Born in 1945 in the US, Ed Hardy is a tutelary figure of tattooing. His career, his work and his commitment to the medium make him one of the historic names of the modern and contemporary tattoo. He was interested in tattooing at a very young age: at 10, fascinated by a piece worn by a family friend, he went to the legendary Bert Grimm’s studio to watch him work. Back home he opens his own “tattoo studio” and reproduces with a pencil on his friends the most emblematic flashes of his first master. Although he will ultimately learn to tattoo by himself with a sewing needle, he will then abandon the tattooing, his young age being too great of an obstacle. Read more.
