Getting a tattoo these days isn’t as shocking as it was before. Tattoos are a form of self-expression, something that differentiates you from the rest of the crowd and establishes that you are an individual. Even tattoo designs mean different things to different people. You don’t have to go for bold, huge, and colored, tattoos, you can keep it simple and small, testing the waters before you go all in. Get inspired by our various local tattoo parlors and amazing Pinoy artists who are more than willing to get the work done for you.
