Filipino Sun and Stars tattoo

May 3, 2008 - 6,796 views

Filipino Sun and Stars tattoo may be common but they look good. Especially in all black. I like the placement. It goes well with his Baybayin tattoo.

For those that don’t know the meaning of the Philippine sun and stars, here it is:

The 8 rays represent the “First” 8 provinces that rebelled against Spain. They were Batangas, Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna, Manila, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga, and Tarlac. Although, there probably should be a 9th ray for the Moro mutiny at Calaganan. Why leave our Muslim brothers out? The 3 stars represent Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.

My first tattoo was [when I was] twenty-one. It was a gecko. Dito lang [sa right arm]. That was my first,” he recounts. Billy then points to the one on his left arm, which is a map of the Philippines superimposed over a sun and surrounded by Alibata characters. The multi-talented star explains that the Alibata characters mean “Isang buhay, maraming pangarap.

Too bad they don’t have a photo of the gecko. Looks interesting.
