Intuitive & Culturally Inspired Tattoos
Every element in this piece was placed with purpose. This design is rooted in Ilokano & Tagalog symbolism — a visual prayer, a love letter to the ancestors.
Snake tongues for protection & strength. Birds as messengers between worlds. Rain for renewal & blessings. Bituin (stars) to guide the way. Fish for abundance, resilience & freedom. The moon to honour the Divine Feminine. And at the heart of it — the lingling-o, a symbol of harmony between masculine & feminine energy, reminding us of the balance we carry within. Finished with sampaguita leaves, a nod to the embroidery stitched by the hands of our elders.
This is more than a tattoo — it’s storywork, ceremony, and a return to self.
Thank you for crossing the border & trusting me with this piece M!

Every element in this piece was chosen with intention for K’s journey—anchored in self-love, growth, and the reminder that she is already whole.
The spiral & sunburst to honour her light and evolution.
The infinity for eternal love.
The leaves for steady, gentle growth.
The moons & Venus symbol for the divine feminine and embracing change.
The stars & dotwork for moments to pause, breathe, and find light in the dark.
And the sacred circle—a reminder that she is complete, just as she is.
Grateful to have channeled this talisman for her.

A love letter to land, lineage, and spirit.
The bird brings messages from the unseen.
The scorpion guards the heart with warrior energy.
Birds of paradise bloom with bold rebirth, while sampaguita roots it all in home—Paete’s carvings, softness, devotion.
Mountains for Laguna. Moons and stars for the cosmos.
Swirls move like water, air, and spirit — the flow of life itself.
Sacred protection, playful mischief, and ancestral connection all living together in this design.
Thank you S, for trusting me with these intentions, traveling across the country for these sacred markings and for the beautiful conversations we shared throughout our session.
