Custom Apparel for Tattoo Studios & Barbershops
Apparel That's as Sharp as Your Work
If you run a tattoo studio or barbershop and want merch and uniforms that match the quality and identity of your brand, we're the print partner for you. We produce bold, precisely printed garments for some of the most design-conscious independents in the UK, and we know how much the details matter to you.

At Back & Forth Prints, we have a deep respect for craft-led businesses that take pride in every detail. We specialise in custom garment printing for tattoo studios and barbershops, working with owners and artists who have a strong visual identity and need a print partner who can do it justice.



Why Custom Apparel Works for Studios
& Shops
Your brand is built on trust and visual identity. Here's how the right apparel reinforces both:

Wear Your Brand With Pride
Staff apparel signals professionalism and cohesion. A sharp printed tee or hoodie tells your clients you care about every aspect of the experience, not just the service.
Merch That Sells Itself
Tattoo and barber clients are loyal. Give them something to rep outside the studio and your brand travels with them, turning regulars into walking advocates for your work.
Designed for Design-Led Brands
We understand bold graphics, fine lines, and the importance of faithful reproduction. We print with the precision that design-led businesses demand.

Our Custom Garment Printing Process
Here’s how it works, step by step:
Printing Techniques
Screen Printed Custom Garments
We use custom-built screen printing presses that we designed and engineered ourselves to print directly onto garments on mass. This allows us to apply artwork across the full print area, creating bold, full-coverage graphics that are ideal for branded apparel, retail products, or promotional use.
​
As with all screen printing, there are some limitations to what can be printed, but we work closely with each brand to bring your vision to life and make sure the final result reflects your creative goals.
​
All screen print jobs are quoted individually based on artwork and quantity. Get in touch to discuss your project and we will guide you through the process.

Real Studios. Real Craft
Over the years we've worked with tattoo studios and barbershops who take their visual identity as seriously as their work. Here are a few standout examples that show how great printing can extend a brand beyond the studio.
