My boss has a neverending supply of Ed Hardy/Christian Audigier shirts. He also drives his "lambo" (lamborghini) to and from work each day. He also has no tattoos, but "has designed some" for friends. He also doesn't know anything about the actual Ed Hardy. At first, I thought, "Oh, maybe not a douchebag indicat––– oh.. yeah. Yeah, it is. Always. Without fail."

Those words alone almost gave me a headache!
While we're on the subject, has anyone here ever met someone who was surprised to hear from you that Ed Hardy is a real person? I've had this happen once or twice, when people have asked if I like the t shirts, and I say I like him and his artwork instead. I thought even people well outside of tattooing would have known he was at least a real person!

Why do you need a subscription when you have this site...not sure if srs....or just noob.

you could add almost anything to it, and it won't really change the look! i mean unless you get like a hot pink care bear, that might take away from the eagle...

Why do people ask these questions after getting tattooed???? Ask before putting permanent ink into your body!

hahaha in Florida we call it a miami body suit.. dudes with no tattoos except hands and neck...
way to make yourself unemployable and look like a total chode!
i plan on waiting until my art career is a little more secure and i know i won't have to work retail on the side anymore to do the tops of my hands and fingers... plus i still have a ton of room on my legs including both knees and a lot of thigh space

i wear ed hardy, because i like to party

I'd rather see 500 Ed hardy things a day then one affliction or skin t shirt. And if you think Ireland is overloaded try America where you can't walk into any convenience store without seeing about 5 different items with Ed hardy on it.

Or just go to the hardy marks publishing website they have lots of amazing books. Just google it

i didn't think of mentioning the soles of my feet but as with MsRad i will not be getting those done! although i will get my palms done.. didn't mention nether regions either cause i thought it was a given but now that i think about it there are lots of people with dick/vag tattoos around... i'll get my ass cheeks done but not like into the crack/hole area hahahaha

Greg Irons ships are some of the best in my opinion .Although this beautifully simple piece by Tokyo Hiro may just take the cake for me .

If you drink a bottle of JD you may get the chance to read it.

not sure if anyone has said this yet but here's what i've learned from some people who know what's up. i've tried it so has my man and it WORKS. it's mostly for larger work
when you get home soak it in the hottest bath you can handle for a while
re-wrap BEFORE it dries completely
leave the bandage on overnight
in the morning wash it very well with soapy water, it might hurt a little but keep rubbing it untill all the gooey shit and blood and ink comes off
let it air dry and then care for it like you normally would with lotion or whatever you like.
i find when you do this the scabbing is much more minimal and the healing time is a lot quicker. the people who told us about this said it's how the japanese heal their large scale work

super cute!!!!
here's some reallllly cute dog clothes... i'm a little biased cause it's my cousin's company but it is really really cute http://www.etsy.com/shop/RoverDog

My buddy Falkner, who owns FADE FAST in Texas had nine bars tattooed on his arm, each getting either 0, 1, 2, etc sessions with his laser to show the progress of removal.

That was with his old laser- he's upgraded since then, but it gives a basic idea on what's possible.
He also tends to hook tattooers up with free appointments, though that's recently been taken advantage of. (someone made a fake business card!)

I've had 3 sessions of lasering done on a large portion of my lower leg (about half of it), and have had great results. I go to Allan Faulkner (fade fast @ suffer city in Dallas), and because of his professionalism and knowledge would never want to get hit by someone else. After 3 sessions pretty much all the black is pretty sparce, and most of the color is pretty light as well. I've always iced it after the session is done (which feels awesome!) comfortably for the first 24hrs, and because my last session was in the middle of a road trip he hooked me up with some "Humatrx" (a microclysmic gel for treatment of tissue trauma) which was pretty nice. It kept it feeling a bit cooler for the first couple days. I've never had itching, but the 3rd session did cause blistering, which wasn't really a big deal. I just took a safety pin rubbed with alcohol and drained the bigger ones (as per a doctors recommendation). I have never been able to get out there more than once every 6 months (and he recommends longer between sessions is better, and def not sooner than 6weeks). I've also discussed the cover up, and been told waiting at least 6 months is necessary. It's a wonderful tool to aid cover ups! but, it is definitely very very painful.

ursula, would you pay $500 and then get an awesome foot tattoo over it?
