I am in my early 20s and absolutely love these patterns! Ed Hardy introduced tattoos to fashion but if you are looking for something like his posters or clothing, you won’t find it in this book. It is more the “tattoos” themselves. The skulls, flowers, little devil, etc.

The colors are great. Amazon does a great book preview and google has a couple more pages. The only complaint I have is that my eyesight is bad and I can’t read all of the symbols. But that is personal preference. It is a great break from the girly patterns I have been doing and I combined them into one large collage pattern. It follows DMC thread and there are quite a bit of patterns to chose from and they always show the finished product.

It is also great if you are looking for something to stitch for friends/boyfriend. My boyfriend loves poker and I have been searching forever for something like “Gambling Man” on the back cover. And I just finished the skull with Hawaiian flowers to cover up a rip in the top of my pants and have received tons of compliments! There is also a skull spider that I stitched onto my workout bag that everyone compliments and can’t believe it is cross stitched!

If you are new to cross stitch this book is perfect for you. If you are an experienced stitcher and want a weekend project, this is for you.
Ed Hardy needs to come out with another one already! It is great and a breath of fresh air for younger stitchers! Kelly R. Foster
