Not that I know of. It came up in a tattoo forum, I noticed that it was related to Vancouver so I posted it here

I'm sure someone can dig something up ;)

Hah I doubt anyone who wears those shirts realizes he started in Vancouver. He didn't start using the name "Ed Hardy" until later. That's kind of why I found this pic so interesting.

[3xta]

wow.. he actually started in vancouver?

[winson604]

I'm not entirely convinced that's Van but will try to dig some info

[Durrann1984]

Oops horrible wording. What I meant was I'm not entirely convinced that that Tattoo shop is a Ed Hardy shop.

It is. Well technically it was an Ed Talbot shop, as he was known then.
