While some people choose to get tattoos for aesthetic reasons, most tattoos have some kind of meaning or story behind them. For Gen Z star Heaven Peralejo, getting inked is a way of preserving her most precious memories in life.
Last week, Heaven took a much-needed vacay in Bali and decided that it was the perfect time to grow her collection of body art. The Kapamilya actress opted for not one, not two, but three new tattoos!
Beyond posting photos of her fresh ink on Instagram, Heaven also penned a lengthy caption to explain their respective meanings in depth. Keep scrolling to learn more!
Heaven Peralejo’s Three New Tattoos from Bali, Indonesia
1. Heaven’s first tattoo is a cursive word tattoo that spells “found.” Symbolizing independence and confidence, the tiny tattoo is located just right below her thumb. “With my first solo trip to Bali, I discovered a newfound sense of independence and self-assurance. The word "found" serves as a constant reminder of this whole experience,” she explained online. “In a country unknown to me, I learned to embrace my own company and appreciate the freedom of exploring on my own.”
2. Heaven’s next ink is another minimalist one-word tattoo. She chose to get the word “surrender” inked as well to serve as a reminder of her openness to making mistakes and learning new things. She added, “Letting go of my need for perfection and careful planning, I allowed myself to immerse in the beauty of spontaneity. Each day, I learned to trust the magic of what lays ahead of me.”
3. Heaven’s last tattoo is the biggest and most intricate of the three. Found on the side of her upper arm, the ink shows a long arrow surrounded by circles and sparkles to denote the importance of moving on and letting go. “It embodies forgiveness and self-love, urging me to appreciate every moment and keep moving forward. It serves as a reminder to cherish life's experiences and keep exploring the wonders and beauty of the world we live in,” she wrote.
Overall, these three interconnected tattoos signify the lessons of self-love that she discovered while resting by herself in Indonesia. With or without the ink though, the quick getaway certainly seemed like a memorable trip for Heaven!
Fun fact: This actually isn't the first time Heaven got inked. Previously, she got a matching tattoo of two swallows with her mom, as well as a tiny heart on her upper arm.
