Tattoo Fashion in the Philippines

Body tattoo have now creeps into the fashion world of Philippine fashion industry wherein Filipino me and women avails to put a customized design tattoo on the parts of their body they wish to mark with tattoo. However, before modern day tattoo craze hit the modern Philippines, there already exist pre-Hispanic body arts in the Philippines similar to body tattoos. These pre-Hispanic Filipinos were called “Pintados”. Their bodies were tattooed with indigenous arts similar to tattoo arts today but with minor different variations only.

And this pre-Hispanic Filipino art is coming back with a mixture of modern designs and modern tattoo paraphernalia. Filipino men are the most in to this art trend wherein they mostly love to put tattoos on their biceps, triceps, hands and shoulders, while Filipino women loves to have their tattoos on their lower backs or under their belly button or sometimes on the ankles of their foot.

Even Filipino children were hook by this body tattoo trend; they too have tattoos on the parts of their bodies but only fake which came from commercial snacks or junk food products sold on sari-sari stores, as a free items.

However, though some Filipinos love to have tattoo in their bodies, some do not like it and see it as a dirty art and have threat to skin health.

Vanity Kit of Filipino Men

Beautifying oneself is not exclusively for women of course, but men do have the right to do so but it is just it is not the favorite topic of men because they may look gayish if it is openly talked about. Furthermore, beautifying oneself is not always perceive as a vain thing but also a personal hygiene and personal responsibility to take care oneself wherein the reward is one’s handsome, beautiful, and gorgeous appearance or look, just like gorgeous men and women of the Philippines.

Their secrets of being beautiful is not actually a secret, it is just a good personal hygiene. According to an online survey, most Filipino men like their female counterpart, uses also natural shampoos and soaps for their hair and body, respectively. The most natural shampoo and soap brand they often use is the Palmolive Natural Shampoo and Soap, but some use the Ascend Natural Shampoo brand and Vicky Bello’s natural soap, particularly the Papaya one.

In terms of facial care, most Filipino men use the Cetaphil brand for their acnes and pimples and facial cleanser as well; but some also use Master Eskinol brand as their facial cleanser. Only few rich Filipino men go to facial centers for ultimate facial care because it is quite expensive.

However, Filipino men do go to parlors not only for haircuts but also for manicures and pedicures; even some go to foot spa for their feet.

Filipino men are also conscious of their boy figure wherein some have regimens in the gym, those who can afford it only.

These are just a handful of vanity products and regimens which most Filipino men use to beautify themselves. For there are some vanity products where rich Filipino men use which an ordinary Filipino men could not afford and not basically available on a local consortium market where most ordinary Filipino men have access to.

Desperate Filipina

In the Philippines, Filipino women have equal status or equal rights with Filipino men but this is only specifically on a non-Muslim places and communities because Islam religion are somewhat male chauvinist in their dealings with womankind.

Filipino women on a non-Muslim community in the Philippines enjoy every rights of a free human. Being just like the Filipino men, and one of these rights is to look for a foreign partner aside from her Filipino men counterpart and to marry these foreign boyfriends legally in the Philippines as their chosen husbands or spouse.

Actually, this has been already a trend to most young Filipina in the Philippines today, but there is a suspicious reason why. That is, a force “gold digging” because of financial poverty. Most young Filipinas pose as a sexy female model in a sexy cyber chat websites hoping to hook and to find a horny male foreigner that may have an option to marry them aside from paying them in exchange for cybersex. However, some other young Filipina women have other means and never participate in this kind of finding a foreigner lover but what they do instead is they make profiles on an online dating site hoping to find a rich foreign straight guy who are looking for a relationship.

But I am not saying all Filipinas seeking a foreign lover have this kind of intention and motives, it was just rampant nowadays and I was just concerned when will a desperate Filipina stop using herself as a bait to catch a big fat fish beyond the Philippine seas?
