Based in Southern California, Tattoo Golf has golf apparel and accessories with a bit of an attitude. Inspired by tattoo designs and current fashion trends, founder Bill Anderson decided that it was time to do something besides the traditional golf attire one day after a round. Initially starting online from his Burbank home about seven years ago, the company is now carried in select pro shops around the country and has an online store. You can almost guarantee to see the Bill and partner Greg Shaw at a booth for the Southern California golf shows a few times a year as well. Oh yeah, and Bill’s about a ten handicapper and serious about his game.

The label is targeting “a young-minded golfer who is dissatisfied with the golf clothing that’s found out in the market today. They are looking for something fun, different, and a bit edgy to set themselves apart from the crowd. They probably don’t buy much, if any, golf apparel in pro shops or golf stores because it’s not their thing.” And no, you don’t need tattoos to wear the line. I’ve seen golfers with and without ink that wear their clothes. The demographic for the line is mainly men and women 25-45 that want something different in their golf attire.

Besides golf shirts they carry tees, sweatshirts, tanks, covers, balls, hats, and other accessories. There are styles for both men and women and they come out with new designs regularly. The men’s argyle design has been their most popular golf shirt so far. If you really like their look, you can pick up one of their golf value packs that come with a variety of products. They also carry Alias Golf Shoes on their site, which tout a “no break-in period”.

I recently tried their new “La Jolla” golf shirt for women in orange when I was playing in the desert. Even though it was about 105°F outside, the shirt never got sticky or felt cumbersome. After the round, I wasn’t wet and cold when walking into the heavily air conditioned buildings. Other than moisture wicking, the shirt has an antibacterial finish and can go right into the washing machine and dryer. My husband wore the men’s “Santa Cruz” and was equally comfortable. This design also features moisture-wicking fabric and is lightweight. We both have hats, tees, and divot tools from Tattoo Golf with their signature skull and crossclubs design as well. I’ve got their driver cover in black also, which fits up to a 460cc head and matches my bag quite nicely. This driver cover has the magnetic closure so the club slips in and out with ease.

Take a look at their website and sign up for the newsletter while you’re there and check out the “Shots in the Rough” section. Fans of Tattoo Golf send in pictures of themselves wearing the clothes and of their golf-themed tattoos. If you’re looking for an alternative to the norm, this is your clothing line.
