Own an authentic piece of early American tattoo history with this original
flash sheet by the late, great Tennessee Dave James - a beautiful example of
early American Tattooing.
Tennessee Dave, a contemporary of Sailor Jerry Collins, Bob Shaw, Paul Rogers,
and many other tattoo greats, was an iconic figure in modern tattoo history.
Dave tattooed back at the Pike in the early,Bert Grimm days, and later had a
shop right in the middle of Skid Row in downtown Los Angeles, California. It
was a rough neighborhood, and Dave was alway packin’. His distinctive
old-school tattoo flash painting style has served as an inspiration to
generations of world-class tattooists. This piece with its vibrant colors and
crisp line work is in pristine condition and looks as if it was painted
yesterday - despite being over half a century old.
Painted in the mid 1990s, this one-of-a-kind original flash sheet by one of
tattoo history's important old school pioneers comes from the collection of
world famous tattoo artist, Jonathan Shaw. It is part of the renowned archives
of classic tattoo artwork featured in Shaw's ongoing book series Vintage Tattoo
Flash published on Powerhouse Books.
It measures aprox. 11" x 14" and comes with a hand-written Certificate of
Authenticity from Shaw, upon request.
