[Iwar]

Found another great Hardy backpiece on an old computer I haven't used for ages

Since we are posting Hardy backs, this one is from the panther tattoo thread:

Watched Tattoo Nation recently. What a great doc. Loved every minute of it.

[Dennis]

Done by Ed in 1979! GOD DAMN!!!!!!!

[ohcraigo]

I loved getting tattoed by Ed Hardy! He is so knowledgeable, talented, and just all around cool guy!

Any piece I have seen has really stood the test of tome and still looks fantastic.

Thats a fella named Don Pugsley.

He was in the Rocketeer. One of the few heavily tattooed actors back in the day that wasn't always showing their tattoos, playing bikers or convicts...

stumbled across this little gem... Ed Hardy roast. Scott Harrison kills it.

[Avery Taylor]

@Hands On Thanks for posting this I had no idea that there was a video of it. Scott Harrison is the smartest and funniest person I have met in tattooing. Dan Gilsdorf runs a very close second. I don't know for sure, but I have heard that Ed was pretty upset with Scott after the roast.

Grez was telling me about that last weekend and was saying it was very close to being announced. It's going to be awesome.

[suburbanxcore]

So, in looking ahead at the calendar, I realized my May app at KA was while Grez will be at Blue Arms in Norway, so I had to reschedule. I was lucky enough to reschedule it for the weekend of the Ed Hardy show, so now I'll definitely be up for that. Stoked.

[stevet]

Amazing stuff. I need to get over and visit tattoo city soon.

[abees]

Looks like Ed Hardy is going to be at the London convention again this year!

Kings Ave put tickets for his speaking events up on their website today. Not sure if they're sold out or not, but worth looking into.

I'm passing on the lectures but am thinking about making the trip to check out the art show part of the weekend and maybe get a walk-in from some hardy flash. still waiting to hear more details on that though.

[suburbanxcore]

Yeah, I don't think I'm doing the lectures either for a few reasons, but I'm getting tattooed that Saturday at 12:30 with Grez anyway. I'll definitely be checking out the art stuff and book signings or whatever.

[Marwin3000]

Guys, I'm looking at different Ed Hardy books but I have no idea wich are any good. I could need some pointers!

[abees]

@Marwin3000 Tattooing The Invisible Man is my favourite, but the most expensive. It focuses on his life and works - 1955-99.

Beyond Skin is about paintings, drawings, prints, flash, etc. And Wear Your Dreams is his memoir.

All definitely worth getting.

[Iwar]

@Marwin3000 I bought Tattooing the Invisible Man last year, and it's mindblowing to say the least. Well worth the 8-900 kroner it will cost you to get it shipped to Norway. Books are exempt from import taxes too, but you probably knew that already.

[suburbanxcore]

Is anyone going to be around on the 17th for this? Hangs?
