Ang Kuwago (The Owl)


















































here is a tattoo i had made yesterday - courtesy of Jeffrey Guaves of Cadence Tattoo Studio. the original picture was taken by Abet Lagula and this project was 2 years in the making. i remember asking for Abet's permission/blessing sometime in 2011 at a gathering (yun yatang despedida nina Lanie, i'm not sure - hindi na ako best in memory) and he gave me his approval. many thanks also to my cousin Noel Enrique Candelario for the pictures in this post.

why an owl? the owl is a symbol of death and wisdom. 

death is compulsory, but wisdom is optional.

here's the link of the original image taken by Abet:
