"Darah Juang" tattoo

 

This tattoo were made a year ago, but its meaning is memorable (and that’s why it’s worthy to get a tattoo of this). It’s a lyric of “Darah Juang”, a hymn composed by John Tobing, and written by Dadang Juliantara and Budiman Sujatmiko. The hymn is a reflection of the social condition in Indonesia at the time (in the New Order era, which might prolongs until today). The song was first sang in The 1st FKMY Congress in 1991, and until today, most Indonesian activists know this song well and it’s a hymn on every social demonstration/protest occasion; expressing the spirit of social-awareness in Indonesia.
