ABOUT SAD STAMPS

Flash printing

Come get your clothing tattooed by hand by Sadie from Sad the Shop. (And by “tattooed”, we mean “stamped”, and by stamped we mean “hand-carved-hand-stamped-right-in-front-of-you”). Bring your own clothing or choose from a selection of pre-loved clothing, totes, and patches to get it customized with Sadie’s artwork.

HOW FLASH PRINTING WORKS:

  • Pick your design from the flash sheet of hand-carved stamps

  • Pick your material: BYOC, pre-loved garments, or patch

  • Print right there in front of you

  • Follow care instructions for ink curing

  • Admire your new one-of-a-kind piece

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

BYOC:

Bring your own PRE-WASHED NATURAL-FIBER-BASED CLOTHING. Some stretch is okay, but overly textured items don’t print well. I will be printing in black ink only, so keep that in mind when choosing colors.

Examples of fabrics that work well: cotton tees, linen, flat canvas totes, denim.

PRE-LOVED MAGIC:

Patches, totes, and clothing items are almost all entirely secondhand, so each piece is limited and unique to you. I believe in giving new life to items where we can. Each item is printed by hand.

CARE AND WEAR:

You will leave with care instructions for your garment. It’s important that you follow these instructions to ensure the life of your print.
