freudian-bitch: The Last Kalinga Tattoo Artist Photo and caption by Michal Duchek A fascinating culture of the Igorot people brought me and my girlfriend to Kalinga. Head-hunting ceased decades ago, however, the motifs of Kalinga tattoos and the way they are being tattoed remains the same (charcoal and an orange thorn). We decided to visit this beautiful tribeswoman who is the last Kalinga tattoo artist. After a few days, long hours spent on buses and jeepneys, we were lucky to find a local guide Francis who brought us to Buscalan. We were overwhelmed how hospitable and friendly she is. Her natural beauty and her tattoo tempted me to ask her for a pose outside her dwelling. source: nationalgeographic.com It’s Apo Whang Od! One of the most respected elders in regards to our tattooing cultures and the increasing revival of them.
