Melbourne Rites of Passage Convention and other news...

So as the title suggests, we have recently been to the Rites of Passage Festival in Melbourne. We had an awesome time (ummmm, I think I say that a lot). We met some really great people and got to watch some of our favorite tattooers work, which is always sweet. I'm just gonna post some pics of our trip because I can't really think of what to write now, haha. I am getting writers Blog (Block).

The beautiful Royal Exhibition Building.

The first thing to do when you get to Melbourne, big breakfast at an awesome cafe

Our home for the weekend, although we didn't spend much time in it :P

Little freehand Hannya and Matt Deverson 4 Terry James?? Should I be worried?
Massive knee Chrysanthemum (didn't finish so no pics, sorry) 
Peeps are representing!! And they look so handsome doing it
Shige working late, everyone as gone home and he is still hard at it! I could still watch him tattoo all day! 

Working hard.... ok maybe not hard but he is working a little
Booth munchies. "The Sandwich"- Snickers cookies, peanut butter, Nutella and Caramello Koala. Sounds good, tastes good, didn't feel too good after though

Matt pretending to help me pack up
And what will go down as the classiest after party ever! Sorry for the grainy photo. But seriously most swanky bar I've ever been to. Thanks again to Crystal and Owen for all the organizing!
