“Scab Vendor: The Life and Times of Jonathan Shaw”
“Scab Vendor: The Life and Times of Jonathan Shaw” was presented by Shaw and the film’s directors Mariana Thome and Lucas de Barros at Estação NET Rio 2 on Wednesday, with a final festival screening on Friday at Estação NET Rio 3 at 14.00.
Born with a silver spoon in his mouth, the son of jazz bandleader Artie Shaw and Hollywood starlet Doris Dowling, Jonathan Shaw’s teenage years were marked by rebellion against the glamorous life of his parents and extreme aversion to his mother’s alcoholism. After almost dying of a heroin overdose in his 20s, hitchhiking from Los Angeles to Rio de Janeiro, and learning from the best old-school American tattoo artists, Shaw became the go-to tattoo artist in New York City. His Fun City Tattoo Studio opened in 1993, four years before tattooing was legal in Manhattan.
