"Way back before Christian Audigier got hold of the name and turned it into a synonym for over-the-top, blinged-out machismo (or the punchline to a joke), the name Ed Hardy meant something. The name belonged to?you guessed it, Don Ed Hardy, one of the first "designer" tattoo artists who did a lot to rehabilitate the image of tattoos, way back in the late 1980s." Racked LA checked in with Hardy at a recent book event. More. [Racked LA]
