WHANG OD and the FOREIGNER - 105 YEARS OLD TATTOO ARTIST

This philippines vlog is NOT your average travel vlog, this is a journey into the unknown and we want you to come with us.
Whang-od Oggay born February 17, 1917, also known as Maria Oggay, is a Filipina tattoo artist from Buscalan, Tinglayan, Kalinga, Philippines. She is often described as the "last" and oldest mambabatok (traditional Kalinga tattooist) and is part of the Butbut people of the larger Kalinga ethnic group.

She has been tattooing headhunters and women of the indigenous people of Butbut in Buscalan, Kalinga, since she was 15 years old, but the Butbut warriors who used to earn tattoos by protecting villages or removing enemies no longer exist. Despite this, Whang-od continues to practice her traditional art form on tourists visiting Buscalan.

We take the 12 hour road trip in the hope of not just meeting the legendary Whang-od but to be tattooed by her.

There have been many foreigners who have traveled to the north of the philippines on the epic journey but this one is ours and we hope you enjoy this epic adventure and life journey.
