Someone suggested that the proper term would have been un blouson noir, but the translation I found it with substituted 'punk' and I'm not sure what other English term could really fit, so punk it is in the title.

Wikipedia translates blouson noir with greasers, a subculture influenced by rock'n roll which was also present (with local variations) in other countries, e.g. Halbstarke in Germany or Raggare in the Nordics.

Very strange seeing a mohican from 1961. No idea what they would have been called. My Mohawk was vintage 1988. :)

"Nice! Time to go and get this permanently inked so my kids can live off the proceeds of selling my tanned skull-skin after my demise."

...I kid, of course. No proper punk would do something so mercantile. Ink yes, sell no.

I feel like having your skin and/or head removed when you're dead is pretty punk rock though

Sure - for a free public exhibition (and as a bonus, it'd be metal too), but there's nothing punk about being transactional about it.

Using the money to finance a charitable cause or fighting capitalism in some way would be pretty punk rock.

I agree that just taking the money as profit would not be punk rock at all though.
