Learn MoreMy most recent tattoo was inspired by my Filipino heritage and the desire to honor my roots. The design blends the Sampaguita, our national flower, with freehand tribal elements that reflect strength, identity, and tradition. It’s a visual story of where I come from, a tribute to my ancestors, and a reminder to carry my culture with pride wherever I go. This piece isn’t just ink—it’s who I am.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?If my ink could speak, it would say: "I am your story—etched in pride, born of heritage. I carry the strength of your ancestors, the beauty of your culture, and the fire of your identity. You are rooted in tradition, yet bold enough to create your own path. Never forget where you came from, and never be afraid to show the world who you are."
What would you do with the $25,000?With $25,000, I’d build my savings and give myself the escape I deserve. Somewhere with sun, sand, and the ocean nearby—where I can feel the warmth on my skin, hear the waves, and reconnect with peace. It’s about being smart with my future and kind to my soul.
