RTP long sleeve by A Design Lab
Introducing the RTP Long Sleeve by A Design Lab, a collaborative garment that brings the artistry of Red Point Tattoo out of the studio and into the streets of London. This isn't just merchandise; it is a statement piece designed for those who appreciate the intersection of traditional tattoo culture, Japanese iconography, and contemporary streetwear.
At £40.00, this piece offers premium durability and exclusive artwork, making it an essential addition to any alternative wardrobe.
A Collaboration of Craftsmanship
At Red Point Tattoo, we believe that art shouldn't be confined to skin. We have partnered with the visionary creatives at @a_design_lab to produce a garment that reflects our studio’s core identity.
The design ethos is built on three pillars: Innovation, Red Point, and Tradition. These words, printed boldly on the garment, are not just a slogan; they are the mantra that guides our needlework every day at our Penton Street studio. Whether you are a long-time client or a fan of graphic design, this long sleeve allows you to carry a piece of that creative spirit with you.
The Design: A Closer Look
The RTP Long Sleeve features a dual-print placement that ensures the garment looks striking from every angle.
The Front: Japanese Minimalism
The chest features the signature RPT logo, accompanied by "Red Point" written in Japanese Katakana. This subtle detail pays homage to the deep influence of Japanese tattoo history (Irezumi) on our work. It is clean, minimalist, and perfectly positioned to be visible even when wearing an open jacket or flannel.
The Back: The 3 Lucky Charms
Turn the shirt around, and you are met with the centerpiece of the collaboration: the 3 Lucky Charms. In tattoo culture, talismans and charms are often inked to bring protection, good fortune, and prosperity to the wearer.
Top Script: "Tattoo" and "London" anchor the piece in our geographical roots.
Bottom Script: "Innovation, Red Point, Tradition" frames the artwork.
The Artwork: A custom illustration by @a_design_lab that blends bold lines with intricate shading, mimicking the depth and contrast of a healed tattoo.
