Bomb Story: In October of 2011, The Hundreds had the privilege of collaborating with Eric Dressen. Not only was Eric one of Bobby's favorite skaters as a youth, but he became a renowned tattoo artist. As part of our collection, Eric pieced together a flash art sheet of The Hundreds tattoos. There were three different Adams contributed in the traditional tattoo style and they each make their way back onstage in this encyclopedia of Adam Bombs. | Background Story: In the early 2000s, all-over-prints reigned supreme in independent streetwear. The trend was a response to the boring solids and understated color-blocking of the dominant skate and urban market. It also followed the footsteps of Nigo's A Bathing Ape camos. Smaller, T-shirt-based brands like ours tapped into the ancient screen-printing techniques of roller-printing, oversized screens, and belt-printing to execute messy patterns over seams, collars, and hemlines. Of all the all-over-prints The Hundreds was responsible for during this time, Cherries was Ben's least favorite. But Bobby loved the kitschy nature, Americana flair, and the rockabilly/punk connotations.
