Ever since we've been introduced to Chloe San Jose during Carlos Yulo's recent (and v successful) Olympic run, we've been obsessed with her. From being a lover girl with Carlos—she's just like us, fr—to her IG baddie-approved poses and gutsy clapbacks, Chloe is definitely worth giving a follow online.
Another thing we love about her? Her tattoos. ICYDK, Chloe has quite a few inked all over her body that we spotted in pictures online. We recently got the chance to chat with her and ofc, we had to ask her all about them (and take exclusive pics!). Check them out below for your future tattoo inspo:
LOOK: Chloe San Jose's Tattoos And The Meanings Behind Them
Red "angel" in Japanese
The most prominent tattoo on her body, Chloe got the word "angel" tattooed in red ink on her upper arm. If you have low pain tolerance, you might want to consider this area when getting tattooed since it's said to be one of the easier ones to get inked on.
Red "333" angel number
On the same arm as her "angel" tattoo, Chloe also got the angel number "333" inked in red on her wrist. "It's the one I feel most connected with...palagi [ko] nakikita," she explained to Cosmo. ICYDK, this angel number is associated with femininity, creativity, and intuition.
Red "kalayaan" in baybayin
On her other arm, Chloe got the word "kalayaan" in baybayin in red ink. When we asked why all her tattoos—save for the angel number—are in foreign languages, Chloe explained that she likes the fact that people have to ask her for the meanings behind her tattoos, instead of drawing their own conclusions. "It's also a good conversation starter," she adds.
P.S. This is also her third tattoo that's colored in red ink. If you're interested in getting one in different colors, it's important to always schedule a regular touch-up session with your tattoo artist since colored tatts tend to fade faster than just ones done in black ink.
"Be brave" in Spanish
Chloe's fourth tattoo is "be brave" in Spanish written in flowing script, located above her elbow.
For the girlies who work in more conservation and low-key offices, the back of the arm might be a good placement for your ink. It's not as easily seen, plus you can always hide it with quarter- or full-length sleeves when needed!
