I do wish I still had my 90s vintage NIN shirt. I accidentally bleached it while scrubbing a bathtub, and it made an unintentionally great background for the band logo. It looked like I'd done it on purpose. (The part with the logo was right where my boobs and the edge of the bathtub overlapped, and I don't think I could replicate it again intentionally.)
