My Dad’s Tattoos are Cooler than Yours – DIY cool baby clothes

Learn how to DIY cool baby clothes – here’s how to make an awesome onesie for a baby with a tattooed dad.

Baby clothes just aren’t edgy enough.

There are plenty of clothes with cute puppies & flowers (or now unicorns and llamas), but there are very few onesies that allow a mini-me to coordinate with their tattooed, “I only wear black t-shirts” parent.

The first thing that my husband bought our first (still unborn) baby was a Metallica onesie and a plaid golf hat.

I made the first version of this shirt in 2011 when J1 was a baby. It’s been handed down through all of the J’s and is too small for J4 now. She wore it at a birthday party, and the birthday girl’s dad commented on it. He also has tattoos so I quickly offered to make his kids matching ones.

I made the original by using the freezer paper stencil method. This was years ago before personal cutting machines existed, but it’s still a great way to make personalized clothes.

My fourth baby wearing the original onesie. It’s been worn, washed, and dried through four different children and has held up very well.

The two I recently made used HTV (Heat Transfer Vinyl) that was cut on a Cricut Maker. After removing the excess material (the material around the letters), I simply ironed it onto the shirts. Super easy!
