TESTIMONIALS
Salamat kaayo Kuya Richie! What a beautiful and enriching gift you have. Thank you and Tatak Designs for these meaningful and enlightening ancestral markings. I really enjoyed all the questions that were asked during this process and found myself researching more and learning about my history. I found the designs you chose reflected my journey in this life and that will help guide me into the next world. I appreciate the care and choice of words in your explanations of why you chose certain motifs/patterns. I am grateful that you are a part of our Filipino community and thank you for keeping our culture alive for future generations to wear with pride. I hope to get these markings sometime in April! I will for sure get a pic/video for you when finished.
Sending light and love! Marita
I've been wanting a tattoo for quite some time now. The thing with me and tattoos, It has to have meaning to me. It's going to be permanent and I want it to tell a story.
I stumbled upon TATAK DESIGNS as I was doing my research for my tattoo. All I can say is WOW!!!
Richie is an amazing human being with a determination to preserve and educate everyone about the Filipino culture. I was to provide an in depth story about my life to this point and from there he used his knowledge of Filipino tribal tattoos to create a unique and one of a kind tattoo!
I'm truly speechless what he has created for me and extremely thankful.
Everything in this design has meaning, as explained in the diagram he provided me.
Great small business owner that will connect with you on a personal level. You won't just be another customer!

I truly am at a loss for words. My whole life I wanted to embrace my heritage and truly learn what is to be "Filipino". I'm never ashamed of who I am and I am thankful I found you Igsuon/brother to help me show and express who I am. I really did shed a few tears reading what you sent because this is exactly what I have been looking for and you hit it right on the head. It truly is a masterpiece and I cannot wait to get it done. Salamat po!
