PinoyTattoos.com was featured in the Contra Costa Times today along with Bay Area tattoo artists.
Here’s an excerpt of the article:
Christian Cabuay of Walnut Creek, founder of PinoyTattoos.com, is fluent in a Filipino script called Baybayin. Although he is not a tattoo artist, his artistic skills and in-depth knowledge have made him a go-to guy for one-of-a-kind Baybayin designs suitable for body art.
Baybayin, a writing system used in the pre-Spanish colonized society of the Philippines, uses specific characters for certain sounds as do other Asian languages. It has been popularly referred to as Alibata, but Cabuay says that isn’t the correct term.
Looking for Asian tattoos for newspaper article

I was recently interviewed for a local (San Francisco Bay Area) newspaper regarding Baybayin and “Filipino” tattoos. The writer asked me if I knew anyone who had any Asian tattoos. If you 1) Live in the SF Bay area and 2) Have any Asian tattoos and would like to photographed, please submit a photo and mention “Newspaper feature” in the message section. Thanks!
