Tattoos?

I lived in the Philippines for two years (age 19-21). I've been back for 7 years, but I still connect very deeply with the Philippines in many ways. This was my ode to the country I adore and the culture I can't get out of my heart.

Second tattoo...



This Aztec sun is worn by both my wife and myself—lots of meaning behind it.

Third tattoo...



That's right... my n600. It means more than just the n600, though. Working on cars is something I've wanted to do since I was 13. One like this . I've just always wanted to know how to do it. This tattoo not only represents the car that I love, but it represents the fact that I achieve goals. It's a reminder not to take life for granted and to take the time to do the things I really want to do.

Oh man, I can't wait to go to the Philippines and get myself a dragon tattoo!

Don't dare. Save your money for something valuable and worthwhile. Whatever tattoo you are thinking of, a butterfly on your ankle, would you wear socks with a butterfly on the ankle every day for the rest of your life no matter what you are doing or what else you are wearing? Buy a nice art print for your wall. Buy a nice jacket you can wear when you want. Buy a nice piece of jewelry or watch you can again wear when you want. That tattoo isn't going to be so fresh and great in fifty years and depending on where it is it may really not do well with time and gravity.
