want and I can't wait to see what you  choose Gary sighed and he started talking  

at kaya ko' t wait to see what you choose Gary sighed and he started talking

about something else that was the other thing  the thing that Gary couldn't talk to anyone

about he didn't think it matters why did you need that tattoo to tell the world

about yourself why couldn't you just  be yourself dress how you want it talk  

about sarili mo bakit hindi mo na lang sarilinin ang damit kung paano mo gusto ito magsalita

how you want it and so on people know  who you are just by talking to you on

kung paano mo ito gusto at iba pa, alam ng mga tao kung sino ka sa pakikipag-usap lang sa iyo sa

day but no the tattoo was important what  you chose for your tattoos said what you  

araw ngunit hindi mahalaga ang tattoo kung ano ang pinili mo para sa iyong mga tattoo sinabi kung ano ang iyong

thought what you liked who you were some  people got tattoos of their pets or strong  

naisip kung ano ang nagustuhan mo kung sino ka ilang mga tao ay nagpa-tattoo ng kanilang mga alagang hayop o malalakas

animals like lions or stars or moons  or whatever some people got words in  

na hayop tulad ng mga leon o mga bituin o buwan o kung ano pa man ang ilang mga tao ay nakakuha ng mga salita sa mga

foreign languages some people got simple  shapes actually Gary didn't know what  

banyagang wika ang ilang mga tao ay may mga simpleng hugis talagang hindi alam ni Gary kung ano ang

he could get for several years when he  thought about getting a tattoo he felt

makukuha niya sa loob ng ilang taon noong naisipan niyang magpatattoo nakaramdam siya ng

anxious he knew who he was but he  couldn't take CL and put her in a  

pagkabalisa alam niya kung sino siya ngunit hindi niya magawang kunin si CL at ilagay sa isang

picture it was more than that  more than just a few words or  

larawan ito ay higit pa sa ilang salita o

a shape people thought it was bad to tell  other people what your tattoo was going to

hugis na iniisip ng mga tao na masamang sabihin sa ibang tao. kung ano ang magiging tattoo mo

be of course many people talked about  it Gary's friends had told him what  

siyempre maraming tao ang nag-usap tungkol dito sinabi sa kanya ng mga kaibigan ni Gary kung anong

tattoos they wanted they knew what  they wanted so when they asked Gary  

mga tattoo ang gusto nila alam nila kung ano ang gusto nila kaya nang tanungin nila si Gary

what he wanted he told them he  knew but he didn't want to tell

kung ano ang gusto niya sinabi niya sa kanila na alam niya ngunit ayaw niyang sabihin sa

them one day his mom found out that  he was anxious about his tattoo she  

kanila . isang araw nalaman ng nanay niya na nababalisa siya sa tattoo niya

told him it was normal that many people get  anxious so just get it in a hidden Place get  

sinabi niya sa kanya na normal lang na maraming tao ang nababalisa kaya kunin mo na lang ito sa tagong Lugar

it on your palp if you need to Mom but it  was true most people got their tattoos on  

kung kailangan mo kay Nanay pero totoo na karamihan sa mga tao ay nakakuha ng kanilang mga tattoo sa

their arm or leg so they couldn't show  it to people some people really wanted  

kanilang braso o binti kaya hindi nila ito maipakita sa mga tao na may mga taong gustong malaman ng

the world to know who they were so they  got their tattoo on their head or their

mundo kung sino sila kaya pinatattoo nila ang kanilang ulo o

hand some people wanted to keep it  hidden so they got it in their back  

kamay ng ilang tao na gustong itago ito kaya nakuha nila ito sa kanilang likod

or the bottom of their foot or  yes their bum but those people  

o sa ilalim ng kanilang paa o oo ang kanilang bukol ngunit ang mga taong iyon ay

often got treated badly these days  it wasn't cool to get it a hidden

madalas na tratuhin ng masama sa mga araw na ito ay hindi cool na kumuha ito ng isang nakatagong

tattoo the day after your 18th  birthday everyone wanted to see  

tattoo sa araw pagkatapos ng iyong ika-18 na kaarawan ay gusto ng lahat na makita

it so if it was hidden they sometimes took  your clothes off and took a picture anyway  

ito kaya kung ito ay nakatago minsan ay kinuha nila tanggalin mo ang damit mo at nagpa-picture kahit papano

