CLAUDINE BARRETTO – Netizens noticed spelling mistakes in the Optimum Star’s new Katakana tattoo featuring her children’s names.
The actress took to Instagram on December 27, 2023, where she unveiled her new tattoo. The symbolic Japanese-themed tattoo, inked by artist Butch Calderon Jr., featured Sakura flowers and the names of Claudine’s four children—Santino, Sabina, Quia, and Noah—in Katakana, one of Japan’s writing systems.

While the artwork garnered admiration for its artistry, it also prompted mixed reactions, particularly due to minor spelling errors in three of the Katakana names. Specifically, Santino was spelled as ‘santeino,’ Sabina as ‘sabi na,’ and Quia as ‘ke-ya.’
This prompted discussions among fans, with some appreciating the artistry, while others, adhering to more conservative views, expressed disapproval. In defense of the tattoo artist, some netizens acknowledged that small errors could occur, attributing them to the limitations of tablets or smartphones when filling out official documents. Regardless, Claudine Barretto expressed her happiness and gratitude for the latest addition to her collection of tattoos.
