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.

Opening Up To What He Missed

Poty — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 06:00:37 +0000

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.
