Honoring My Filipino Culture
September 9, 2009 by Poty · Leave a Comment
After thinking what she wants for her third tattoo, Joyce Noreen Aznar-Brigdman of Alaska finally decided to honor her Filipino culture.
The designs are 3 Stars and a Sun with Plumeria flowers or “kalachuche” in Philippines and Sampaguita flowers. She turned the regular stars into nautical stars and colored it with each colors of Philippine flag. She added the “kalachuche” flower because it reminds her of her grandmother’s house in Bohol. Sampaguita flowers are also included because it is the national flower of the Philippines.

“I wanted to get a tattoo that symbolized the day my partner came into my life. So with her being Filipino I thought what would be better than getting her name in Baybayin . The writing says, “Maye Dianne ” . and the rainbow butterfly symbolizes re-birth, the day she came into my life was the day i came back to life!
