Sailor Sid Diller

From BME Encyclopedia

A regular of Doug Malloy's (pre-Gauntlet) "T&P Parties," Sailor Sid Diller was both a tattoo artist and a piercer.

Famous for his extensive genital piercings (over 100 in the penis and scrotum) Sid worked exclusively on gay men, mainly from his "Silver Anchor" studio in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, USA.

He was an avid documentarian, both in 35mm pictures and 8mm film, as well as a tireless letter writer with friends all over the world, including Jack Yount, with whom he developed a working relationship in the mid 1980's.
