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.

Who We Print Custom Garments For

Our garment printing for tattoo studios and barbershops is ideal for:

Brands and businesses looking to build branded apparel
Artists and illustrators turning their work into wearable merch
Events and promotions teams needing bold, fast turnaround printing
Streetwear and fashion labels building a premium clothing line
Cafes, breweries and bars wanting staff uniforms or branded merch
Tattoo studios and barbershops looking for custom apparel that reflects their identity

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.

Skateboard GB

Paris 2024 Olympic Boards

We hand-screened these seven-colour graphics on eco-friendly HLC decks in anticipation of skateboarding's second-ever Olympic Games. These boards were featured in an ad on TikTok for the games.

Samsung

Drop in with Samsung

We supplied custom decks for Samsung’s 25 hour pop up skatepark at BAYSIXTY6 in West London. The event marked the launch of the Galaxy S25 with Skateboard GB and EE, promoting better accessibility and connectivity.

Paris Saint-Germain F.C.

Clown Skateboard Collab Decks

We produced custom skateboards for the PSG x Clown Skateboard Doha capsule collection. Featuring calligraffiti by Fatima Al Sharshani, the boards were showcased at Fire Station in Doha during Qatar Creates Week 2023.
