This is an unfinished tattoo of Daryl with his version of 3 Stars and a Sun. He promised us that he will share its complete look as soon as it got finished.
These three photos that means ROBLES are from Pinoy Tribal.
This simple letter tattoo also means ROBLES.
These tattoos unveil the richness of Philippine culture. We can see this by the different designs these artist are making. There are still many designs and meaning of tattoos out there. They are not merely decorations of the body but have greater meanings that we should learn and know.
My Tribe…..Philippines

“Proud to be and I’m not hiding it!”, a message from Allan of St. Pete, Florida along with his inspired by virtual game tattoo. His tattoo is a Philippine spaceship with 3 Stars and a Sun. Looking closely, you can see the Philippine Island inside the sun which greatly represents the country.
A very inspiring one especially to those who are virtual gamers. This one will make you think that Filipinos are very competitive and reigning even in the virtual world. And this is also one way of being nationalistic. Nowadays, even a three year old kid knows how to play computer games. We will not be surprised if one day Filipinos are among those whom what we call “Game Masters.” So keep the spirit, represent your country, fight for your country and be proud of it!

If you want to see a Filipino style tattoo, then you have to see this one by Jay-Are Chy of Moreno Valley, Ca. It is literally with “Filipino Style” text and another version of 3 Stars and a Sun. The sun, which is in the center, is composed of the three colors of the Philippine flag (red, blue and white).
Jay-Are has only one meaning for his tattoo and it is “THE FILIPINO PRIDE.” So, just like him, be proud and do the Filipino style around the world.

This tattoo has three symbols. The first one is the “Sampaguita” which is the National Flower of the Philippines. Second is the Philippine 3 Stars and a Sun. And lastly are the words “Family Forever” in Ambigram style.
According to Tyler from Boston, MA, he was adopted out of his Filipino family and he is recently opening up to what he had missed.
There was this song with lyrics “babalik ka din” that pertains to those Filipinos who are in abroad. The message is that no matter how far you are you’ll still be back to your homeland.
Same as what’s happening to Tyler right now. Looking back at your homeland is just as good as saluting proudly to what you really are.

This praying hands is a memorial tattoo of Ed Cruz from London to his nephew. Aside from the hands, he incorporated the 3 stars and a sun to show his pride and love for his country which is the Philippines.
According to him, he is already settled and living abroad for few years now and his tattoo reminds him of his root as well as his beloved nephew.
This only shows that Ed is a very loving Tito and a proud son of “Mother Pearl”.
