Dave Bautista diisplays his #pinoypride for all to see

It is hard to miss Dave Bautista's newest tattoo.

There's a scene in the just released movie Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery when  Dave Bautista takes off his shirt revealing his tattoos. Instead of covering up the body art with makeup, director Rian Johnson allowed the tattoos become part of the character portrayed by Bautista.

Smack dab in the middle of the sizable chest of the former pro-wrestling champion is his newest tattoo, the Philippine sun found on that nation's flag.

When the Filipino Greek American actor first unveiled his newest tattoo on Instagram he captioned it: "I've officially crossed the line. Oh well! I gotta be me!" He used the hashtags #barbarianmode, #dreamchaser and #pinoypride.

He already has a Philippine sun and a Greek flag tatooed on his left arm.

Bautista was born on January 18, 1969 to Donna Raye and David Michael Bautista. On his mother’s side, the family is of Greek heritage. His father, David, is the son of Filipino immigrants.

But in his latest movie, the Philippine sun is hard to miss with its eight rays representing the eight provinces. The symbol within the sun appears to be an Eye of Providence, most commonly associated with dollar bills and Illuminati conspiracists.

The last is in reference to Bautista's Filipino heritage, reflected in the new tattoo, an eight-pointed sun as seen in the flag of the Philippines (which he also has etched on his left bicep). The symbol within the sun appears to be an Eye of Providence, most commonly associated with dollar bills and Illuminati conspiracists.

Glass Onion was released in theaters Nov. 23 and a month later it became available for streaming on Netflix.

The other Philippines-related tattoo that has garnered recent attention is the one he had erased.

He had a tattoo of pugilist Manny Pacquiao, who for a time was the symbol of Filipino pride when he reigned over the boxing world as a champion. However, when the boxer made some homophobic remarks, Bautista had the tattoo removed.

“It used to be a team logo,” Bautista said in a clip posted on social media. “I was part of a team of a person I considered a friend and someone I really looked up to. And then, he later came out publicly with some anti-gay statements and turned out to be an extreme homophobe,” he added.

“So, I had a huge issue with it. It’s a personal issue with me. My mom’s a lesbian. And I just could no longer call him a friend. So, I had it covered up,” Bautista added.
