vision continues to inspire today's finest artists. We are proud to offer this essential piece of tattoo history.
