Since moving to Philadelphia about a year and a half ago, Raylo has been busy. An acquaintance asked if she knew of available venue space for a concert; Raylo offered hers up. No Face Studios is a printshop and DIY venue space where Raylo puts on shows of a genres for all kinds of people on the regular. When she isn't silkscreening booth signs for the Philly Tattoo Convention or hosting thrash metal at her venue space, she is studying as a tattoo apprentice. During our conversation, we touched on what it's like to work with skin, the lessons she learned after hosting her first show, and how playing rugby in college taught her how to abide by a code of ethics and morals that she still follows today.
