THE FACES OF TATTOO
The youthful passion that characterizes Tattoo is best personified in its brand ambassadors: runner Rio Dela Cruz, artist Sarah Gaugler, cosplay queen Alodia Gosiengfiao, blogger Rico Mossesgeld, Tumblr trendsetter Saab Magalona, and femme rockers General Luna, all of whom excel in their respective fields without sacrificing personal style or identity.
ALODIA GOSIENGFIAO

SARAH GAUGLER
Multi-faceted Sarah is hard to miss. One moment, she’s making her mark with needles, inking tattoos for her new and steady stream of patrons.

Every day, Sarah makes heads turn with her numerous billboards, magazine covers, and several modeling engagements in the local fashion and art scene. And if that’s not enough, Sarah’s talent goes from front act to backstage as a freelance illustrator and graphic designer, with her artwork seen on album covers of popular local bands. Christened “the anti-IT girl”, Sarah’s personal style is strongly individualistic and expressive in a way rarely seen these days. Never shy to showcase her unique point of view, Sarah is an ideal choice for the new Globe Tattoo. See what else she can do on her fan page, http://www.facebook.com/sarahdemetriagaugler.
