While receiving a B.F.A. in printmaking, he also learned the art of tattooing, and continued with that, going on to Japan in 1973 to learn the Japanese tattoo techniques. His work has been influenced ever since.
Ed Hardy is much more than a tattoo artist, he is a fine artist, an author of over 20books on alternative art as well as a printmaker.
Now comes the part we care about....in 2004 he launched a major fashion line appropriately called, "Ed Hardy" featuring his artwork. From that, shoes, t-shirts and even bikini's have hit the market with his fabulous designs. Although he is probably best known for his prints on t-shirts, hooded sweatshirts and trucker hats, he has also branched out into string bikini's

These sexy red patent leather heels called the The Sky shoe has gold trim on the heel and around the sole of the shoe. Every side of this shoe has style. Even the inside of the heel and the entire sole of the shoe is painted with the classic Ed Hardy design. And to show off your rocker side, the back of the heel has a picture of a skull with the inscription Love Kills Slowly. With all these details, these shoes can be the star of an outfit.