Gary did not want that Gary knew that  there were some people who didn't get

ayaw ni Gary na alam ni Gary na may mga taong hindi nagpatattoo

tattoos one of his ankles was like that but  he had never met him his family didn't like  

ang isa niyang bukung-bukong ay ganoon pero hindi pa niya ito nakikilala ayaw din siyang

to talk about him either Gary didn't understand  why why were people who didn't get tattoos treated

pag-usapan ng kanyang pamilya. Hindi maintindihan ni Gary kung bakit iba ang pakikitungo sa mga taong hindi nagpatattoo

differently they were seen as  strange people said they were  

ay nakikita sila bilang mga kakaibang tao na nagsasabing sila ay

like children because children didn't  have tattoos they often couldn't get  

mga bata dahil ang mga bata ay walang mga tattoo madalas ay hindi sila makakuha ng

jobs because their boss wanted to  know who they were who they really

trabaho dahil ang kanilang amo ay gustong malaman kung sino sila ay kung sino talaga sila

were and if someone didn't have a tattoo  they were hiding something weren't they  

at kung ang isang tao ay walang tattoo may itinatago sila hindi ba

so Gary knew that one day he would probably  have to get a tattoo he could keep saying  

kaya alam ni Gary na isang araw ay malamang na kailangan niyang magpatattoo ay maaari niyang paulit-ulit na humindi

no but one day he would have to on the day  of his 18th birthday his parents took him  

ngunit isang araw ay kailangan niya sa araw ng kanyang ika-18 na kaarawan ay dinala siya ng kanyang mga magulang

to the tattoo paror of course they did they  had booked an appointment months in advance  

sa tattoo paror syempre ginawa nila na nagpa-book sila ng appointment ilang buwan nang maaga

without telling him Gary didn't want to go he  said he wanted to go and see his friends but  

nang hindi sinasabi sa kanya na ayaw pumunta ni Gary sinabi niya na gusto niyang pumunta at makita ang kanyang mga kaibigan ngunit ang

his parents had booked the appointment for 10:  a.m. and they couldn't change it when Gary got  

kanyang mga magulang ay nag-book ng appointment para sa 10: am at hindi nila ito mapapalitan nang makarating si Gary

there he went into a room with a tattoo artist  the tattoo artist was a woman was maybe 40 or

doon ay pumasok siya sa isang silid sa isang tattoo artist ang tattoo artist ay isang babae ay maaaring 40 o

50 she had lots of tattoos of course all tattoo  artists did they were the only people who could  

50 siya ay nagkaroon ng maraming mga tattoo siyempre lahat ng mga tattoo artist ay sila lamang ang mga tao na maaaring

get more than one tattoo well other people could  but they were treated as strange wasn't one

makakuha ng higit sa isang tattoo na mahusay ang ibang mga tao ngunit sila ay tratuhin bilang kakaiba ay ' t one

enough Gary was surprised that  that tattoo artist was a woman  

enough Nagulat si Gary na ang tattoo artist na iyon ay babae

usually men got tattoos from other men  and women got from other women but his  

kadalasan ang mga lalaki ay nagpa-tattoo mula sa ibang mga lalaki at mga babae na nakuha mula sa ibang mga babae ngunit ang kanyang

parents had probably chosen a woman  because it might make him feel less

mga magulang ay malamang na pumili ng isang babae dahil ito ay maaaring mabawasan ang kanyang

anxious or maybe it was the only appointment  they could get anyway she was very friendly  

pagkabalisa o marahil ito lamang ang appointment nila. kahit papaano ay napaka-friendly niya

she gave him a cup of tea and asked what  things he liked what his Hobbies were if  

binigyan niya siya ng isang tasa ng tsaa at tinanong kung ano ang mga bagay na gusto niya kung ano ang kanyang mga Libangan kung

he had any pets or people he really loved his  parents must have told her he was anxious about  

