I have lots of freebies here on the blog in a similar style (like my Tattoo Mom Heart SVG or my Maker Tattoo Printables), plus I have a bunch of similar designs available in my cut file shop.

The “Make Waves” Mermaid is one of my faves that has a similar vibe:

Cute, right? Anyway! Wanna get that free Salty Mermaid cut file? I thought this new design would be kind of perfect on a tie dyed tee shirt. What do you think?

Cut the design from your heat transfer vinyl, and don’t forget to mirror your design!
