Christian

Hi Melchor,

I don’t do tribal but I can do Baybayin. If your in the San Diego area, contact the Kuya who did that tattoo.

Awesome Tatt!!!!!
I’ve been planning on getting a tattoo very similar to this one since last year. One thing I am still battling is that I heard about tribal tattoo’s are capable of having spiritual attachments, specifically from native Native American and Mayan Tattoo’s, knowing the fact we have mayan blood in us. I don’t know if any knowledge of this phenomenon is apparent or understandable to anyone.

Christian

In my opinion, you make your tattoo whatever you like. One can have a tribal tattoo without “spiritual attachment” or not. It ultimately comes down to what you believe in. If a cross on your chest makes you feel better protected against “evil”, then more power to you. If barb wire around your arm makes you feel like you will get girls, then more power to you. It’s about the person rather than the tattoo. An atheist can have a “spiritual tattoo”. Like you said, there are a few things to think about before getting a cultural tattoo.

Im from the Cleveland, OH area and I don’t know of any tattoo artists around here that have experience with Filipino themed tattoos like the tribal one shown here. If you can help me out with maybe a design or a meaning or maybe if u know anyone from Cleveland that does it would be great.

Big D

i just wanted to know if there are any meanings of the tribals or if you blasted it as an art form. if there is, what are they? I’m trying to get some ideas for my sleeve. don’t worry, i won’t copy the designs. much mahalo!

Louson

just like Big D, I was wondering if those symbols have meaning. if so what are they. i have been doing research on the different tattoo symbols for months but they just isnt to much information online about them.
Jeremy De Guzman

I am huge fan of this shoulder piece. my dad is from the Philipine Islands and has told me many stories of the unique art work. I was wondering if you could send me this piece through e-mail? If you could it would be greatly appreciated.
Jeremy De Guzman

Mark

Hey, Iwas wondering if there are any filipino tribal artist close ot Sacramento, Ca.
Jermaine

this is samoan tribal. in my opinion samoan tattoos shouldnt be confused with polynsian or pacific islander tattoos. I have many samoan friends who are sensitive to their culture. it bugs them seeing their specific cultural design for them on other ppl. i really dont think the Kuya should put Samoan designs on anyone but samoans

Rizzi

aye bro where in san diego are u located at address or number?? im tryna get a filipino Tribal tattoo before i go back to the philz on may 25th

http://thakuya.com tha kuya

this is not a kaukau samoa or pe’a, though it may have some samoan designs, does it make it a samoan tattoo? NO, this is what is known as neo tribal, it has many influences…i grew up with samoans and mistaken as one 99% of the time, so I call myself THA KUYA and i sport my pinoy shirts and i speak my tagalog…it doesn’t bother me that others think i’m other than pinoy, but, recognize that I am…as a matter of fact, samoans give me props for this piece coz it has fluidity that the traditional samoan tattoos lack, and that’s why they call it neo-tribal.

if you’re interested in a tattoo please call 619 322 2237
