With all these gentrified shops and overpriced bars popping up it’s becoming easy to forget that there are real people making movements in South East London.
Rye Lanez are simply a bunch of writers from South East who made the transition from graff, an illegal subculture based on art, to tattooing, a legitimate business run by professionals.
And from watching their video it's obvious that their artwork is nothing short of spectacular.
The crew consist of a good-hearted set of professionals who add their own unique style to each and every tattoo. I myself am covered in art work from pretty much everyone in the shop. They greet you with a smile, make honest suggestions and apply intricate works of art to your skin while having a genuine conversation with you. Tattoo-lovers know that's important.
Located right next to the WG shop, they've hit a niche in an area that doesn't have many certified tattoo shops around. Rye Lanez are rapidly becoming one of the best traditional tattoo shops in South East London.
