badknees for life.

badknees is a small screen printing operation in Bloomington, Indiana run by me, Jim. It started in my basement 2015ish as hobby while I was teaching. It soon became a side hustle, and then it became my full-time venture in 2019. I print words and animals and sometimes a combination of both onto shirts. We print with waterbased ink most of the time. Occasionally we use screen printed transfers and heat apply them onto shirts. Ask us questions if you have them. I have an awesome 3-person team and we will get back to you in a very timely manner. Unless it's the weekend. We try to not answer questions on the weekend.
