Hello, we are Leo and Aleja (25- 24 years old) we are an artistic couple.
We are tattoo artists making our way trough around the world with some ink, lovers of good music and great food. Colombia is a beautiful country and we feel really passionate about it. We want to share that passion with adventurous souls who want to discover the many wonders it has to offer. We're both plastic artists so most of the time we are drawing, wood and linocut carving, painting murals when posible and of course tattooing, if you happen to be looking for some ink, look no further.

At home we work and research about bio construction and permaculture, as well as we look for inspiration for our art and renew our energy in contact with nature. We also enjoy the company of wild horses.

we believe the exchange of culture is one of humankind's greatest joy.
We're looking for kin souls, that are marveled with life, the world and every living being in it. People that are willing to open their minds and hearts.

Aleja cooks and loves to talk about it and share it (is her greatest passion in live ) We eat about everything , eager to discover new recipes and share the ones we know

If you are interested in knowing more about the art we make or the project we are running back in Colombia can always have a look to our page @joytattootrip

Music, Movies, and Books

Pink floyd and the beatles are religion to us.
We also love jazz, rock, metal, trival music, ranchera, tango, balads, and we're open to anything really because everything is based on the beatles. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏼‍♀️
also really enjoy electronic music
We love Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli productions, we have a weakness for animated movies. But also weird stuff is very welcome.
Also fight club, and the likes of it.

Its not about books but the people who write them, we thank Michael Ende, Tolkien, Carrol, Lewis and Rowling for the magic and Martin, Verne, Borges, Asimov and Gabo for the fiction, we admire Hesse, Kant, Nietzsche, Martin Gonzales, Gaartner, Wittgenstein, and so many more for their wisdom . We admire the will to fight in Simone De Beauvoir, Cervantes, Unamuno and every voice that screams in the face of oppression.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Life is amazing!
