Justin sends in the finished product of Baybayin artwork I did for him.

This is just the beginning of a piece that will be dedicated to my family and my Filipino Canadian background.  Next part will be in done in two weeks – Philippine Sun, Stars and Maple Leaves will be added to complete a half sleeve. On the inner bicep is the Australian Southern Cross dedicated to my Aussie wife.

JR sends in a photo of his modified Philippine Stars tattoo.

I always wanted my own take on the RP flag with the stars and everything, but everytime i thought about it i wanted it to be different from everyone else. aleks really helped me figure out something original but a replica in the same sense.  So i got 3 custom stars, first pic is arm out palm up – pinoy / pics 2-4 are bituin going clockwise. Pinoystarr was a nick name i had… i thinking you can guess how it was derived.

Baybayin traditional transliterations are PI-NO (Pinoy) and BI-TU-I (Bituin)
