Firstly I want to thank you enough for loving one of our pieces enough to get it tattooed! If you would like to get our work tattooed I would ask that you buy a print from us first, not only dose this support me as the artist but it also means that you will have the best quality image to give the tattoo artist to use as reference! I would also ask that you send in an image of the finished tattoo (if you feel comfortable) we love seeing how you choose to display and style our work and tattoos are no exception.

Here at R.C.battle designs we take great care in packaging our items to ensure that they arrive in pristine condition, and also try to be as eco-conscious as possible with our packaging. as such the majority of our packaging comes from recycled and reused materials, most of our packaging comes from cardboard boxes that we cut down to safely sandwich our artwork in-between to prevent damage in transit, and for our more fragile items we reuse bubble wrap that we have received in delivery’s to our home and studio. Any plastic based packaging we use to send out items, has never been purchased new from us and is on at least its second life, and we encourage our collators to reuse the paging again where possible.

To find your size take a flexible tape measure and measure around your chest in inches, (if you only have a tape measure with centermeters devide the number by 2.54 to get the measurment in inches) Find the style bellow, and the measurment that best matches your chest measurment Please note that the measurements given are for body measurements not the measurements for the actual t-shirts.

As our tops and hoodies have been digitally printed if they are treated correctly the colours will not fade if washed correctly Turn your shirts inside out and wash on a cool setting of 40 degrees or less. Iron on reverse (cool). Do not tumble-dry. Wash Dark colours separately

That is certainly a possibility, if you have one of our top designs in mind that you would like printing on a different colour T-shirt feel free to drop us a message and we will see what we can do and we can discus colour options and any changes that we may need to make to the artwork to get it to print on a different colour top.

A Giclée print (pronounced Gee-clay) is often known as an archival print. These prints are reproduction prints and are not classified as original pieces of art. (Although they can be worked on top of to create original art work. ) A giclée print is a fine art digital printing technique using high quality pigment onto archival acid-free paper using high end ink jet printers. Unlike printing from a normal home use printer tests have shown that giclée prints can last over 200 years with out fading (providing they are not placed in direct sunlight) The printers that we use are members of the Fine Art trade Guild, meaning you can be assured that the artwork is printed to the highest quality (at times we find the prints can look better than the original!) A lino print on the other hand is considered an original piece of artwork, this a relief printmaking technique created from a block of lino. To create the print, a design is drawn or transferred on to a block of lino, and then the negative non-printed aria is carved away using a verity of calving tools leaving the positive printed aria raised. Once carved the block is inked using a brayer (roller), and pressed onto paper either by hand or using a printing press this transfers the inked image in mirrored form onto the paper. I print everything by hand. Due to the nature of the printing process: the amount of ink applied to the block, and the amount of pressure applied while printing each print can come out slightly differently, as such each print is considered an original piece of artwork and not a reproduction (like with giclée prints) and this combined with the amount of time it takes to create a print from carving through to printing proses is why the cost of lino prints will be more than that of a giclée print. Both printing techniques create beautiful pieces of art.

For Lino Prints we can unfortunately only print in the size of the carved block. For Giclee prints we can certainly print in different sizes, please get in contact with this size you have in mind. Each piece of work will have a different maximum size that we can print too, where we are able to preserve the detail of the artwork before it becomes pixelated. For prints of custom sizes we work with our printers to ensure the same high quality is preserved. To save on time and to keep costs down for the customer the prints are dispatched directly from the printers.For Lino Prints we can unfortunately only print in the size of the carved block.
