Tattoos are permanent pieces of art on an individual’s body. As it is permanent, many people tattoo certain things as a remembrance of a treasured memory or person.
A man from the Philippines, Bojo Dela Cruz Aquino (also known as Bejay) has shown the world his latest tattoo in a TikTok video that has gone viral.
@raiinxxx I miss you my little brother. Be happy in paradise now. Thank you @GE @??six volts tattoo shop?? for making this happen. #fyp #fypシ #kapamilyagold❤️ #pangasinense #ofwlife
The 56-second video that was posted earlier this month had garnered more than 10 million views.
The video starts off with a sentence in Tagalog which is directly translated to,
“I told myself before that the next tattoo will be my most memorable, and I will not regret having it.”
Bejay then said that every payday, his younger brother Tirso Junior has never failed to message him with a list of groceries that he wants (candies, snacks, etc.)
“Even before I shipped a package (home), he already had a list of goods for his own.”
However, in June 2022, the grocery lists stopped coming to Bejay as his baby brother had passed away.
In order to remember his beloved sibling, Bejay decided to tattoo his brother’s last grocery list that he wrote a few days before he passed.
He mentioned that it may seem funny to those who don’t know the meaning behind the tattoo.
“As expected, people will laugh at things they don’t understand but I don’t care that much. For me, this is the most beautiful masterpiece I’ve ever had.”
“You will forever and always be my lil’ brother. I miss you brother.”
Many netizens said that the video is so touching and it made them cry.
We extend our condolences to Bejay and his family, may Tirso Junior rest in peace.
