Reminder: the Spaniards called us “The Painted Ones”
If tattoos aren’t against your religion, you owe it to your ancestors to GET PAINTED✨🇵🇭
The Spaniards referred to the people of Visayas as “pintados”, referring to the abundance of tattoos gracing the skin of indigenous Filipinos, telling their own personal stories, along with the stories of their families 💖
✨Shoutout Mang Michael @ugatclothing for the Kalayaan inspo.

❤️🔥 Chinga la Migra ❤️🔥
Concept is now live on the blog, along with fun little shareables for valentines Day (in a separate post for organization purposes) 💖 Print them out, send them to your friends, whatever you want to do✨
In the Chinga la migra blog, I briefly touch on how I don’t see much activism in South Asian art anymore, and I used henna to explore it. 💞 Enjoy!
