Christian Audigier has translated the tattoo designs of Don Ed Hardy, the famous California artist into a line of clothing for men and women who want to wear a tattoo without going under the needle. Featuring designs of mermaids, peacocks, snakes and butterflies, this line of Ed Hardy shirts brings the fantasy themes of body art to life. Don Ed Hardy is well-known around the world for his incredible technique and outstanding creativity.

Don Ed Hardy began his career as a tattoo artist after receiving his B.F.A. degree in printmaking from the San Francisco Art Institute in 1967. He lived in Japan to study with a traditional tattoo master in the 70s and 80s.

Don Ed Hardy's ability to experiment through 40 years of tattooing experience has earned him the moniker of "the Godfather of the Modern Tattoo." In his use of art histories from the cultures such as; Cholo, American and Japanese he has shown a rare talent and creativity for combing these icons with designs associated with hotrod, surfing and tattoo cultures. The result of his perspective is a uniquely blended expression that has made him famous in the tattoo community.

In 2002 Hardy signed a license agreement with Ku USA, Inc. to produce a line of clothing based on his art and in less than two years, major clothing companies where showing interest in his designs.

In 2004, Christian Audigier took interest in Don Ed Hardy's use of fantasy images in tattoo body art themes such as "Love Kills Slowly" and "Death Before Dishonor." As a result Audigier and Hardy reached an agreement that gave Audigier exclusive rights to use his designs as the "Ed Hardy" brand. The clothing focuses on lifestyle couture and street culture.

Born in Avignon, France, fashion designer Christian Audigier now lives in Los Angeles. Audigier is called "The King of Jeans" from his success as a designer for apparel manufacturers such as; "Fiorucci," "Levi's," "Diesel" and "American Outfitters." Before creating the Ed Hardy brand, Audigier was the Head Designer at Von Dutch Originals, famous for the legendary Kustom Kulture imagery of artist Von Dutch which became a top fashion item for many celebrities around the world.

Part of Audigier success is due to his charisma and close affinity to the entertainment world lifestyle which has inspired many of his groundbreaking ideas in promotion including marketing directly to celebrity clients.
