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.
