Pinay Kitty

Poty — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 07:28:39 +0000

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

Poty — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 14:02:30 +0000

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.

Human Power

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.

The Center of the Sun

Poty — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 05:04:46 +0000

At the center of this 3 stars and a sun tattoo are the names Corella and Masangkay. Two people who love and promised to love each other, I guess.

3 stars and a sun not only binds Filipinos, island to island, but also people who found happiness in each other.

This one is from Andrew of New York with Tony Styles as the artist.

Wear it with Pride

Pinoy pride, Shane Chinnock (the bearer) is half-Aussie and half-Filipino. He is a navy from his land. He decided to have this tattoo so he wouldn’t forget his heritage and the values that his Filipina mother brought him up with.

He wear this tattoo in his forearm with a big pride. Actually Shane, you made us proud of you too. Your mother had brought you up very well.

Strength & Divinity

Poty — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 06:10:00 +0000

Truly an art! This tattoo is composed of dragon wrapping a cross.

Dragon symbolizes power, strength and strong will. On the other hand, cross symbolizes divinity, religion and spirituality.

Combining, we can say that Karding Satwa of Dubai is a strong Filipino that strongly believed in Almighty God. He can do all things through Christ who gives him strength.

My Love for the Philippines

Poty — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 05:14:01 +0000

Levin Salonga of Milwaukee, WI sent this to us to show his love for the Philippines. He said his heart will always be filled with love for his country even if he’s in States most of his life.

This is not unusual scenario for most of the Filipinos living in abroad. I remember a Filipino song with a lyrics “San ka man mapunta..babalik ka rin..babalik ka rin.” That’s exactly the point! Wherever you are in the globe, your heart will still find its one true home.
