Tattoo of the Week: Yancy Medeiros

I wish I knew what the significance of Yancy Medeiros's tattoos. He's from Hawaii, so I'm assuming there's some sort of tribal aspect to them. Regardless, they're beautiful, and I really appreciate how much time and effort must have gone into them. Can't wait to see how it all turns out.

so does the guy holding the towel.
I'm all about covering the spread and moneylines. I was building a house, I don't deserve this, deserves have nothing to do with it. Bang. "Unforgiven" I drink your milkshake. I drink it up! "There Will BE Blood"

Speaking of Vera,
if ever you guys wanted to do a tattoo of the week on him, his tattoo’s are characters from the ancient writing system in the Philippine Islands called ‘Baybayin’. It represents the four elements, and reads as Mundo (Earth), Hangin (Wind), Tubig (Water) and Apoy (Fire).
Mundo, while it is still a correct translation of earth, the more proper term he should’ve used is ‘lupa’ (soil). The bamboo triangle, If I am correct, is probably about the belief that all good things come in threes (not 100% sure on this though). Now, on the other writing on his legs, he did mention that before on some interviews, but alas, I forgot, and I can’t read that ancient language. :)
