Our Story

Worn by artists. Built for the culture.

Born From the Needle

Tattoo95 Gifts & Apparel didn't start in a boardroom — it started in a tattoo studio. As a tattoo artist, Nikki Thompson (owner of Nikki's Tattoo Studio) spent years surrounded by incredible art, bold expression, and a community unlike any other. But when she looked for clothing and accessories that truly reflected that world, she kept coming up empty. Generic designs. Watered-down aesthetics. Nothing that felt real.

So she made her own.

The Design Philosophy

Every piece in the Tattoo95 Gifts & Apparel collection is rooted in the traditions and artistry of tattoo culture — from classic American traditional flash to dark, intricate blackwork. We don't do subtle. We do bold, intentional, and unapologetically expressive. Our designs are made for people who wear their identity on their sleeve — literally and figuratively.

Each graphic is crafted with the same passion and precision that goes into a tattoo. Because to us, what you wear is just another canvas.

Quality You Can Feel

We use a print-on-demand model, which means every item is made fresh — just for you. No mass-produced warehouse stock. No cutting corners. Each order is printed on high-quality blanks using premium inks that hold their vibrancy wash after wash. We believe the gear you rep should be as durable and striking as the art that inspires it.

For the Community

Tattoo95 Gifts & Apparel is more than a brand — it's a love letter to the tattoo community. Whether you're a collector, an artist, or someone who simply lives by the culture, this is your space. We're here to celebrate the art, the people, and the lifestyle that make this world so damn special.

Thank you for being part of it. Now go wear something bold.

"I've been a professional tattoo artist since 1992 and have spent more than 30 years creating original artwork. Art is in my blood and Tattoo95 Gifts & Apparel is where I bring my art beyond the tattoo studio, transforming it into distinctive apparel, gifts, home décor, and unique products for people who appreciate tattoo culture, artistic expression, and individuality.

Every design you see at Tattoo95 Gifts & Apparel begins with my original artwork and I personally create, refine and edit every piece of art. Each item reflects my creative vision and artistic style developed throughout more than three decades as a tattoo artist, as well as my passion for art since a child. While some pieces may be inspired by artistic themes and imagery explored throughout my tattoo career, no client-specific tattoos, commissioned artwork, or custom tattoo designs are ever reproduced or sold as merchandise.

Every product is an original creation designed exclusively for the Tattoo95 Gifts & Apparel collection."
