The Sun Shines On Body Art Lovers

I have always contemplated on having a Japanese Kanji or a tribal tattoo. However, this plan has never materialized because of the culture existing in the Philippines in regards to tattoos.

Years ago, tattoos were very much associated with convicted criminals. It is a thing common only for the inmates. Though I feel that we have grown mature in regards to this view, the fact remains that tattoos can still stand between you and your prospective employer.

However, Neil Crespi observed that there is a thriving tattoo scene especially in San Diego. This is all thanks to the city’s warm weather and beach which provides a venue for body art enthusiasts to show off their inks. Tattoo artists have flocked together in the city and as common to people sharing the same passion, they have all treated each other as friends rather than competitors.
