Filipino Sun and Stars tattoo

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.
