The Pintados de Passi started out in 1999 as a way to remember the city\u2019s part in our country\u2019s heritage. Tattooing has long been a part of Visayan culture, even before the arrival of the Spaniards. Pintados, <\/em>or painted man, was the term the Spaniards used to describe the men they saw on the island. Back then, it was seen as a show of bravery for men: the more tattoos you had, the higher your status is as a warrior.<\/p>\n

Pintados de Passi is celebrated every third week of March. It is as much a way of recognizing Passi\u2019s cityhood as it is a showcase of the city\u2019s cultural heritage.<\/p>\n
