My tattoos and its story.steemCreated with Sketch.

I decided to get my first tattoo out of curiosity. Started with a small one just to feel the pain.

I chose Dove and Grenade, an album name. It's the fifth single released from Hollywood Undead, my favorite rap rock band. Another form of Yin and Yang. Blue for peace, Red for war. Grenade: a sign of destruction and Dove for restoration. Just like how I can use this arm. To inflict pain or caress people. Symbol in the grenade means Capricorn, my zodiac sign.

I never thought I will get another one because of the pain and it's cost. But then I liked it and want more. So I tattooed my favorite DOTA2 hero: Witch Doctor. And I inked it on the most painful part of the body. I'm somewhat in rue for it's so painful and struggled to finished this in one session.

And those characters behind my ears are drawn by someone dear to me. Someone whom I know that can't love me. But still, I dont want to forget about our happy memories. (Tattoo na lang ang forever nako... #SadLife)

Next is this hourglass tattoo. This is to remind me to spend my time wisely. And never wait for someone who won't come back. (Yes, hugot na... XD)

Below it are the card suites. Card games are already a part of my life and want to show it. I like to gamble in Poker, Tong-its and many other card games.

I tattooed this dragon as a sign of courage and bravery. The Yin-yang means to balance it. To remind myself to control my courage in loving someone I can't have. Been in a lot of clandestine relationships lately.

Colorful compass. This tattoo means that I have colorful experiences traveling with Misai, my travel buddy. We have too many memorable adventure that I even tattooed her name.
