From award-winning filmmaker Emiko Omori (Rabbit in the Moon), this feature documentary is a retrospective of the man behind the $500-million-a-year merchandise empire. It spans Hardy’s beatnik days as an art student in San Francisco, years of tattooing in military ports, tattooing in Japan, and on to his return to an artist’s life in Hawaii and San Francisco. It is an empire built out of his passion.
Through extended interviews with Hardy himself and a treasure trove of archival photos, the early days of back-alley tattoos – and the sailors and carnies who were the nascent art form’s primary aficionados – come to life. Hardy shares his vast knowledge of art history and his influences, from hot rod cars cruising through his hometown of Newport Beach, CA, to famous tattooists such as Sailor Jerry Collins and Phil Sparrow, icons of the tattoo world who introduced him to the business.
