My Filipino video tattoo has been one of my most watched pieces in a good while.
Of course I find Filipino tattoos really special, but it’s impressive to me how much tattoo art is present in so many cultures of the world and provides a really strong link to the past. I’ve come across some really cool traditions from Maōri, Hawaiian, pre-Islamic Pakistani cultures too, among many more.
If I had the means to put together a full fledged documentary exploring the art in its different forms around the world, this would be an incredible subject.
