Vogue Philippines' stunning move with 106-year-old model

Vogue Philippines takes a new move by revealing Apo Whang-Op as its April cover star. In fact, a stunning move to make the 106-year-old Philippine tattoo artist the oldest person ever to appear on the front page. Since her teenage, learning under her father's instructions, Whang-Od also known as Maria Oggay had been perfect in hand-tapping tattoo arts.

 

 
She who dwells in the mountain villages of Buscalan, 15 hours from Manila in Kalinga province, is considered the oldest mambabatok (traditional Kalinga tattooist) in the country. 

 

"Herald as the last mambabatok of her generation, she has imprinted the symbols of the Kalinga tribe-signifying strength, bravery, and beauty-on the skin of thousands of people who have made the pilgrimage to Buscalan" Words, from Vogue Philippines to social media.
