For many generations, Kalinga has kept its prized art of
tattooing, known locally as “pagbabatok." It was considered a rite of
passage for women about to be married and the more tattoos they have the
prettier they are, and for man it is a symbol of courage and strength.In this unique tradition, wood, thorn of suha
tree and charcoal with water are the primary tools for imprinting art on
the natives’ skin. Whang Od, 89 years old, is the oldest living
“mambabatok" or tattoo artist.

Whang Od had her first tattoo when she was 15 years old and
though she had a lot of tattoos on her body she never get married because she
want to preserve their culture by maintaining the tattoo tradition.

It is really good to know that until now we still have this
kind of tradition that we could be proud of.

If i'll given a chance to have a tattoo, I would like this symbol to be permanently print on my body. This "hakuna matata" symbol came from the famous Lion king movie which means no worries. :))
