World's Oldest Tattoo Artist Tattooed Me 🇵🇭 Apo Whang-Od

- Buscalan, Philippines 🇵🇭 - Many years back I've seen Apo Whang-od (Fang-od) on TV, and always wanted to experience this myself. She's the oldest tattoo artist in the world and the last mambabatok (traditional Kalinga tattooist).
After spending a few days in Sagada, we hopped on a couple of jeepneys headed towards Buscalan. On the way, we chatted a passenger, Conception. She connected us to her brother Francis, a seasoned tour guide, they invited us to their home in a nearby village. It was a stroke of luck, as typically you need to book tour guides a week in advance. Little did we know, Francis Pa-in is THE original tour guide of the area, with over 30 years of experience under his belt. Despite the initial uncertainty, we made it to our destination and left with both tattoos and unforgettable memories, all thanks to the hospitality of Francis and his family.

Welcome to the club my friend 🙏🏽
Does that make us Vlog brothers? 😎
@@SimsimsamTravels of course 🙏🏽
You’re so lucky to see her,she’s a legend
Yes, such an honour. Especially that I could visit her in her house 🙏
You are very respectful to Apo Whang-od and we love that!
How can you not be 😊 thanks
WOW Sam!!!
You were in the home of a LEGEND. It is such an honor to be in her presence. You’re so lucky!!!
You chose the perfect tattoo for your arm. Another entertaining video.
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much Louisa 😊🙏🏾 yes, I was so nervous when Francis brought me into her house, and she was just sitting there 😅 such an honour. Thank you so much for watching and supporting 🫶🏾
I see why you were excited for this one brother! Great video, I still haven’t decided if I will ever get a tattoo. But if I do decide to one day I hope I have the honor of my first tattoo being done the great Apo Whang-od! I wasn’t there but watching your video made me feel like I was, it made me feel happy-sad if that makes sense! 😂 You had an awesome tour guide, and what a honor it was to not only be tattooed by someone so legendary, but to also be complimented by her as well 😉 and welcomed into her home!
Bravo Sam 🫡
It was such an honour, still feels surreal. Can only recommend it, it's a beautiful experience and the villages, people and landscapes are magnificent 😊
its very uneven 3 dots.. but thinking who is the artist makes the 3 dots very valuable and priceless 🎉🎉
It does fit a couple of tattoos that I already have, they are uneven as well 😁 exactly, a great memory and piece of history I'll carry on forever
That's a signature of whang od in tattoo form
@@SimsimsamTravels and not just a tattoo cause you have given an opportunity to go to whang od house while she was eating her lunch ..shes like a kid on a floor 😂 very adorable ...
These work’s imperfections make it unique
i really love this video, it may be your best content yet 🙏
Thank you 🙏🏾 happy you enjoyed it 😊
Wow! Youll be carrying history wherever you go. Take care always and enjoy your time here. Love watching your videos.
Thank you Giselle 😊 yes, so cool
haha😂😂😂..Apo Whang-od complimented u handsome..goodluck and Godbless bro
😄 Did she? Thank you
Sam, I have to say this episode was EPIC!! I think apo whang od likes you a little bit☺️
Also to be right inside her house was an amazing bonus!
Looking forward to the next video!
Haha, I had a good time and am very grateful for the moment in Buscalan and I shared with Apo Whang-od 😌 I'm happy you liked it and thanks for your support on RUclips and on Ko-fi 🫶🏾 much appreciated
Epic adventure ❤ so glad you shared it with us! You were not moody at all. Tattoo artist should not question what you want!
It was one if not even the favourite tour so far 🙌🏾 thanks
Epic!!! ❤
Unforgettable experience 😌
Nice Video as Always! Greetings from Germany - Ban Kai
Ban Kai, bester Mann 💪🏾 danke dir #kingofcoron
Wow!!!😁😍you got a signature of 107 legendary tattoo artist ❤
Yes 🤩
Awesome video. Did you put Frances's details in the info like you said at 25:42 ; I can't find it. We're going to Tuguegarao next year and would love to do this. Keep the video's coming, we love 'em!
Thanks Riccardo 👍 yes, have a look in the description, his details are in there
An hour of Sam in the Philippines? YES PLEASE 🎉
Haha, I was wondering if it was to long 😄 glad you enjoyed it
New subs here, brother. Nice content
Thanks 🙌🙌
Thank you for sharing us your experience. It was an arduous trek which entails stamina. At least we saw the villages and the beautiful mountains in that place.
Learned also some of their tradition. Especially that they still have the burial place of their loved ones near their house. That practice was discontinued in the lowlands long time ago.
It was definitely one of my favourite regions in the Philippines, very different up there
Imagine you're part of the history now Bro....lucky U! enjoy d moment
So proud 😊
go to atok benguet, and try to camp in mt. pulag, mt. timbak. or mt. olis, my favorite is mt. olis because of the 360degree view of sea of clouds!
Sounds all amazing, but I left the mountain province already a couple of weeks back
Thanks
Thank you 😊
Congratulations 👏👏 your the only 1 watching Wang od while eating..
That's one of my core memories now 🙌🏾
That’s so cool 👌
Thanks, was an awesome trip 🙌🏾
New subscriber here! 😊
Welcome to my channel and thanks for subbing 🙌🏾
Ur lucky guy Sim , i never been there take care
Thank you 😊
Ei man,
New subscriber here after watching this video. Thank you for visiting my beloved country. You're so lucky you got Whang-Od's signature tattoo. But usually she touches or grabs someone's "willy" (selective) before she begins tattooing like i've learned from the other YT vloggers (local & intl) and famous local celebrity men. Didn't she attempt it with you?
Looking forward for more of your Philppine vlogs.
----------Jo fr the South of France
I think I've got the upgraded version by her wanting to "poke" me 😂😂
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you 😊
Good luck the awe
Nice tattoo Sam 😉
Thank you 😊
New subie here.nice tatoo Sam.enjoy travelling North of the🇵🇭
Thank you and thanks for the sub 🙌🏾
@@SimsimsamTravels there's so many beautiful places in the North likes Vigan Ilocos sur,Las casas de acuzar in Bataan,hundred island in pangasinan,Clark city in Pampanga and many more.
Sam, you're a lucky guy. I've never seen a vlogger visit Apo Whang Od's house and watch her having lunch.
Yeah, I was really honoured that I could be there 😌 no, never seen it before either.
Been there 5 times. I already know almost everything there. Glad that you went there.
I could see myself going again as well 😊
@@SimsimsamTravels Thank you for promoting the Philippines. You're such a natural and extraordinaire just a professional vlogger. Keep it up and keep safe brother.
I knew it you will choose the traveller tattoo sign👍
Haha, I had a whole other design prepared, but it got a little to pricey 😅 I'm very happy with the crab (traveller), it suits
I'm watching here

