Filipino Stars and Straps
December 22, 2008 by Christian · Leave a Comment
I’ve always disliked the Filipino Stars and Straps shirts. It’s an easy imitation. of In my opinion, they are unoriginal and are along the lines of the Adobo Adidas, The Ninong, and other gag shirts. Sure, they are cute and funny but it’s half-baked “Filipino Pride”. Sure, they are not meant to promote culture, and I get that but some are under the delusion that they do. There are better Filipino Shirts out there.
However……..I must admit that this big Filipino back tattoo from Angela looks great! Yup! I’m a hypocrite, but I can afford it.

Cindy from San Diego sends in her photo of RE-YE-S (modified Baybayin) I designed for her about a month ago. Even though the brush strokes are thin, you can see the details. The tattoo artist did a great job. Click here to see how a thick brush stoke looks like.

Baybayin tattoo creator
June 18, 2008 by Christian · 5 Comments
One of the major reasons why people hesitate getting a tattoo is not knowing how it will look like. To help you get a better idea how a Baybayin tattoo might look like on your body, I create the Baybayin tattoo creator. View the screencast to see how it works….
Here’s how to use it:
1) Select the body part you want to put Baybayin on 2) Drag the characters over the photo
*You can also drag the photos below. Whant to find out what the characters mean? I purposely left out character translations so that you could learn Baybayin.
*I wouldn’t use the Baybayin images below as you may have a the same tattoo as someone else. Get a custom design instead.
*More body parts coming soon. Questions? Suggestions? Leave a comment
