Manny Pacquiao opens tattoo shop in US



MANILA, Philippines - He already owns high-end fashion boutiques and apparels, coffee shop, water refilling and gas stations and has a best selling music album. But People's Champ Manny Pacquiao has no plans of slowing down.

During the “Redhorse Pambansang Muziklaban: Francis Magalona Tribute” on Saturday, Pacquiao revealed that he has a new business venture – a tattoo shop in Los Angeles, California.

He tapped Chris Garcia, also known as "Champion Ink," as his business partner.

"Magandang karangalan ito na makasama ko siya sa tattoo shop dahil isa siya sa mga pinakamagaling mag-tattoo dito sa atin and I'm very proud of him. Marami siyang tina-tattoo-han, mga sikat na actors, Hollywood actors, mga singers at marami pang iba. Sana malayo ang marating namin," said Pacquiao.

The eight-world division champion, who is a tattoo enthusiast, said he is looking forward to have a new tattoo when he flies back to LA for his training.

"Pagbalik ko sa LA magpapa-tattoo ako sa kanya (Garcia) ng Panther dito sa kamay ko," Pacquiao added.

Garcia, on the other hand, said he is overwhelmed to be the "Fighter of the Decade’s" business partner.

"Ibang klaseng pakiramdam. Napaka-sarap ng pakiramdam, napaka-sarap marinig ang mga salitang 'yon mula sa isang Manny Pacquiao na idolo ng lahat ng tao sa Pilipinas, sa bansa. Napakalaking karangalan sa akin na mapili," said Garcia.

"It represents the excellence synonymous to Manny Pacquiao. Pagkasinabi mo 'yong pangalan ni Manny, ang unang papasok sa isip mo ay absolute excellence kaya 'yon ang gusto naming i-offer sa shop niya, nothing but absolute best," the US-based Filipino tattoo artist added.
