Tattoos in the Philippines serve as powerful expressions of faith, protection, and gratitude among various individuals. Abner Paangay showcases his devotion to Jesus through his Last Supper tattoo, while Kirby Maligat draws strength from Philippians 4:13.

Randy Cabiles, a tattoo studio owner, emphasizes how skin becomes a canvas for these meaningful symbols, connecting individuals to their beliefs and fostering a sense of community.
