"We all need a undeniable need to belong". People from all walks of life would have reasons, be it belonging to a group, express religious, magical or spiritual beliefs or personal convictions as to why he decided to have his/her body inked; I stand in the latter. For years I've been wanting to have this concept in my mind inked on my skin since my father passed away 8 years ago. Until last month when I was introduced to this superb artist ( www.skinworkztattoo.com ) from the Philippines who did the art on my friends body too. I gave him the concept of me loving the outdoors and with it would be the name of my father. He then came up with this Philippine/Polynesian design which represented the highlander and the lowlander people of the Philippines and with it was the name of my dad written in an ancient Philippine alphabet (Alibata). So here it is in my skin, the concept I had for years, inked in me for life!
