Aloha Monkey done at by
The “Aloha Monkey” legend started in downtown Honolulu’s, Chinatown district at the one and only, Sailor Jerry’s China Sea Tattoo!
THE STORY:
Romeo was a monkey that Jerry brought back from his adventures in Asia as a merchant marine, much like many other sailors that followed the trend of the times where they’d find exotic animals and bring them back as pets. Romeo was known for mooning his clients and a number of other antics. Jerry and one of his partners decided that Romeo’s greeting “moons” needed a little flare. So in true Jerry fashion, he tattooed “AL” and “HA” on either side of Romeo’s butt to greet the customers with his “ALOHA.”
