"Hardy was born in 1945 in Corona del Mar, Newport Beach, California. He attended the San Francisco Art Institute and graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in printmaking. Through his association with Sailor Jerry, Hardy was able to study tattooing in Japan in 1973 with the Japanese classical tattoo master, Horihide.He became recognized for incorporating Japanese tattoo aesthetic and technique into his American style work"

While it has been overdone, Ed Hardy designs have their own "heritage"

Hmmm... "judging" interesting point but I'm not sure how doing drugs at work, smoking in public and driving drunk has a correlation to wearing a particular type of clothing...:idk: Those are the things that I have come out against.

Ed Hardy and similar overly-styled gear = "I dont want to show up at happy hour in my work attire, because I don't have very much personality as it is, so that would make me look like a nerd. So I'm gonna change into some clothing that has "personality". Never mind that I don't know anything about Ed Hardy's heritage.........Hey, the design looks cool, so it helps make me cool. Oh yeah, don't forget the beanie too (even though it's 80 degrees out)."

I'm not "against" Pit Bulls...the argument was that they don't attack and do major damage more than other breeds... The numbers say they do... look everyone has a right to like or dislike whatever they want. I doubt that I said that all pit bull owners are assholes/douches /etc... I routinely Garner criticism for the brand bike I ride, my gf 's age, the gear I wear, etc. I still respect everyone's right to their opinion without degrading them for it.

Wrong "fool"! The Ed Hardy designs are based on classic tattoos going back hundreds/thousands of years. Open up your mind fruit cup and quit going by what your other fashion hating homo self loathing friends say. You've probably never even seen True Religion, Silver, Versace, or Ed Hardy in real life. You're just going with the anti-fashion flow... which is even "douchier" imho! "What every else hates Ed Hardy? Well then I hate his clothes too!" It's stupid...:idk:

BTW cupcake I owned a Kenny Roberts RZ350 back in the day and he was one of my heroes growing up so talk what you know. Heck, I even got to shake his hand in Daytona once during Bike Week. I was the original Yamaha fan boy and have owned 11 of their bikes before I switched to Suzuki. I didn't just jump on their jock when they became popular... So talk what you know.
