Tattoos are often seen as the stories we etch onto our skin, but they've come a long way since their inception. In ancient times, tattoos carried profound communal significance. Today, they might commemorate life events or express individuality, but their roots run deep. As for me, I carry my wife's birthdate on my skin as a reminder o...

Your ink is permanent jewellery that narrates the story of who you are.

Like prose in the pages of a book, they minutely piece together the story of your existence.

“Anarchist.” “Misfit.” “Rebel.”

These words may stir up feelings of fear and discomfort, but why?

Those who dare to be themselves in a world that compels people to conform to predetermined moulds, are the ones who dare to be themselves bringing a fresh breath of authenticity.

Let’s redefine these terms as badges of honor for the brave, the different and the game-changers.

So I went to go treat myself considering the absolute hell I've been going through recently, by getting some gaps filled in on my chest. Add some peonys to it to make me feel more feminine. Booked in to a new studio to check them out. What happened, I hear you ask? Well they were more than happy to book me in and take a deposit. Today I leave an hour early to make sure I'm there in enough time. Put their address into Google. Park my car, go to said address. Nothing is there. I ask all the locals in the street, no-one knew. I ring the number on Google, was a different tattoo shop who wasn't in the area. I send several messages. No reply. I write on their page, no reply. Then a woman who said her husband was booked in an hour before I was, was stood up. He waited outside the shop and nobody who worked there turned up. So, I cried my eyes out after having walked around a town I didn't know for an hour asking so many strangers where I was going. Lesson learned. Happy Saturday. Myself and Bear are going on a walk and then ordering pizza. 🍕 #TattooStories #BlackHeartTattoos #StoodUp #Trowbridge #HappySaturday #Ink #Tattoos https://www.instagram.com/p/CVXtSPPMd4B/?utm_medium=tumblr

My Relationship With Tattoos

Art as we know it comes in any medium. It could be a portrait, a scuplture, a dish, a film or even a fighting style. The canvas and the medium may change, but one thing remains constant. It represents something. One's feelings, identity, code, maybe even culture. Tattoos are not far from this. They are pieces of art etched on a living canvas. Just like any piece of art can be viewed differently by the artist, the wearer as well as the mere spectator. The same perception could also be rooted from a personal interpretation/bias, cultural influence, and etc.

The Philippines, while still attempting to develop have yet to change its view on tattooing. To some, it is in fact seen at an artistic light whereas most view them with negative connotations. Some even view tattooed individuals as nothing but bottom dwellers, drug addicts, criminals, anything synonymous with the word undesirable. We even have a senator that says exactly these words about tattooed individuals, as do most conservative folks. Which is ironic considering that tattoos once played a significant role in the pre-colonial history. It often dsiplayed one's role, accomplishments, clan, and even social status. One of our most well-reputed national artists happen to be Whang-Od. To the uninitiated, she is currently the last living traditional tattoo artist around these parts. She is well sought out by visitors both domestic and foreign. In all sincerity, I'd like to see that senator try and publicly call her a drug addict to her face. Like I said, The Philippines has yet to be anywhere near ready to adapt to a modern society. And with it, more progressive views.

I for one had a neutral stance on them. I should know, I have four of them and have gone through five sessions all in all. But before that, I remember wanting to get one as far as when I was in college and even intending to get two particular pieces. One being WWE Superstar Edge's Rise Above wrist piece and Toryn Green's sinner and saint ambigram. This what happens when you grow up being a fan of hard rock music, professional wrestling and mixed martial arts. Although what kept me from getting tattooed was the fear of being an ineligible blood donor, as well as the fear of being unemployable in the future.

That however changed after I graduated. Turns out, most corporate environments won't even bat an eye at an upper management figure sporting full sleeves and stretched earlobes. Others may not be as lenient. But it hardly impacted how they're received in the company.  I even had a chance to get a session done in 2013 but it kept falling apart.

