Filipino Stars and Straps
December 22, 2008 by Christian · Leave a Comment
I’ve always disliked the Filipino Stars and Straps shirts. It’s an easy imitation. of In my opinion, they are unoriginal and are along the lines of the Adobo Adidas, The Ninong, and other gag shirts. Sure, they are cute and funny but it’s half-baked “Filipino Pride”. Sure, they are not meant to promote culture, and I get that but some are under the delusion that they do. There are better Filipino Shirts out there.
However……..I must admit that this big Filipino back tattoo from Angela looks great! Yup! I’m a hypocrite, but I can afford it.

Cece showing off her ambigram tattoo. An ambigram is basically a word or 2 words that when flipped…..uh, hard to explain. Check out the photo and you will know what I mean. So what do you think they say? Find out after the photo.
Look out for more photos from her soon.

My first tat at 26…i learned about alibata/baybayin in college. i knew i had to get one. my last name was perfect with it’s very ‘Tagalog’ sound. took me years to decide on where to put it, how big, and what lay out it should have. i figured i’d have it on my left back side going down. i wanted it in brush strokes. the basic idea was all there, but my artist joe did a swell job in putting it all together and adding his own twist. turned out better than i imagined. can’t wait for my next ink.

Lizzie from Kentucky (there are Filipinos there?) uploaded this hot looking hip tattoo that says “Maganda” - beautiful in Tagalog. It would be cool to get a matching one in Baybayin on the other side. Inked at Rusty Needles, KY. Got a tattoo you want to share? Upload it.

From Kim (the person tattooed)
I can honestly say that all my tattoos have special meaning for me. However, this is the most meaningful one by far. I can’t think of a better group of people to have shared the last 21 years of my life with or a better way to pay tribute to them. Now they will really be with me everywhere I go.
