Oww!

"My body is my journal, and my tattoos are my story."

~Johnny Depp, American actor

A cousin whose family moved to the U.S. when he was only four years old came to the Philippines for a visit recently. On his last night here, he got this pretty awesome cross, dragon and rose tattoo. The tat was less than 24 hours old when I took this photo, the day of my cousin's departure. I think he had to go through the long flight home—more than 19 hours—with his shirt sleeve rolled up.