It didn't cross my mind until 2017 and that's that I finally decided to go for it. I remembered seeing a simple but perfectly symmetrical geometric arrow design. The design was perfect. I also happen to love archery. So I literally had no other issue with it. I later ended up getting referred by my cousin to her artist who did her wrist piece months prior. The three weeks leading up to that session, I let my folks know in advance that I am getting a tattoo. I didn't wait for their approval or anything. I made it clear that I’m getting inked. Furthermore, I’d like to point out that I am a regular subscriber to Aaron Marino’s YouTube Channel (you may know him as Alpha M). I then took some crucial tips regarding tattoos. I had the certainty down as long as I follow one crucial tip. You have a whole sea of skin all over you. So out of all that, just avoid having one on your hands, neck, and face. If you can hide it with a dress shirt, it’s completely fine. 

On the day of my appointment, I literally just slapped on a sleeveless Avenged Sevenfold cut-off top, some shorts, with only my phone and wallet in hand before heading out for my session. It happened in a small studio just next to a small school in Pacita. Fortunately, I got there in time and I happened to be his only scheduled client for the day. What happened next was pivotal. I literally watched as the needle first touched my skin and slowly covered my birthmark. The session itself took over five hours. And what turned out to be the final product was an entirely different design. One which was inspired by the concept I sent, but also deviated from it. My parents despite having already been warned in advance were still initially shocked by it. They didn’t think I was actually going ahead with it. So this is the part where I retroactively followed what Jaiden Dittfach (of Jaiden Animations) said when she got her bird Ari. If you want really want something and your parents said no, get it anyway and trick them into loving it. Now that it’s on my skin, there really wasn’t much they could do about it. But at least they know its meaning and that it isn’t anything negative. I did have some issues with the product though and it took three more years before I finally got it fixed. For good this time. At least before the pandemic happened and it was done by a trusted friend. In her defense, she made the best of what she could work with then and even remarked how deep the first needle went. Fortunately, she managed to even out some places that needed to be polished.

The (first) finished product.

Finally fixed. 

In between all of this, I also managed to get three more pieces. It was November 12, 2018, a news shocked Marvel fans the world over. Stan Lee tragically passed away just six weeks shy of what would have been his 96th birthday. It was such a devastating loss of a figure who helped mold the childhoods of many. I wrote about it and posted it here shortly after. During those events, I remembered having come across the Wakandan alphabet before it hit me. But first, I had to consult a few friends in order to make sure that I wouldn’t be committing any act of cultural appropriation. After finally clearing that up, I sent my own design to a friend of mine (Who went on to do all of my ink from that point on) and booked the session. Thanksgiving day later came and I realized that we had no work that day. So I later called her up to see if she was free. Fortunately, she was and I finally had it etched on my right forearm. It was the Latin word “Excelsior” that literally translates to ever upward. It was also Stan’s catchphrase. The feeling of getting that piece was a lot more different than the previous one. This came with a wave of emotion. Because the significance could even be traced from my childhood and I grew up around this fandom and it meant more to me than just entertainment. It helped shape part of my identity. It’s literally the one piece I wish I could have flashed on a camera next to Stan himself. One thing’s for sure both Stan Lee and Chadwick Boseman would have thought it was a wise choice for a piece of ink on one’s skin. 

“Excelsior”

