You should have backed Transverse!
Hell ya! I love tie dying.

My favorite place for supplies: http://www.grateful-dyes.com/ (Don't pay attention to the shipping cost/read the disclaimer, actual shipping cost ends up being about a 1/3 of the shipping cost at checkout.)

Ice dying is my personal favorite look.

Another technique and one that seems to get the most compliments on are black shirts that I'll tie one way, squirt with a bunch of bleach, let the bleach sit for a couple of minutes and then rinse the hell out of it to stop the bleaching. Soak it in soda ash. Tie the shirt again and dye it traditionally.

Someone mentioned using syringes to dye. Pipettes (https://smile.amazon.com/KINGLAKE-Transfer-Pipettes-Essential-Graduated/dp/B00WLIQHQ0) work really well. Mix the colors in mason jars and apply the colors with the pipettes. Depending on how often you dye, if you use the larger mason jars, the pipettes can be sealed inside the jar for the next use.
