Whang Od: The Kalinga Tattoo Maker


Tattoos have created a huge culture since it started to be known as a way to express oneself, which also became an expression of art. However, where did it all really start? One way to know is to converse with the oldest traditional tattoo maker in the country. Whang Od's tattoo shop, that doubles as her house, is already known to be a tourist destination, more so to tattoo enthusiasts. Whang Od is the last Kalinga Tattoo Maker to date, but we're hoping she would teach the craft to ensure the continuity of this practice. Watch and get to know more about Whang Od in this video by Looking For Stories.
