You snagged a Bad Karma Co tee. Good. That raw graphic, that soft cotton – it’s a statement. Whether you’re rocking the Thanks for the line tee or the unapologetic Go F*ck Yourself Tee, you bought it because it screams. But statements fade if you treat ’em like trash. We’re talking about keeping your tattoo-inspired graphic tees looking as sharp as the day you ripped it out of the package, not some faded relic from a forgotten basement show.
Featured Bad Karma Co pieces
Our tees are built tough. We use 100% ring-spun cotton for that soft, comfy feel, and double stitching on the neckline and sleeves for durability. But even the toughest gear needs a little respect. Don’t f*ck it up.
Stop F*cking Up Your Wash Cycle
Cold Water, Inside Out. Period.
Your graphic tees aren’t delicate flowers, but hot water and harsh detergents? That’s how you kill a vibe. Before it hits the machine, turn that shit inside out. Protect the print. Cold water, always. It locks in the color, keeps the cotton tight, and stops your Just Buried Tee from looking like it’s been through a war.
Ditch the Bleach, Embrace the Dark Side
Bleach is for sanitizing hospital floors, not your alt apparel. It’ll obliterate your graphics and mess up the cotton. Stick to dark-friendly detergents. Keep your colors vibrant, not bleached out.
Drying Without Destruction
Air Dry or Low Heat. No Exceptions.
The dryer is a graphic tee’s worst enemy. That high heat warps the print, shrinks the cotton, and generally makes your fresh tee look like a sad, shrunken ghost of its former self. Hang dry that shit. If you’re desperate and need it ASAP, tumble dry on the lowest possible heat setting. Your Thanks for the line tee deserves better than a shrunken, cracked graphic.
Ironing? Only If You Must.
If you absolutely gotta iron out a wrinkle, turn the tee inside out. Never, ever put a hot iron directly on the graphic. You’ll melt it, and then you’ll just have a sad, sticky mess. If you don’t want to ruin your art, keep the heat away from the ink.
Store It Right, Look Tight.
Don’t just ball it up and toss it in a corner. Fold your graphic tees. Hanging can stretch out the neck and shoulders over time, especially with soft cotton. Keep ’em flat, keep ’em fresh. Treat your collection like the art it is.
Look, these aren’t rocket science rules. They’re just common sense for anyone who respects their threads. Bad Karma Co tees are built tough, with double stitching and quality cotton, but even the toughest gear needs a little respect to stay looking fresh, not f*cked. Now go forth, keep your ink sharp, and your canvas clean. And maybe grab another tee while you’re at it. Your wardrobe could use more attitude.
