Mic3 sends in a tattoo of a montage artwork  by Samoan Mike from Sacred Center Tattoo which took 1 year in the making and still is in progress.

First and foremost, the portrait at the top is one of Jose Rizal inside the Sun of the Philippine flag that we know of now. Right below is a depiction of Lapu Lapu (Iliji  Rajiki), protector of the Philippine Islands against Ferdinand Magellan and other Conquistadors. Lapu Lapu is holding a Balisong or Kampilan and a shield or Pestle, more known now as the Kalinga Apayao shield. Mic3 had the markings of the Kalinga tattooed on Lapu Lapu himself although that wasn’t so in reality.

Future plans to add on to this masterpiece are rice pattys off to the right side of his body and Eskrima Fighters/Warriors within the area. Also 3 stones below the portrait will be added, representing the 3 main islands of the Philippines, and within them will be the Hail Mary Prayer in Alibata/Baybayin. Lastly the Philippine islands will be shaded in.
