Audigier welcomed massification with open arms. his “signature” line really pulled the trigger, though...but i guess you can’t blame the guy: he’s in love with himself (just listen/watch how he pronounces his own last name). he won his own popularity contest – was crowned homecoming king…but everyone knows his queen is a dirty, dirty whore.

Much respect due to the tattooist, but God damnit seeing people rock it everywhere I go just drives me nuts. From children, to young people, to even moms and dads, I can't wait till this style just dies out. Thank you so much, I fucking hate Ed Hardy.
