Introducing The Hablon Collection… my 2026 flash set inspired by my recent time in Iloilo.

Hablon means “to weave” in Hiligaynon, and this textile tradition has been carried by Ilonggo hands for generations, way before Spanish colonization. Getting to sit with the weavers in their communities and witness their craft up close was such a gift. There’s something so powerful about watching a tradition passed down through mothers and grandmothers still going strong today.

I wanted to create something that honours what these weavers are keeping alive, and lets these patterns live on skin the way they’ve lived on cloth. If you’re diaspora and finding your way back home through the work of our ancestors, this one is for you.

Salamat po to every weaver who welcomed me in. I carry you with me.

Each design is one of one, so once it’s claimed, it’s gone! Vancouver books are open at www.inkedbylele.com. Please no booking requests in the DMs.

Which one is calling you?

A little rework and expansion for a piece that needed to grow with her story.

The original circle of flowers wasn’t mine, but I got to build around it… weaving in kalachuchi (plumeria) and banana leaves that live in both her motherland Philippines and her current home in Cuba. Two places, two lineages, one body carrying them both.

I love pieces like this. The ones that let you honour where you’ve been and where you are now, held together on skin. Thank you for trusting me with this next chapter Julia Palmiano Federer 🫶🏽

How do I know if I’m walking the path meant for me?

Because the ancestors are always showing me the signs…

…everywhere I look. 🥹

MANILA 🇵🇭 tattoos for Palestine

July 26 I’ll be tattooing at (162 M. Almeda St., Brgy. San Roque, Pateros) for ’s worldwide flash fundraiser. Artists all over the world doing this together, on the same day, for the same reason. 🇵🇸

So grateful to be sharing this one with fellow like minded artists , , and .

Flash starts at ₱6000, and proceeds go straight to Palestine. Poppies, the key of return, olive branches, watermelon. Small markings that carry so much. A people who are still here, still growing, still finding their way home. 🥹

This is one small way we get to show up for each other. Spots are limited, so DM me to save yours. 🍉🕊️
