karding_dragonTruly an art! This tattoo is composed of dragon wrapping a cross.

Dragon symbolizes power, strength and strong will. On the other hand, cross symbolizes divinity, religion and spirituality.

Combining, we can say that Karding Satwa of Dubai is a strong Filipino that strongly believed in Almighty God. He can do all things through Christ who gives him strength.

Filipino tribal tattoo and cross

Here a great shoulder tattoo sent in by RPB from LA. It’s done by the tatak ng apat na alon tribe. What I find interesting is the mixture of “Filipino” tribal and Christianity. Some may say that it shows the confusion of many Filipinos in regards to their culture. While trying to discover and represent our “roots”, we are still living in the colonial mindset. It’s an interesting paradox.
