ClintonStitch Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Awesome!! I loved when he showed off the tattoos on his arms. "These are rare" :) It was interesting to hear Ed speak of the whole clothing line craze too. I enjoyed that but the guy interviewing him was a moron, if you're going to interview one of the most influential Tattooer's of the modern age surely you'd do a bit of research beforehand? hogg 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/4074-the-ed-hardy-thread/?page=2#findComment-75562 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironchef Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Hardy's talk on the black panther tattoo at 2013 Bay Area Tattoo Convention. Kudos to the production team that made this. kimkong, cibo, suburbanxcore and 13 others 16 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/4074-the-ed-hardy-thread/?page=2#findComment-79079 Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadsp0t Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I believe his book will be next on my list... Usually don't go for these types of books, but I'm interested in being educated beyond common knowledge about tattoos, and artists, particularly those that changed the game.. I'm far more interested in the history lesson then parts about the clothing but I get that it's a package deal. Good shit.. tatB 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/4074-the-ed-hardy-thread/?page=2#findComment-79100 Share on other sites More sharing options...
heathenist Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Posting in this thread. Ugh, it's bumming me out that I have a bunch of reading to do, otherwise I'd be watching all of these videos now. Just rewatched Tattoo the World over the course of a couple of nights before going to sleep, so now I'm in the mood for more things Ed Hardy. tatB 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/4074-the-ed-hardy-thread/?page=2#findComment-79163 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tatB Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Ed mentioned this briefly in the panther seminar video: Is it true that he didn't get the ink in as well as other tattooers? The only aged example of his work I've seen is the boobie/gorilla/rose on Chad Koeplinger's leg and that still looks bold, bright and beautiful, but that is only about 10-15 years old. Did his early work (from the 70s, 80s, and early 90s) have a reputation for fading fast or was he just being a humble with his comment?

If you read the front flap of the book it sounds like the book is going to be as much about Ed Hardy the brand as it is about the tattooer, but the clothing stuff is covered in a chapter. The rest of it is about art, tattooing, and his life. It's a really good read.

If we don't run long, maybe I can pick it up. That's a good head up too! Thanks!

This picture posted Jill Bonny on her Instagram-profile 36 weeks ago. The man on the left is the same person you can spot in Ed Hardy's Tattoo Time - Music & Sea Tattoos. The back is from 1980 and still looks absolutely amazing.
