    Why did you choose this particular design?

    I choose this design because of the meaning and


    sentimental importance to me. I choose this
    because, as I explained in my prior response to your
    request. Sometimes it takes me a long time to
    decide on a tattoo design because I only have so
    much flesh and so many ideas. This is frequently
    how it works. Either my artist will come up with
    something on his own, which I will view and go,
    "Damn, I like that, give it to me." Or I'll draw
    something, give it to him, and he'll come up with his
    own "tattoo-ified" version of the same basic idea. It
    works out sometimes, and it doesn't always. Tattoo
    art isn't the same as art on paper; for a variety of
    reasons, a piece that looks great on paper doesn't
    always convert into a fantastic tattoo design.

    What does the image symbolises or represent to


    you?

    The tinatalaaw (which literally means “day”) tattoo


    design represents the passing of time. The tattoo is
    made up of two parts: one that is blank and one
    that is blackened to represent “day” and “night,”
    respectively. Depending on how Kalinga people
    view their tattoos, it can have a variety of
    meanings.

    Is your tattoo a memorial tattoo? If so what or


    who is being commemorated?

    One is in memory of my Lola, another is an


    affirmation for me that being an elderly woman
    doesn’t have to mean being boring, and it hides a
    large back surgery scar, and yet another is a
    symbolic meaning about the day, which represents
    the days I spend with my lola, and the night, which
    represents my lola’s downfall or death.
    Does your tattoo have any historical significance or
    was it inspired by something else?

    Batok is a thousand-year tattooing tradition that is a


    little more painful than modern methods. This tattoo
    was inspired by Batok. Kalinga tattoo ink is
    manufactured from locally sourced resources. A sharp
    thorn needle from a calamansi tree pierces the skin
    with charcoal mixed with water inside a coconut shell.

    If you choose where your particular tattoo, where it


    will be and why?

    It was my intention to create it into an armband


    tattoo. A solid black armband tattoo has traditionally
    been associated with the loss of a loved one. Black is,
    after all, the color of death and sadness. The form
    effectively represents the act of wearing the
    deceased’s remembrance on one’s sleeve. On a more
    positive note, the solid armband tattoo can also
    represent strength and good fortune.
