I read you could iron the t-shirt inside out to make it permanent but that was using fabric paint. Anyone ever tried regular acrylic paints?

I think you can because whenever I painted with acrylic I used my shirt (that I wore to paint) to clean the brush (I know, bad habit).
The shirt has been washed after the paint dried and the colours are still there as I put them on.
Once acrylic dries it won't wash out despite being water based. The water in it evaporates leaving the 'plastic' pigment behind bonded to the canvas or shirt.
The wonderful thing about art is the experimentation with it.
Try it on one of your own beat up t-shirts and see what happens after it dries.
I would only suggest not to apply the paint too thickly because that may be able to be peeled off sort of.

I once made a skeleton hand stencil and painted it onto a black t-shirt using just regular white acrylic.. Actually I got it from the dollar store. I have washed it twice and so far it seems to be fine.
I would say go for it. Just make sure it's a shirt you don't care too much about at first.

You certainly can. I use acrylic paint frequently on t-shirts. It will not wash off in the wash because it locks into the fabric weave. However if you are concerned, you can mix it with (fabric medium). Fabric paint themself are acrylic with the exception of fabric dye based paints.

I didn't know for sure but Brown Eyes suggestion sounds good. I know that acrylic paint is water based so it would just wash off unless it was mixed with something. Good Luck!

if you get some fabric paint and mix it 50/50 with the acrylic it wil make the acrylic fabric paint... i've done it, it works.

As # a million states...and that i will paraphrase. you may,,, yet will possibly be disappointed. unquestionably there are different formulations you need to use on your imaginitive theory, even reveal print ink, whether you're able to be constrained by skill of budget. Evene reveal Print ink gets battered and degraded by skill of positioned on and laundering.
