autos cars Los Angeles Times Smart Fortwo Ed Hardy Christian Audigier Project Tattoo coupe convertible Venice Beach Yep, it’s a Smart Fortwo with tattoos. This car has just been unveiled in Las Vegas by a Los Angeles company. The inking was created by French fashion designer Christian Audigier, the man behind the Ed Hardy brand. Called Project Tattoo, it has seven layers of exterior paint, piano black interior accents, leather seats with a hand-stitched tattoo theme, plus a full complement of high-end, high-wattage sound and navigation equipment.

Only 100 examples will be made, available in black or white, with each one numbered and signed by Audigier. The coupe model goes for $37,000 and the convertible version sells for $40,000. But any interested parties should move fast, Project Tattoo is almost sold out (click here for the website and contact details). And it would fit so well in Venice Beach.