Upon having gone through a tattoo session, you can only describe the feel of a needle as a sting. But you wouldn’t exactly call it pain. That isn’t an opinion, that is a fact. Another thing one must know upon getting a tattoo is that you will later want additional pieces. Your skin will want the feel of that needle again. And while my parents said that would be my last piece, I simply couldn’t promise that. This time around, I’ve been looking to get a Cthulhu tattoo since December 2018. Of course, being busy as always, I couldn’t find a time to arrange it. I would only do so once I’m sure I’m completely free for that day. I live two lives. Both as a corporate guy and a public figure. Spare time and sleep are luxuries I can’t always afford. And after all the planning, I finally booked it. I literally went to my friend’s place right away to have it done. The session was of reasonable length and it felt different. Both of my previous tattoos were done on my right forearm. Both of which had uplifting personal meanings. A darker piece like that would be completely out of place in that part of my body. So I opted for my left bicep. It was surreal. I’m a man invested into multiple fandoms and H.P. Lovecraft’s universe is definitely in that list. There’s just something about the occult and the unknown horrors of the cosmos that piqued my interest since my formative years. This was me finally marking that on my skin. If there’s one of Lovecraft’s most iconic creations that deserved that spot, it was the famed Dreamer of R’lyeh himself. If the excelsior tattoo gave a rush of innocence that I hadn’t felt in ages, this was different. It had that enigmatic aura around it which made it all the more perfect. The piece came together so well and it was on an arm that a needle had yet to kiss. After the session, you could say I probably found out how the Sam Raimi Peter Parker felt when he first put on the black symbiote suit. Minus the dance when he exited that tailor shop. I also ended up getting a freehand bonus on my right wrist again. Just something Roxy threw in. It was the Latin phrase “Sic Parvis Magna.” which literally translates to “Thus great things come from small things.” or better yet, greatness from small beginnings. Which is another phrase I hold dear considering my humble origins.

“Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn”

“In his house at R’lyeh, dead Cthulhu waits dreaming.”

“Thus great things come from small things.”

That certainly wouldn’t be the end of it. Again, while my folks insisted that I got my last pieces, I still can’t promise that. One thing’s for sure, I wouldn’t get any piece that either stands for something that abridges the rights of another human being, nor would any of my upcoming pieces ever wrongly appropriate a culture. Ultimately, I would always advise everyone to at least take Aaron Marino’s advise to heart. Don’t get one that you wouldn’t want to show your folks. You also have a whole sea of skin around you, so avoid having one on your hands, neck and face. I’m definitely not done stepping next to a needle. I still have plans on some pieces. But I always see to their significance. It’s always wise to do exactly that. Getting a tattoo isn’t a joke. It’s a commitment. One that can even outlive a marriage. So it pays to take every choice into consideration. Some of us choose to wear our hearts on our sleeve and some do so literally.

  Recently, tattoos have become as commonplace as your daily cup of tea, with a quarter of Britons proudly sporting them and one in nine boldly choosing visible ink. For me, the journey into the world of body art began in my rebellious teenage years and gradually evolved into a lifelong habit. Collecting tattoos has become my game, a t...

My niece and nephew would like to know the story behind each of my tattoos. It has caused me to give it some thought. My tattoos are not born out of a long-held tradition. They are at best, my spirit reaching through the dark obscurity of white patriarchy to re-forge a connection with a magick that has been suppressed in our psyche for eons. They are a riddle I am writing for myself. An emergence of wisdom that has gone unrecorded in my own known genetic history. When I read these words by the tattooist in Sia Figiel’s book They Who Do Not Grieve, (scroll to read) I felt another part of myself had been recognised, despite this tradition not being one I have been brought up to. I don’t believe we are separate. I believe we are one. This is why relationship in all its forms is so important. You, who may appear so different to me, have the power to remind me who I also am. I may be blessed to do the same for you. God does not fit in a box. It is time to weed out, from the truth of divine love, all the ways in which freedom has been crushed and undermined. ALL of us have been subjected to this tyranny. If we do not recognise it in ourselves, we will continue to propagate control and division into future generations. This is an era of great remembering. What is ‘different’ about an ‘other’ is not the hard line we think it is. That unknown is in fact, something we have not yet remembered. We need it to become whole again. Most of we western white people are like orphans. We are so disconnected from any indigenous roots that we float on a history as shallow as industrialism. If we look back, we will largely see the horror our ancestors inflicted on those who were still connected to their roots. If we are not doing this work, we cannot claim to be doing shadow work. This is the biggest shadow of all. But if we can face it, integrate it, then we can both move forwards and see farther back to a time when we remembered who we really were. We can feel it again. #shashaspiritledlife #tattoostories #womenwithink #tattootradition #siafigiel #samoatattoo #samoanwriters #amplifymelanatedvoices #whitepatriarchy #indigenous #weareone #reintegration #healing https://www.instagram.com/p/CNaEXfAjtkk/?igshid=c75f49xu9z46
