Let’s clear the air real quick. Ed Hardy is one of the godfathers of modern tattooing and he learned from the best, Sailor Jerry. Christian Audigier, on the other hand, is a big douche. He whored out Kenny Howard aka Von Dutch (even though the guy was a drunk and racist) and now he’s done the same with Ed Hardy over the last few years.
I can’t really blame Hardy for wanting to make a little cash from royalties now that he isn’t tattooing anymore, but enough is enough. I hate Christian Audigier with a passion and hate him even more because he’s douched out Ed Hardy and his name. Now everyone thinks Ed Hardy, the actual person, is a big douchebag, when in reality, his original tattoo flash has just been converted into shit like these dumb USB keychains. I’d bet a month’s paycheck that 99 percent of the douches wearing Ed Hardy clothes don’t even know who he is. Boycott everything and anything that Christian Audigier touches.
Fun fact: my tattoo artist Igor Mortis worked under Hardy at Tattoo City in San Francisco. He’s good. How good? I fly back to Portland anytime I have a hankering for more.
Not going to lie, I yawned at another anti-Ed Hardy rant, but I was pleasantly surprised by the facts and knowledge presented.
Well done.

Isn’t that you on the right?
We’re going to have some words later, Amanda.
there should be a law against ed hardy, spray tan, and gelled up hair, and tilted trucker hats.
Sentence? 25 years of salad tossing followed by the Death Penalty.
The guy on the right is clearly Jon from Jon & Kate plus eight
For someone whose the godfather of tattooing – I’d expect him to have at least one.
Peter that is you in the pic!!
That is not me, Paul!
Peter,
Why are you making that face and doing that with your hand (on the right)?
I don’t remember. I was drunk off this.
Now Peter and Paul stop arguing (see above comment (if that even needed to be said)). The funny part about this article is the DB’s who wear Ed Hardy most likely don’t know what a USB drive is.
This is also true.
*shivers*
This Christian guy must be stopped. Did you read his bio?

It reads like he is god’s gift to earth. *runs to shower*
Oh dear god, he also licenses air fresheners. King of the Douchebags, claimer of making the trucker hat famous, please…please go away.
