Personalized Custom Birth Year Face Shirt with Your Photos or Name – Bootleg Rap Tee

You’ve joked about wanting a shirt with my face on it.

Here it is, done properly: a personalized custom bootleg rap tee with your birth year or first name across the top in chrome, a crackle of lightning around the edges, and a collage of your own selfies in the middle.

Most people buy it for themselves, usually right before a big birthday.

Type your birth year

Name or birth year: which should go on top?

The listing photos say CUSTOM, which is only a placeholder. Here’s how the common choices read once printed:

Whatever you type prints exactly that way, so short headlines stay biggest.

The look

Chrome lettering with a beveled edge, lightning bolts sparking off both sides in the same color, and stacked photos of one person filling the center.

The five samples show women in magenta, teal, a neon purple-to-teal blend, hot pink and ice blue, out of 15 design colors. Every photo on the listing is a stand-in until your own replace them. Close-ups plus one full-length picture give the layout a strong middle.

Good for

Most people buy this one for themselves, usually a couple of weeks before a big birthday like 30, 40 or 50. They’ve joked for years about wanting a shirt with their own face on it and decided the milestone is the excuse.

How to personalize your custom rap tee

1. Garment and size: tee, long sleeve, crewneck or hoodie.
2. Colors: a shirt color and one of the 15 chrome-and-lightning colors.
3. Photos: upload 3 to 8 of the same person, mostly close-ups with one full-length shot.
4. Headline: type the birth year or name exactly as it should print.

Why a birth year shirt never has to say birthday

• Milestone birthday shirts all repeat the same pun in the same glitter font
• Birthday weekend outfits get planned and still look generic
• Selfies from your favorite decade sit on an old phone

A big birthday is the one day nobody can call wearing your own face too much. Your birth year or first name, like 1996 or DANI, sits in beveled chrome with lightning sparking off both sides, over a stacked collage of your own selfies.

Finished example: crewneck, size M, design color 13, six selfies, headline 1996. Your pictures replace every sample photo.

What it’s printed on

The T-shirt is a Comfort Colors 1717, garment-dyed and made of 6.1 oz ring-spun cotton, relaxed unisex, S to 4XL. If your birthday lands in winter, the retro 90s sweatshirt option is the Comfort Colors 1566 crewneck, 80/20 fleece in S to 3XL.

The 1567 hoodie runs S to 2XL with a jersey-lined hood and pouch pocket. On fleece, true size means relaxed; size up one or two for oversized. Check the sizing chart first.

A long-sleeve take is the Comfort Colors 6014, S to 3XL. The same selfie collage also prints on the Comfort Colors 9018 youth tee, XS to XL, and the Rabbit Skins 3326 toddler hoodie, 2T to 5/6T.

When it ships

Each shirt is printed in 1 to 3 business days after ordering and delivered by USPS in 3 to 5 business days with tracking. Plan for about 4 to 8 business days, as dates aren’t guaranteed, and leave room before the party. Our shipping page has the details.
