The Cebuana beauty queen made history as she broke the traditional image of a beauty queen in the pageantry world.
During the Miss Universe Philippines competition, she graced the stage with her stunning walk as she proudly flaunted the tattoo on her right arm.
In an interview with GMA’s ‘Unang Hirit’, the beauty queen revealed the meaning of her armband tattoo which she got on her 23rd birthday.
According to the 26-year-old beauty queen, the armband represents the end of her “being a girl” and the cherry blossoms in its details represents her “being a woman.”
Gomez said that it signified her being “blossoming into womanhood”.
The tattoo was done by a Cebuano tattoo artist, Jello Talaboc.
