PinasTruly, you can do anything for the love of thee. Ric Richard B. Liclican of Dumsville said that he love Philippines..his country..his homeland. We can witness this through his tattoo with the word “Pilipinas” and 2 Philippine sun as the designs.

Being proud of his country is also another way of saying that he is proud of himself and his race. If you really love your country then show it..be proud and be bold!

lamar-2Christopher of Linda Vista had this tattoo that means “Knowing Your Roots”.  The images on his tattoo basically means his homeland. You can see the Philippine map, Philippine 3 Stars and a Sun and the Earth.

This tattoo also means that even if he is in other country, nothing beats his homeland.

But Christopher has a real meaning for his tattoo..” It’s not what you know, but where you come from.”
