Dutdutan 2009

Last September 18-19 of 2009, my sister joined the Dutdutan (Tattoo) Expo event at A Venue Events Hall, Makati Avenue, Makati.

Her tattoo is a Geisha on her right arm inked by Boh / Bong Pascasio (aka as the lead vocals of the Grin Department band). Sadly to say but she didn't won the medium size category but she managed to go through as one of the finalist. Hope to win one this year ^_^

One Arm Sleeve Tattoo

My brother finished (I think) his sleeve tattoo, and believe it or not, it was done by three artists. Firt it was done by Joe Saliendra (please see my previous post regarding the whole family gettin' a tattoo), it was a flower like samoan tattoo on his deltoid. Then a pinoy style tattoo on his chest and it was inked by Alex San Diego. Lastly, it was Boh Pascasio (vocalist of Grin Department, OPM) who made the finishing touches, and that is the sleeves samoan style incorporated with an old pinoy head hunter tattoo.

Henna Tattoo At The Beach

Last summer, me and my wife spent two days at the Kabayan Beach Resort at the Laiya in Batangas. My wife got her self a henna tattoo on her back.... a butterfly for only PhP 150.00

Prices can be negotiable if the design is easier and smaller and the price can reach up to PhP 300.00 or more if the design is much bigger and detailed.
