Affiliated Ink was founded in 2005 by Justin Waters with the idea of connectedness, expressing the importance of being affiliated. Coming from a diverse background, it became Justin's mission to create artwork that would appeal to a wide range of individuals. The t-shirt collection depicts a variety of themes, ideas and direction, the goal being to provide something for everyone. It is the vision of Affiliated Ink to fully encompass liberty, and to not follow the trend, but to encourage everyone to express themselves in a manner of their own choosing. Liberty: The right and power to act, believe, or express oneself in a manner of one's own choosing.
