			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I came across this &#8220;Alibata&#8221; tattoo of &#8220;Sister&#8221; in the <a href="http://www.bmeink.com/absolute_tattoo001.html" target="_blank">BMEInk gallery</a>. The person probably went to an online Baybayin / Alibata any typed in &#8220;Sister&#8221; choosing original Baybayin. The result would be SI-TE as you see in the photo below. They might have thought that it was also a language translation as well.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="imageframe imgaligncenter" src="http://images.pinoytattoos.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/sister.jpg" alt="sister Sister in Baybayin = SI TI?" width="604" height="453" title="Sister in Baybayin = SI TI?" /></p>
<p>A couple problems with this 1) There&#8217;s a Tagalog translation of sister (Kapatid or Ate), why not use that? 2) Sister could also be phonetically translated but would need to use modern Baybayin.</p>
<p>Below is a Kapatid (KA-PA-TI) and Ate (A-TE) in Baybayin.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="imageframe imgaligncenter" src="http://images.pinoytattoos.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/kapatid-ate.png" alt="kapatid ate Sister in Baybayin = SI TI?" width="500" height="367" title="Sister in Baybayin = SI TI?" /></p>
<p><span id="more-109"></span><br />
Here&#8217;s sister (SI-S-TE-R) phonetically:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="imageframe imgaligncenter" src="http://images.pinoytattoos.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/sister-baybayin.jpg" alt="sister baybayin Sister in Baybayin = SI TI?" width="421" height="207" title="Sister in Baybayin = SI TI?" /></p>
<p>This is a classic example getting a Baybayin tattoo without the proper research or consultation. The fonts were obviously downloaded from the internet and translated using an online program. The end result is a tattoo that doesn&#8217;t make sense language wise or culturally. Unfortunately, I see issues like these rising due to the popularity of Baybayin tattoos.</p>
