INKTRADA Tacloban Tattoo Convention 2011

Off from work just to join the tattoo competition, we arrived at Tacloban's astrodome past 11:00 am which was too early for the 2pm-7pm designated time for the compe. I felt very relax at the venue since the dome is located near the sea. The convention was my second time I have attended as an exposure to the industry where my craftsmanship belong. A passion in which I can freely express myself. In a given of 5 hours, most of us completed each piece of design within 3-4 hours. The category of the competition was Black and Grey with a minimum dimensions of 5" x 8". This is my second portrait tattoo done in my year of tattooing.

Bob Marley

Me and my model

Arianne Lim (Organizer), Ding Fernandez (Philippine Tattoo Artist Guild - Vice President), my model and me.

Fruits of my hardwork :)

I am the first loser of the said event. My warm appreciation to those who made the event a successful one and to my fellow artists who participated this event...KUDOS to us all! Let us continue in supporting our local tattoo artists.

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).
