Lotus Flower Tattoo - another inked

I got a new inked at my back and I find them cool. It’s a lotus flower and was placed at the lower part of my nape. Done last December 30, 2008 and was a compliment of someone... Made by the same tattoo shop (pain and leisure). Just another state of the art which I want to do. And for those who used to ask me if what’s with me why I always want to add tattoos, mind yah! It’s none of your business anyway...

A lotus flower actually rises above the water and a symbol of the sun, of creation and rebirth. This flower seems to have a unique characteristic as it closes and sinks underwater at night and rises again at dawn. It symbolizes the purity of mind and heart and represents long life, health, honor and good luck.

InKeD L!Fe

Just got my life inked. The tattoo is placed at the right side of my back. It’s a Koi fish which means love and affection. It is also a symbol of love and friendship in Japan . It is closely related to goldfish where in fact its style of breeding and ornamentation has become very similar. Actually, the Koi and tattoos of Koi are traditionally considered as lucky. The word koi comes from Japanese which simply means “carp” that also includes the dull grey fish and the brightly colored varieties.

My koi was done by a Philtag member Randy "rnb" Barnedo of Pain and Leisure tattoo.

Paintings... The Big 'O' on Art

One thing why I’m so blessed is that I got a brother who’s so much gifted with his bare hands. I don’t exactly know where he got his ability to draw or to paint, but huh, maybe it runs in the blood, heheheh… He is Omar. My family and I first notice his skills when he was still a kid. He draw too much and when he first stepped on school he used to join the poster making contest. He often won the contest until he became the constant representative of the poster making category. As I remember at the age of seven he was already sent to Cebu City, Baguio, Aklan and other places to represent his school.

He was a small but terrible boy by that time;
now see how he’s gone far. He’s a total grown up guy, and he’s the artist of the fam. With his looks, oh, don’t bother! He got his own styles to amaze other humans, hahah! I used to get irritated the way he dressed up but later on I need to adopt everything he has in his life. I love this guy, and he’s the best bro that I have…. Aside from being a sister, I still try to be a great friend to him. We used to have the same likes when it comes to music, fashion, stuffs, and we even have common friends that make us more close to each other. And hmmmm… one thing I like most with this art guy is that he used to lend me money whenever I’m broke, hahahaha! That’s the good thing of having an utmost bro like him! I got some of his paintings here.

Check 'em out and see how awesome the art are...
