Nagbukalan Shrine
March 15, 2010 by Poty
This tattoo of Jon from NJ was based on the Nagbukalan Shrine of Alitagtag, where his mom is from. His friend took that idea and tried to give it a futuristic feel. Its a dedication to his heritage and beliefs. When linked with his tattoo on his left arm (a crest/shield) the overall meaning is one of protection and action for himself and loved ones, to do what he need to in order to do whats best for those he care for the most. In a sense, it is like his sword and shield.

Hello Kitty is a fictional character produced by the Japanese company Sanrio, first designed by Ikuko Shimizu. She is a staple of the kawaii segment of Japanese popular culture.The character is portrayed as a female white Japanese bobtail cat with a red bow and no drawn mouth.
This cute tattoo of Julie from San Diego is what she called “Pinay Kitty”. Know why? Because it is obviously Hello Kitty with Philippine Sun as the ribbon. Plus the color of the ribbon is red, yellow and blue which is the color of the Philippine flag.
The Rosary

The Rosary was popularized by Alan de la Roche (1428-1475), a Breton Dominican with a great reputation for sanctity. He propagated devotion to the Virgin’s Psalter in northern France and in Flanders, organizing Rosary Confraternities everywhere for all people, who were avid for indulgences in a period of war, famine and schism, eager “to be preserved from sudden death and the assaults of the devil”.
This one is a rosary tat of Kaycee Galinato from LA. As you can see the tat is pretty well located at the back of her ears. This one is done by Zebra.

Creed is a brief authoritative formula of religious belief, a set of fundamental beliefs and a guiding principle.
According to Josielyn of Cebu, the tat located on his back is an “Apostles Creed”.
Legend has it that the Apostles wrote the “Apostle Creed” on the tenth day after Christ’s ascension into heaven.
However, each of the doctrines found in the creed can be traced to statements current in the apostolic period. The earliest written version of the creed is perhaps the Interrogatory Creed of Hippolytus (ca. A.D. 215). The current form is first found in the writings of Caesarius of Arles.
Pinoy by Birth and by Choice

A wonderful 3 stars and a sun in tribal style is what Marcuz from Indonesia had for us. This tat is on a backdrop of Filipino tribal that was delicately made by Bert of Bertmark in Market-Market Taguig.
Marcuz mean that he is born Filipino and will still choose to be a Filipino. This is a heart melting attitude of him.