mayroon siyang anumang mga alagang hayop o mga taong mahal niya talaga ang kanyang mga magulang ay dapat sinabi sa kanya ng kanyang mga magulang na siya ay nababalisa tungkol

it it made it worse Gary did have a lots of  things he loved of course but none of them  

dito ito ay nagpalala kay Gary ay nagkaroon ng maraming mga bagay na gusto niya siyempre ngunit wala sa mga ito

were so special none of them were so great  that he wanted them tattoo on his body and  

ay napaka-espesyal wala sa mga ito ay napakahusay na gusto niya ang mga ito ng tattoo sa kanyang katawan at

where could he get it he didn't want one  where everyone could see it but he didn't  

saan siya makakakuha nito hindi niya gusto ang isa kung saan makikita ito ng lahat ngunit siya ayokong

want want to be treated badly but the guys at  the school and then Gary had an idea can I get  

tratuhin ng masama pero yung mga lalaki sa school tapos may idea si Gary pwede ba magpatattoo

a tattoo on my head the tattoo artist looked  very surprised well yes you can but you have  

sa ulo yung tattoo artist mukhang nagulat talaga oo kaya mo pero ang dami mong

a lot of hair nobody will be able to see it and  I can't tattoo you until you get your hair cut

buhok nobody will be able to see it and I can't tattoo you until you get your hair stood up

Gary stood up could you wait while I go to  the barber then the tattoo artist side and  

Gary stood up can you wait while I go to the barber then the tattoo artist side and

checked her watch all right but big quick Gary  ran out his parents were waiting outside the

room and they were surprised to see him don't have  time to explain he said I'm going to The Barbers  

kwarto at nagulat sila ng makitang wala siyang time magpaliwanag sabi niya pupunta ako sa The Barbers

his parents probably thought he was going to get a  tattoo on the side of his head that was a popular

akala siguro ng parents niya magpapa-tattoo siya sa gilid ng ulo niya na sikat na

fashion yes it meant you had to cut your hair  short but it looked really cool but Gary didn't  

fashion oo ibig sabihin. you had to cut your hair short but it looks really cool pero ayaw ni Gary

na sinabi niya sa barbero na gusto niyang ahit lahat ng buhok niya nagulat ang lalaki

surprised but you're so young you have  wonderful hair do you really want to go  

pero napakabata mo ang ganda ng buhok mo ba talaga want to go

bold yes yes and I don't have much time so the  barber shaved all his hair off and Gary was

bold yes yes and I don't have much time so the barber shaved all his hair off and Gary was

bold he looked very strange but he didn't care sabi niya thank you

pet The Barber and then ran back  to the tattoo artist oh my God  

pet The Barber at saka tumakbo pabalik sa tattoo. artist oh my God

said his mother when she saw him but  she didn't have time to say anything

sabi ng nanay nya nung nakita sya pero wala na syang oras na mag salita pa

else because he was already back in the room with  a tattoo artist I'm ready he said panting and I  

dahil bumalik na sya sa kwarto may kasamang tattoo artist I'm ready he said humihingal at

know what I want nobody liked Gary's tattoo  firstly it wasn't original everyone wanted  

alam ko ang gusto ko walang nagkagusto kay Gary. tattoo una hindi original lahat gusto

an original tattoo and Garis was just a simple x  shape lots of people had those but they usually  

ng orihinal na tattoo at ang Garis ay simpleng x shape lang maraming tao ang may mga ganyan pero kadalasan

got something with the X to make it more original  but not gar he just had a big X shape of course  

may nakuha silang X para mas original pero hindi gar meron lang syang malaking X shape syempre

the place he got that tattoo was very original too  original his friends all thought it was funny they  

the place he got that tattoo was very original too original his friends all thought it was funny sabi nila

said that only Gary could get a tattoo on the  top of his head so it was perfect for him but  

