From the heart of the Philippines, Whang-od Oggay is the last of her kind—an embodiment of Kalinga's rich tattoo tradition. Whang-od is a renowned tattoo artist from the Butbut tribe in the Philippines. She is often referred to as the "last" and oldest mambabatok, a traditional Kalinga tattooist. Whang-od practices a traditional tattooing technique called pambabatok, using a thorn and ink made from soot. This method has been passed down through generations in her tribe. The tattoos she creates often have cultural and spiritual significance, representing bravery, protection, and identity.
