JONATHAN SHAW · 02/03

Fun City Tattoo

En los años setenta, Jonathan Shaw empezó a tatuar en un sótano del Bowery, en Manhattan, cuando el tatuaje todavía estaba prohibido en Nueva York. Ese fue el origen de Fun City Tattoo, que años después se trasladaría a MacDougal Street y, en 1989, a St. Mark’s Place, en pleno East Village.

Por el estudio pasaron músicos, cineastas y artistas como Iggy Pop, Jim Jarmusch y Johnny Depp. Con Depp, Shaw construyó una amistad que iba mucho más allá de la tinta. Según contó el propio Shaw, el actor ya lo llamaba «Captain Jack The Pirate» años antes de interpretar a Jack Sparrow.

La imagen que abre esta publicación pertenece a Scab Vendor, el documental sobre la vida de Jonathan Shaw. En él aparecen imágenes de su amistad con Johnny Depp, incluido el momento en que el actor le tatúa en el brazo las siglas «OCJ», de Old Captain Jack.

En la segunda imagen aparece Fun City Tattoo, uno de los lugares emblemáticos de aquella escena neoyorquina en la que el tatuaje todavía se movía en la clandestinidad. Nueva York no volvería a legalizarlo hasta 1997.

Had an amazing interview with the legendary Jonathan Shaw. No one's lived a life like this, we talked about growing up in Los Angeles around celebrities and musicians like Jim Morrison, Jimmy Page, the MK ultra, the Manson Family, tattooing in New York City when it was illegal, meeting and tattooing Johnny Depp, and much much more. Go by his books and listen to this interview! #jonathanshaw #tattooing #mansonfamily #scabvendor #johnnydepp by @jonathanshawworks
