Why are people downing Ed Hardy? Hardy’s the nicest, most respectful person you’d ever want to meet. Licensing his artwork for the Ed Hardy clothing line is a way to make tattoo culture more prevalent. Or should we keep it to bikers, criminals and servicemen as it was in the 60’s? When Ed Hardy started tattooing, there were about 500 people doing it. Now there’s over 50,000. Many people owe their lifestyle and fame to what Hardy helped build, to the rise of the modern tattoo culture. A $62 shirt is not expensive, look at some italian designers with $200 t-shirts. When you buy Ed Hardy, you wear art. The art has an intrinsic value and a history. When you buy Gucci, you buy a logo. Hardy’s a scholar-level historian on Asian art and the first American ever to be “let into” the Japanese tattoo world. Give your props to the most important man in tattoo, who is also the humblest man I’ve ever met. If you don’t want to buy a tee, don’t.

With all due respect to Don Ed.Hardy, Christian Audigier charges out the ying for an inferior product. The shirt quality sux!!! Secondly he helped desecrate Kenny Howard a.k.a. Von Dutch’s good name by selling stuff that would have made Dutch cringe in horror. Then he moved on to the Don Hardy $62.00 shirt ( Mens Basic T ) and hats in the $55.00 range. Don Ed.Hardy can make a deal with Christian Audigier which is fine, if you really want to plunk down that kinda coin. No self respecting biker or hot rodder would buy that stuff. Now if your interested in the real deal on Kenny Howard and some real Von Dutch stuff visit http://anticonformity.stores.yahoo.net/realvondutch.html
Everything you will find here is done with the blessings of the Howard Family in co-operation with
BOB BURNS. Hope my opinion doesn’t step on to many toes, because I do love Ed Hardy’s tattoos and art. Just food for thought. Speaking of food don’t eat to much over the holidays, or what the hell do what ya want!!! Happy Holidays. p.s. I’m saving my money for a Cyril Huze springer instead of buying these over priced Ed shirts. A much wiser use of money.
