Claudine Barretto is capping off the year with a new tattoo, revealing it to fans last Wednesday, December 27, on Instagram.
LOOK: Claudine Barretto Reveals New Tattoo
Claudine got inked by tattoo artist Butch Calderon Jr., who was overjoyed to have her in his studio. He wrote in his social media posts: "Before 2023 ends!! Thank you [ma'am] Claudine Barreto [heart emoji]. Isang karangalan po na magawan ko kayo."
Symbolic of Japan, the tattoo features Sakura flowers in bloom and the names of Claudine's four children—Santino, Sabina, Quia, and Noah—in Katakana.
Netizens React to Claudine Barretto's New Tattoo
While Claudine's new ink received admiration for its artistry, it also sparked mixed reactions. Some fans appreciated the beautifully crafted body art, while others, with more conservative views, disapproved of the 44-year-old celebrity mom's choice.
However, a notable point of discussion arose when keen observers pointed out minor spelling errors in three of the Katakana names. Netizens noticed that Santino was spelled 'santeino.'
Similarly, someone observed that Sabina was spelled separately, as in 'sabi na.'
Lastly, Quia, pronounced 'ki-a,' was spelled as 'ke-ya.'
In defense of the tattoo artist, Katakana readers acknowledged that such small errors can occur. One Instagram user explained that limitations on tablets or smartphones may lead to character interchanges when filling out official documents.
Regardless, Claudine expressed her happiness and gratitude for the newest addition to her collection of tattoos.
