$5 Tattoo from 107 year old Artist | Apo Whang-Od 🇵🇭
In this incredible video, join me on my journey to meet the legendary Apo Whang-Od, a 107-year-old tattoo artist in the Philippines. After trekking deep into the mountains and staying for two nights, I had the opportunity to get a tattoo from one of the last traditional Kalinga tattoo artists.
The experience was truly unforgettable as we went back to basics and immersed ourselves in the beautiful surroundings of the Philippines. Apo Whang-Od's skill and precision with her art form are truly remarkable, and her dedication to preserving her cultural heritage is an inspiration to all.
Not only was this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet a true legend, but it was also a chance to witness history in the making. Apo Whang-Od was recently featured in Vogue Magazine in April 2023, showcasing her incredible talent and the impact she has had on the world.
Don't miss this amazing video that takes you on a journey into the heart of the Philippines and introduces you to one of the most remarkable artists of our time. Learn about Apo Whang-Od's fascinating life, including the fact that she was born in 1917, and witness her incredible talent in action as she creates a beautiful tattoo that will stay with me forever.

If anyone can help support the channel, you can by clicking on the 💲 "Super Thanks" button above or buying me a coffee! buymeacoffee.com/marcoroams 😁 The funds go towards helping people, coming up with exciting videos and covering costs. Thank you 🙏🏽 ATTENTION: I did not kick the lady out of the front seat. When the trip was booked, it was pre organised with the company for me to be in the front because I’m way too tall to fit in the back of a Hiace for that long (I would have made other arrangements) - The person who was in the front took the front seat with out knowing. I literally did feel a bit bad, that’s why I spoke with the driver while we were on the way and he’s exact words were “it’s alright, she said it’s okay” As most of you know, I’m like to play around and be funny in my vlogs, maybe my humour style was misinterpreted (and I can understand that, im from Australia, we are a different breed) In response to the person who made the news article about it … You should have contacted me first to get the story … without just calling me out we being “a white sexpat” 😂 #fakenews To that person, I truely appreciate that you changed seats and were okay with it. (My legs would have fallen off)

Hi there, just subbed. Just wanted to thank you. This is BY FAR the best vid I have seen by a KZfaqr in the Philippines. I'm a tattooed guy that has been several times and have a filipina partner. Really like your style, how polite and friendly you are to the local people. It is so humbling in my opinion going there. Sometimes it seems some KZfaqrs and tourists in general can treat developing countries as their personal playgrounds and do not show respect and humility. You are a great example of how one should be when in another's country. Cheers

Not the easiest thing to do when you visit other countries so I admire what you're doing👍👍. Just make sure you stay on the safe side, man. Good luck.

Whang Od is a kalinga. The Kalinga tribe in the Philippines is believed to have originated from the Kalingas of ancient India. According to historians, the Kalingas of ancient India were a powerful tribe that controlled the region of present-day Odisha. They were known for their fierce warrior culture and skilled metalworkers. During the reign of the Indian Emperor Ashoka in the 3rd century BCE, the Kalingas were defeated in a brutal war. Ashoka, moved by the horrors of the war, converted to Buddhism and vowed to never again wage war. it is believed that some of the Kalingas, possibly including metalworkers, migrated to Southeast Asia and eventually settled in the Philippines. The present-day Kalinga tribe in the Philippines still retains some of the cultural practices and traditions of their ancient Indian ancestors, such as metalworking and tattoos.
