I dont often like to talk about my tattoos. For some it can be a sensitive subject. For me it's something fun and personal. Anyway, kim asked me to share about one of my recent tattoos I had done while we were in Spain.
For a while I have been a huge fan of Ghospatrols work. He is a Melbourne based artist and I got one of his drawings tattooed on my ribs last time I was in Melbourne (you can find it here). For a while I have wanted to get a custom piece drawn by him and before leaving for france I asked him for his take on an old fable by french 16th century poet, La Fontaine, Le corbeau et le renard (if you dont know it you can read it here). When we arrived in the south of france there was a package waiting from Ghostpatrol filled with prints, stickers, his latest book and the fox drawing. I had the same artist who did my last tattoo in melbourne do the new one in his studio in Valencia. It's one of my favourite tattoos and an old favourite fable. One of our favourite bands turned this fable into a song which I highly recomend watching here.

Valencia

Well this morning we are packing up and on the move again, as we leave Valencia and head to Barcelona. We have had a great few days here. Valencia is such a beautiful city and nice and small so you can walk or ride bike and get around very easy. We have seen the old city ruins, the big cathedral, the beautiful markets, rode bikes along the beach front, strolled through the park, admired all the street art and spent time with our favourite tattoo artist Sento.








Throughout all our travels we have been using airbnb for bits of our accommodation, and these past few days we have been staying with a couple of great hosts. Last night they took us out to a couple of amazing tapas bars and had us finally go to bed at the regular Spanish bedtime. 2-3am! This trip we have stayed in a variety of accommodations, but staying with a couple of young locals has been super fun.

Look who made it onto Ghostpatrol's blog, my handsome husband morgan!



morgan got his tattoo of a ghostpatrol design done at Chapel Tattoo on our trip to Melbourne in February earlier this year. The Tattoo Artist was Sento Puros, an amazingly talented guy from Spain who was touring the world and happened to be in Melbourne when we were down.

If you are ever in Spain and want to get a tattoo, definitely try and track Sento down. I'm gonna try get a piece done by him one day. Just gotta decide what.... Maybe I could get a piece by ghostpatrol too??
