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
