Yin-Yang Tattoos - Alex Carter

In the shadowed alleys of modern China, Alex Carter inherits more than a tattoo parlor-he inherits a legacy of balancing life and death. As the last master of Yin-Yang Tattoos, Alex wields ink that can grant fortunes or summon nightmares. But when desperate clients seek his forbidden art, each design becomes a pact with the supernatural:

. A grieving professor consumes her lover's corpse to bind his soul, igniting a Buddhist ring's deadly judgment (The Ananda Buddha Ring)

. A fitness star's hunger for fame unleashes a devouring spirit that livestreams her demise (The Tattoo that Devours)

. Real estate brokers who desecrate sacred land find their bodies hollowed by earth's vengeful guardians (The Hollowed Earth)

From the ghost-infested gambling dens to the Nine Dragons Coffin dragging souls to damnation, Alex navigates a world where every tattoo demands a price in blood. As his mother's life hangs on his earnings, he must decide: Is he a healer of souls... or a dealer in damned fates?
