The 2 sides of Filipinos

June 3, 2008 by Christian 

Actually, it’s really more 1 sided. Here’s a good looking Filipino “tribal” shoulder piece with Baybayin and Christ. Another mashup of pre & post Filipino history controversy. I’m not really sure what the Baybayin says but it looks like the free fonts you see online. I would’ve had the tattoo artist write it himself.

    The person in the circle is actually not Christ. The circle is one side of the St. Benedict Medal, and of course the person in the middle is St. Benedict.
