Visiting the 106 Year Old Tattoo Artist of the Philippines! 🇵🇭
In a small town called Buscalan, surrounded by rice fields in the north of the Philippines, lives the worlds oldest tattoo artist, 106 year old Whang-Od. If you take the long trip there you can visit her and get a traditional tattoo! This is our experience.
From Manila we took a 12 hour overnight bus to the town of Sagada. From here we rented a scooter and took a scenic two hour trip to the town of Buscalan. Before the town their is a tourist centre and you need to get a guide to visit the town. It's a 45 minute hike into the town. Before meeting Whang-Od we got some Kalinga traditional Tattoos from some young apprentices. They use thorns from the Pomelo tree to jab you and the ink is just charcoal and water. Finally we got to meet the legendary Wong-Od. The tiny 106 year old tattoos out in the open in a little dirt patch for anyone to observe. She gives everyone her signature 3 dots, symbolizing her and two grandnieces.
The town considers Wong-Od a treasure since she has brought a lot of fortune and prosperity to the community. She is truly a remarkable lady and the most bad ass person in the Philippines!

I believe they are done :(
for a 106 yr old having still a good eyesight is unbelievable. not to mention her health is still good.
100% the most underrated channel on KZread. Thanks so much for the effort you put in to creating escapism for urban prisoners like me. Love you guys.

seriously, i have NO IDEA how the algorithm only brought me here now!
Apo Wang Od is in a very good mood with you two to have you kiss and hug her. You are very lucky she is not always in that mood.

It’s cause they were hot obviously.. lol!
It's ok to get tattoo from those girls, even if it's their first time, it's still authentic because they're from the same tribe and most are related. And someday they'll be legends too..way back i see 10 yr olds practice their tattoo first time to foreigners too maybe some of them are what you're meeting now
Hi guys welcome to the Philippines .thank you very much for coming and visiting our country ..love you guys
it's nice to see the tribal elders passing on the tradition of their tattooing culture to their young ones.
This is one of my bucket list when I get home in few years. I am from the otherside of her town but I left the Philippines 30yrs ago to Canada. Thanks for this vlog.

By the way, just to avoid confusion, the reason why this account has comments that sound like two different people use it is because my Canadian friend's mom and I share this account.
I will visit this place in a near future. Watching from the USA. I love the Filipino hospitality. The culture is beautiful ❤❤❤.

Nice to see you for visiting the pride tattoo artist in my country🇵🇭
thank you for showing love to our one and only great Apo Wang Od!
You guys are awesome very lucky. I would love to visit the Philippines my parents are from around or close to there. I’m Illocano and would love to get her signatures tattoo and maybe a traditional one to add to the ones I got. Keep up the good work and proud that you are showing lots of people on you tube of the great Philippines
That was very respectful of you to do the "mano po" gesture with her.
Whang-Od is crazy, funny & BEAUTIFUL!!
Hello! New subscriber here in Southern California. Enjoy your adventures in Philippines.💪❤️
She definitely doesn’t look 106! And so true she is a certified baddie
Love your content! Been watching all your Philippine vids
what a breath of fresh air you guys are. you have done your research and it shows. one word of advice is to tip those who show you their place. 5 us dollars is day salary for most of us.

you guys are lucky because there is no customer. when we go there, it's so many people need to get a tattoo that's why we need to sleep over to our guide house to get a tattoo in the morning.

That's deadly you got to spend lots of time with Apo. Could I ask around what time did you get to her and how much was the tour guide please? It's a great vid! 😊
now you mentioned about the infamous checking of the middle man, its like she is sizing up for what she is going to give you hahaha
That scooter ride looks safe
Im one of her fans and one tobhave her tattoo she the oldest tattoo artist in the planet,im from indonesia and i really want to have her tattoo signature...but i can't as of now
Who ever flying drone there is dangerous, i think theres a land dispute and tribal wars happening there, So always be safe guys thank you for showing philippines
Will Wheng OD do anything other than her 3 dots? Or is she only doing the dots these days? Would love to get another smaller design from her plus the 3 dots

ahh... so you went there... ive comment on the other video... you damn foreningners are lucky
Wonderful video. If I ever go to the Philippines I’ll be sure to get a tattoo too. My only comment is that your girl didn’t have a helmet and you almost lost control there. 😬 Be careful please. ❤

Cannabis is actually somewhat allowed in that place. An Aussie vlogger went there too and smoked some
have you meet Kulas Man? or even Bret your fellow Canadian vlogger here in the Philippines? I hope you will do a collab that would be dope Man. they're currently somewhere in the south particularly in Mindanao
That’s amazing. What an adventure. Cute lady but it seems she doesn’t use gloves and applies the ink with her finger. I’d be nervous
Please visit the ...bgc Taguig Philippines That's famous place in Philippines
