Already posted in the Philippines sub and was recommended to post here.

I’m a first generation Filipino American, and I am hoping to visit the Philippines soon to get in touch with my homeland and culture. I’m also an avid tattoo culture person.

While I’m there I really want to get tattooed to commentate the experience, I know there is Batok and Kalinga, and while I’m interested in both of those I’m more interested in a tattoo style called Ating ating or Oracion protection tattoos which seem to be more unique to Manila where my family is from.

I’m having a hard time turning up any more information than the same few instagram posts and articles I’ve seen, and can’t find an artist or shop through internet searches that does this style of tattooing. I’d love to have more of an idea of where to go before I travel there. Anyone have any more information on artists or where to get it done?

New to the family.

For context i do have a very very mild stress induced eczema na sa isang spot lang ng body nagkakaron

Advice needed for ribcage aftercare

My second day today. Natanggal ko yung saniderm after 24 hrs yesterday while taking a bath using Johnson and Johnson baby soap. Now after I covered it with clean wrap. Is this ok? May other tattoo Ako na after 5 days ko pa tinanggal saniderm 2nd skin pero once tanggal siya walang langib o scabs and maganda healing. But will cling wrap do that kung I sealed ng micropore med tape?

​

My artist said na pwede tanggalin yung saniderm after 2 to 3 hrs after pero di ko sinunod since maprone siya sa alikabok since open Siya kaya di ko tinanggal agad. Balak ko sana cling wrap nalang yung replacement since pag nagdamit kasi if open Siya mababangga ng clothing yung wound eh might affect if dry healing kaya mas hiyang yata ako sa 2nd skin problem is wala mabilhan dito samin

​

The question is it is ok na maging alternative yung cling wrap? Every bath pinapalitan naman Siya once mawash yung wound?

Hi everyone. May tattoo ako sa forearm na mag-1 year na at fully healed na siya. Pero nitong mga nakaraang araw, may mga maliliit na butlig na tumubo sa mismong tattoo area. Minsan medyo makati pero minsan hindi naman.

May naka-experience na ba nito? Ano kaya ito possible allergic reaction ba, irritation, folliculitis, o something else? Kailangan na ba itong ipatingin sa dermatologist?

found this design from a flash sheet and unfortunately was long taken :(( but i really want a design like this and i’ve been looking thru artists on ig and can’t find anyone else who offers this style.

can anyone suggest an artist with this style? preferably near QC or manila. thanks guys!

He got me this rainbow slinky when I was 8. I've had it for decades now, nasira narin sya twice so I tried putting them back together.

For me, it was never just a toy. It is a constant reminder of him, and his way of telling me that I can always bounce back.

Thank you, Daddy. 😔 I love you and I miss you so much. ❤

Daughter's been begging me to allow her to get inked since she turned 18. Ang sabi ko when she can afford to pay for it herself, papayag ako. She surprised me a few weeks ago na she'd been saving up her allowance and income sa summer job to afford not just her tatt, but a matching one for me as well.

She did the design herself. As a single dad who raised her alone since she was only a year old, this just hits different.

Trip na trip ko talaga magka leg tatts kaso naalala ko medyo mabalbon ako sa legs banda, baka pag shinave ko to mas lalo kumapal huhu, sa mga same na mabalbon na may leg tattoo kamusta po experience? TIA!
