Portrait and Yin Yang Tattoo

John Lennon
This tattoo was done during the tattoo competition held in CAP auditorium in Jones Ave., Cebu City. My first competition and first portrait tattoo attempt in the Beginner's category. A John Lennon tattoo which I think the reference is not his familiar photo that somehow many saw it like an old Harry Potter. Yet, the result in his skin is not that bad though and I love the washes of witch hazel. Just a few sessions for a portrait and I know, someday, I can make it better.

Yin Yang
A yin yang tattoo of a common friend symbolizing the life (woman) and death (skeleton with a scythe).
