Filipino Tribal Tattoos

The "alibata", an alphabet used by natives of the Philippines prior to the conquest of the foreign invaders to the country, can be used by a modern-day Filipino as a tattoo to express one's devotion to the history and integrity of his country, and the meaning of the text itself may be separate from the meaning of the act of using the alphabet itself. Truly, with the use of language to give significance to written tattoos, a cultural and intellectual approach to individuality is made possible.
