The people who couldn't be happy for you at your best days are not your tribe... But those who clap when you win, listen when you're upset, put up with your mood swings or crazy ideas, get proud when you're ahead, feel sad when you're down, match their words with actions... are precious gems in a pile of indistinguishable rocks. ✨ Group tattoo for these young ladies, in bloom to be their own unique versions of what a strong woman should be.

Late post for this Hamsa piece. I probably need some protective charm myself too. #customtattoos #mothandmachines #charmth https://www.instagram.com/p/B1bNA8zBMws/?igshid=sk7gw313q394

My Ate used to say, "pag may anak ka na, your life isn't yours anymore". It's true. Having a child would teach you to put away your needs and drop your wants and just focus on another human being, or in this case, two. ✨ I am glad that my clients are able to feel that they take part in designing their tattoos. As much as I care about the aesthetic of the tattoo, I also care about the vision of my clients. And to my future clients: let's meet halfway 😊 (at Moth and Machines Tattoo Studio) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1XJgVFh5vK/?igshid=5o29bws566c9

What you allow is what shall be, Best not let fear shroud what you see. Deepen your roots, sprout like a tree. The sacred seeds are you and me. (at Moth and Machines Tattoo Studio) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1T1AnvBjKM/?igshid=nmbo7wwvren9

Seems like I've run out of captions so I'd just say how this piece made me and my client feel: AWESOME. 😜 Custom tiger piece on my imaginative client Korrie, thank you so much. (at Moth and Machines Tattoo Studio) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1TpLmhBFmc/?igshid=1v5hasm2orjaq

Very happy with the result of this sketchy tattoo on brown skin. 💗💖💞 Most people assume that tattoos would only look good on people with fair skin. Oh, wait.... My ultimate goal is to develop a style that would look great on any skin color. I am a Filipino artist tattooing mostly Filipinos and I refuse to "bleach-filter" my client's skin on social media just to make the colors pop or the contrast more noticeable. #tothineownselfbetrue https://www.instagram.com/p/B0UcR4ZhKDP/?igshid=aob4uzt86nab

Just take what you need. Everything else excess baggage only adds up to the weight. When you free up your space, whether its physical or mental, you welcome new things you never knew existed. https://www.instagram.com/p/B0SdQOKBtWf/?igshid=16upa2b0ki93h

Swines and vultures flocked together, To perpetrate the deed in shade, They picked her poison, then they cut her, Expecting crimson on the blade, Shattered to pieces, they broke her shell to prove a monster's within her But when they saw what blooms through hell They scrammed to bury guilt, however. * * * personalized piece for Slne, thanks so much! https://www.instagram.com/p/Bza2TZVhaj-/?igshid=1jif08apmdocw
