The message of this tattoo is so simple unlike what you can see on the entire tat. Guess what? This simply means “HOPE”. Yes it is! Filipinos are full of hope that’s why we still managed to smile in our greatest fall.
This one is from Jai of Cebu City, Philippines. The tat is composed of tribal sun in a tribal background.
An amazing art done by Jo Simpelo.

Respect and faithfulness are the two distinguish characteristics of Filipino when it comes to their family. Unlike other Asian countries, there are no booming orphanage in the Philippines for Filipinos love to keep and take care of their own parents or relatives till they grow old.
This also denotes the high respect and love of Edward with his family for his tattoo design showed it. This one is consists of 3 Stars and a Sun with the letters in family design that says his name “Edward Tumanan Tribue”.
Looks great but one character is upside down. Can anyone guess? If your going to get Baybayin tattooed, don’t use an online translator is they don’t know pronunciation and context. Either learn the script or ask someone for help.

Matthew D. of French Camp, California wants to hear your comment about this tattoo design. His friend drew this out for him because he is very very proud that he is a Filipino. Instead of going out with the usual 3 Stars and a Sun they came up with this one. They got creative and Matthew wants to know if you guys liked it too.
