can i tie die a black shirt with bleach spots on it?

can I tie die a cotton t-shirt that was black but now has bleach spots on it? I tried putting it in bleach water hoping I would get a brown shirt but the bleach spots are still there

If your shirt is cotton or other fabric that can be bleached, I think you would have to remove the color from the fabric first, then tie dye it. Buy some color removal and follow the directions on the package. It may not come out completely white, but it should be light enough to tie dye. I am not an experienced tie dyer, but I imagine there are lots of directions on the internet and in various books on the subject. Good Luck!