Gary lang daw ang pwedeng magpa-tattoo sa tuktok ng ulo niya kaya bagay na bagay sa kanya pero

his parents hated it and his girlfriend Claire  really hated it weeks passed Gary's Hair started  

kinasusuklaman ito ng mga magulang niya at ayaw talaga ng girlfriend niyang si Claire. lumipas ang mga linggo Nagsimula muli ang paglaki ng Buhok ni Gary

to grow again his friends stopped laughing about  his tattoo and life started being normal again  

ang kanyang mga kaibigan ay tumigil sa pagtawa tungkol sa kanyang tattoo at ang buhay ay nagsimulang maging normal muli

but then the questions started when are you going  to get a real one asked his dad I mean that was a  

ngunit pagkatapos ay nagsimula ang mga tanong kung kailan ka magkakaroon ng tunay na tanong sa kanyang ama I mean that was a

funny joke Gary but you need a real tattoo you  can't go bowl every time you want to show it  

funny joke Gary but you need isang tunay na tattoo hindi ka maaaring mag bowl sa tuwing gusto mong ipakita ito

to someone Gary couldn't believe it he had done  the thing that everyone wanted hadn't he so why  

sa isang tao na hindi makapaniwala si Gary na nagawa niya ang bagay na gusto ng lahat hindi ba kaya bakit

was it a problem but his dad wasn't the only one  Claire asked him to get a new tattoo every day she  

may problema ngunit hindi lang ang kanyang ama one Claire asked him to get a new tattoo every day she

Drew pictures for him texted him ideas finally  it was too much for him and he stopped seeing  

Drew pictures for him texted him ideas finally it was too much for him and he stopped seeing

her Gary didn't get a new tattoo of course the  first one had heart and it cost a lot of money  

her Gary didn't get a new tattoo of course the first one had heart and it cost a maraming pera

yes his parents had pet for it but he hated that  they pet for something he didn't want and really  

oo ang kanyang mga magulang ay may alagang hayop para dito ngunit kinaiinisan niya na sila ay nag-aalaga para sa isang bagay na hindi niya gusto at talagang

he didn't like the tattoo to had gten it was fun  but it really didn't look good Gary's Hair grew  

hindi niya gusto ang tattoo na nakuha ito ay masaya ngunit ito ay talagang hindi maganda ang hitsura ni Gary Lumaki ang buhok.

and soon you couldn't see the tattoo at all he  was happy with this and he didn't feel anxious  

at sa lalong madaling panahon ay hindi mo makita ang tattoo sa lahat siya ay nasiyahan dito at hindi na siya nakakaramdam ng pagkabalisa

anymore he could forget that it was there  but of course this just made everyone else

makakalimutan niya na nandiyan ito ngunit siyempre nagalit lamang ito sa lahat fine

angry fine Gary had gotten a bad  tattoo but now he was hiding it  

Nagkaroon ng masamang tattoo si Gary ngunit ngayon siya tinatago mo

from the world you can't get a tattoo  there and then cover it with hair said  

sa mundo hindi ka magpapatattoo dun tapos takpan mo ng buhok sabi ng

his mother you should shave off  all your hair again or get a new

nanay nya ahit mo ulit lahat ng buhok mo o magpatattoo ka na lang

tattoo no said Gary I won't do it I got  the tattoo okay you should be happy now  

hindi sabi ni Gary hindi ko gagawin I got the tattoo okay dapat masaya ka na ngayon

I don't have to be like everyone else Gary  went to University and there there he had  

hindi ko na kailangang maging katulad ng iba nagpunta si Gary sa Unibersidad at doon

more problems everyone showed each other  their tattoos it was a great way to make  

mas nagkaroon siya ng mga problema lahat ay nagpakita sa isa't isa ng kanilang mga tattoo ito ay isang magandang paraan upang makipagkaibigan

friends because you could talk about  why you got your tattoo like that and  

dahil maaari mong pag-usapan kung bakit ka nagpatattoo ganyan at

when someone had a hidden tattoo everyone  wanted to know where it was and what it

kapag may nakatagong tattoo ang lahat ay gustong malaman kung nasaan ito at kung ano iyon,

was Gary told nobody where his tattoo was several  girls tried to sleep with him because they thought  

sinabi ni Gary na walang sinuman kung nasaan ang kanyang tattoo maraming babae ang sumubok na matulog sa kanya dahil naisip nila na

he might have it on his bump when people  found out where it really was they were not

