While the most popular season to get a tattoo is in the spring and summer, you should get it during the cold months so that there’s minimum sunlight expose. You will also have time to full heal by the time the warm weather comes to show it off.
Here’s a sample design I did For Cessy from Florida. Inked at Tattoos Forever. Maganda in traditional Baybayin with Philippine Sun and Stars.

Body piercing and tattooing to be regulated in the Philippines?
October 9, 2008 by Christian · 1 Comment
A pending house bill looks to regulate body piercing and tattooing in the Philippines. The measure requires persons who wish to engage in body piercing or tattooing to first obtain a permit from the Department of Health. I wonder how much the permit will cost?
Under the bill, any one who performs body piercing or tattooing without a permit from the department of health shall suffer the penalty of imprisonment of arresto mayor (one month and one day to six months) or a fine ranging from P50,000 to P100,000 or both at the discretion of the court.
Those who operate body piercing studios or tattoo studios without a permit shall be punished with a penalty of prision correccional (six months and one day to six years) or a fine ranging from P100,000 to P200,000 or both at the discretion of the court.
The penalties shall be imposed in the maximum if the violation results in the death of the patient, insanity or psychological damage of the patient and permanent physical disfigurement or disability of the patient.
Psychological damage? How will they measure that? I don’t like my tattoo and it caused me psychological issues! I actually agree with the measure. Philippine Tattoo Artists Guild (PTAG) members are required to undergo seminars by the Department of Health.
Malakas neck tattoo

Lorial from NYC uploaded a photo of her malakas Baybayin neck tattoo.
The background behind the tat is; the first one i got was the strength character in Chinese.
one i am not too proud of since i learned that it is a common tat – but it is what it is. i wanted
to keep with the theme and thought that the Baybayin translation spoke to the struggle i have had
being adopted from the Philippines and raised by a white American family. much of the pain has
been my disconnect from my birth culture and practically non existent knowledge of the tongue.
Filipino Playboy model – Kat Longa

Here are some photos of Baybayin designs I did for Filipino Playboy model, Kat Longa. On her neck is Maganda (beautiful), Nanay (mother), and Anak na babae (daughter).
Kat also wanted to see how the tattoo would look, so I added the Baybayin scripts over a photo she sent in.
Her wrist says Ate (big sister).
