The UK tattoo-clothing scene covers everything from traditional flash to darker gothic illustration and punk crossover. This is not a league table. Each label below has a different visual language, production model and price point, so the useful question is which one fits your taste.
Hobo Jack
Founded in 2014 by brothers Dan and Jimmy, Hobo Jack grew from printing T-shirts in a garage into a large independent, family-run operation. Tattoo culture and travel are central to the brand, and its current range leans heavily on artist-created graphics and in-house production.
Bad Monday Apparel
Bad Monday was established in 2017 as a self-funded project from Mark's garage. The brand was built around tattoo culture while deliberately mixing in other art influences, with accessible graphic tees and hoodies at the centre of the range.
Doomsday Co
Doomsday Co started in Bridgend, South Wales in 2012 around a love of traditional tattoo art. The brand moved production in-house in 2016 and continues to combine tattoo-artist collaborations with printing and embroidery from South Wales.
La Mort Clothing
La Mort is a family-run UK label focused on occult, gothic and macabre artwork. Its designs are created by hand in the La Mort studio, with the business based in Guildford, Surrey and garments printed in the UK.
Lost World Clothing
Founded in 2014 and based in Hereford, Lost World works with independent artists from around the world. Garments are printed, packed and shipped from its Hereford studio, with tattoo-inspired graphics forming a large part of the range.
Death & Friends
Death & Friends sits closer to the punk and underground end of the spectrum, mixing tattoo culture with skate, bar and service-industry references, cult TV and lowbrow humour.
Original Renegade
That's us. Original Renegade is a small independent print house in Worcestershire making original graphic streetwear in-house. The range sits between traditional tattoo flash, blackwork and darker gothcore graphics, with clothing and original art produced in smaller runs.
If you want to judge it on the work rather than the description, start with the Tattoo Graphic Tees or the Tattoo Flash Prints.
Which brand should you start with?
For classic tattoo-led streetwear, Hobo Jack, Bad Monday and Doomsday Co are established reference points. For darker occult artwork, La Mort is the clearer fit. Lost World offers a wider artist-collaboration model, while Death & Friends pushes further into punk and service-industry culture. Original Renegade sits between the tattoo and darker graphic ends of the market, with the artwork and printing kept in-house.