baka mayroon siya nito sa kanyang bukol kapag nalaman ng mga tao kung saan ito. talagang hindi sila

happy some boys from the football  team went into his room at night  

natuwa ilang mga lalaki mula sa football team ang pumasok sa kanyang silid sa gabi

and shaved all his hair off the  next day everyone saw his tattoo  

at nag-ahit ng lahat ng kanyang buhok kinabukasan ay nakita ng lahat ang kanyang tattoo

and laughed at him what about tattoo  they said it could be better to have

at pinagtawanan siya kung ano ang tungkol sa tattoo na sinabi nila na maaaring mas mahusay na

known until then Gary had been thinking about  getting another tattoo it was just too hard  

malaman hanggang pagkatapos ay Gary ay nag-iisip na magpa-tattoo, mahirap lang

with his x-shaped one but now he knew that  he could never get one this was who he was  

sa kanyang hugis-x ngunit ngayon alam niya na hinding-hindi niya makukuha ito kung sino siya

and he found out that there was a word for it  tless tless people were people who couldn't get  

at nalaman niya na may isang salita para dito na ang mga tao ay mga tao na hindi makapag

tattoos or didn't want tattoos some tless people  had tattoos but they removed them or they never  

-tattoo o ayaw magpa-tattoo may mga taong may mga tattoo pero inalis nila ito o hindi na nila

showed them to people tlist finally Gary met other  tless people he was very anxious but when he met  

ipinakita sa mga tao

them he knew that they were his people they  understood what it was like to be treated so  

. naunawaan nila kung ano ang pakiramdam ng tratuhin nang

badly they understood why he didn't want a tattoo  and they thought he was great for that tattoo he

masama naiintindihan nila kung bakit ayaw niya ng tattoo at naisip nila na mahusay siya para sa tattoo na iyon na

got Gary liked one of the tless girls very much  and they started dating they had to keep their  

nakuha niya na nagustuhan ni Gary ang isa sa mga tless na babae at nagsimula silang makipag-date kailangan nilang panatilihin ang kanilang

love hidden of course if Gary's parents knew  he had a tless girlfriend they couldn't be

love hidden syempre kung alam ng parents ni Gary na may tless girlfriend siya hindi sila matutuwa

happy many times garr's girlfriend said you  know you could get that tattoo removed I  

ng ilang beses sinabi ng girlfriend ni garr alam mo na matatanggal yung tattoo alam kong

know it's hidden but it's so much better  when it's removed when mine was removed  

nakatago pero mas maganda pag tinanggal nung natanggal yung akin

I felt amazing and it's very safe I have  a friend who does it but guard said not  

naramdaman ko. amazing and it's very safe I have a friend who do it but guard said not

it's hidden that's enough if I can't see it  it doesn't matter Gary and Kyle is tail to  

hidden it's enough if I can't see it bale magkabuntot si Gary at Kyle

together over the years when Gary Grew Older  he started going bold he had been woring about

sa mga nakaraang taon nang si Gary Lumaki si Gary nagsimula siyang maging matapang. pinag-aalala niya

this now his tattoo couldn't be hidden and  he would have to remember everything that had  

ito ngayon hindi na maitatago ang tattoo niya at kailangan niyang maalala ang lahat ng nangyari

happened he hadn't talked to his parents in years  and he didn't want to remember the day he got that

ilang taon na niyang hindi nakakausap ang mga magulang niya at ayaw niyang maalala ang araw na nagpa-

tattoo so he decided to get it removed but  first he had to shave off all his hair Kyle  

tattoo siya. nagpasya siyang tanggalin pero kailangan muna niyang ahit lahat ng buhok niya

did it for him Gary closed his eyes and Kyle  shaved it very quickly I don't believe it said

ginawa ni Kyle para sa kanya Pumikit si Gary at napakabilis naman ni Kyle hindi ako makapaniwalang sabi ni Kyle kung ano ang sinabi ni

Kyle what said Gary who was so anxious that  he didn't want to open his eyes did you have  

Gary na sabik na sabik na hindi niya ginawa. gusto mong imulat ang mata niya
