Iwar Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I don't think we have a thread dedicated to Ed Hardy, so let's use this one to share anything Ed related. If anyone deserves their own thread on here it's gotta be him, right? I spent my evening rewatching some old Hardy interviews, and I even found a couple new ones (to me at least). Here's a few of them. Joel Selvin chats with Ed Hardy about his life in tattoos at Book Soup in Hollywood Interview in conjunction with "the unruly art of Don Ed Hardy" exhibit that was displayed last year Part 1 Part 2 - - - Updated - - - I have more, but there's a 3 videos per post limit, so I'll have to wait untill someone else posts something in here.

Dhopper Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 It may have been months since I been on this forum, but Ed is the G.O.A.T! I am glad I got to meet him back in 2010 at Taki's and Roman's convention.

a1steaks Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 My biggest regret is not getting tattooed by him when I had a chance back in the 90's. Didn't quite have the cash flow. I should have robbed a bank...

SuavecitoMiguelito Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Had the chance to check out tattoo city this past weekend and get tattooed by Doug. Needless to say that shop absolutely floored me. So excited for this thread!

Dennis Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Not much to contribute other than I really enjoyed reading Wear Your Dreams; such a great book! Ed must've influenced more artists than any other tattoo artist in history. Even Horiyoshi III in the last Gypsy Gentleman said that he "wouldn't be the tattooer he is today without Ed Hardy." Incredible! tatB 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/4074-the-ed-hardy-thread/#findComment-72296 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CultExciter Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 My first exposure to Ed Hardy was later than most, but I'm a little younger than the tattooers I look up to, and they are one or two generations behind Ed. I remember buying the Tattoo City portfolio with Bruno, Snodgrass, and Clifton Carter. Those two ape/skull/morph tattoos that Ed showcased in the beginning blew my mind, which was further blown when I was told that those were done without a stencil or drawing. So raw and exciting, and simply brilliant.

TravisGarcia Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Here's a link to the video Stoney Knows How FolkStreams » Stoney Knows How It's primarily Stoney but has Ed Hardly in it and he gets a tatoo. Great video nonetheless.

hogg Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Surely someone here can post a photo of Ed shirtless. I know I've seen one (I believe it was taken at Chicago Tattoo Company a few years back?). I'm reading his memoirs and I'm dying to see his torso piece from Horiyoshi II. gougetheeyes and Iwar 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/4074-the-ed-hardy-thread/#findComment-72702 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is a photo of him getting tattooed, but not a great photo of the tattoo itself. I think the best view of it is in the movie they released last year. He is surfing and you can see it pretty well. hogg 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/4074-the-ed-hardy-thread/#findComment-72775 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's well worth the read. Yeah, this reminded me of a time I had a conversation with a friend's friend. I think she asked me about my tattoos initially and it somehow segued to Hardy. At that point she spewed some trash about Ed Hardy thinking of the clothing. I responded by trying to inform her that he's actually a great artist, a legend in the tattoo world, and a great influence on people despite what feelings there are towards the clothing design. Also that it was Audigier who she should probably be disgusted with. In her elitist arrogance, her look at me turned to disgust and saw me as a huge douche for even trying to say anything positive about the name "Ed Hardy". That pretty much ended the conversation and we happily went our separate ways. I might not necessarily be a fan of the stereotypes wearing the clothes but I'm far less interested in the people too elitist to have an open mind and who trash others they know nothing about. hogg, Wilhell, SStu and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/4074-the-ed-hardy-thread/#findComment-73639 Share on other sites More sharing options...