Oh Wow YOU went there SAM sooooooo cool 😎🍷 💋 TC always bro muah .....

Hi, try po to visit batanes😊, that is also one of the beautiful province in the philippines
Looks beautiful, maybe someday
❤❤❤
She's going to poke until you tear up, leave physical/emotional scars to remember her by and move right on to the next.😅😂 You lucky dude!
I consider my experience there very lucky :)
44:05 that was such a phenomenal thing to be able to say 🤩
I'm still honoured that I was able to sit there 😌
please visit also Camiguin and Siquijor 🙏🙏
Let's see what's next 😊
You come to tamil nadu🇮🇳 my dr brother ❤....loved india🇮🇳
Let's see where my journey will lead to 😊 India is on my wish list
That's why many highlanders live longer because of going up and down the mountain, makes their lungs stronger.
Yeah, they are very healthy and fit
Diese three dots haben die eine bestimmte Bedeutung? Hab ich bei dem anderen auch gesehen.
Ja das ist das einzige Muster was sie noch tätowiert. Ist ihr signature tattoo was für sie und ihre 2 Großnichten steht, denen sie die Tattookunst beigebracht hat.
She has a long life cause she always smile and happy.She always do some naughty jokes everytime😂😂
Yep, she caught me off guard there 😅🙈
We enjoy your videos Sam, could you give us a shoutout for me and my gf Christal on your next vid haha Godbless you man
Thank you guys, much appreciated. Maybe a shout out if I meet you on the street 😁
i saw tom and his gf riding the cable car down to jump off point..his vlog is roaming hogan or the new one tom and lay..
Yes I've seen videos afterwards as well, but to be fair it's not regularly checked for safety etc., so maybe good that I didn't do it 😅 that's an instant 💀 if you fall
Cable cars are used to transport produce from the mountains. It is faster & safer means to bring their products to the market.
Yes definitely, I wouldn't bring my suitcase along the trekking way 😅
The oldest tattoo artist... Wow
Such an honour 😊
I'm sad to say you didn't visit camiguin island in Mindanao it's very nice island for the tourist
Don't be sad, Philippines has so many islands and places, it's hard to visit everything, especially if you have to take ferries or flights all the time, it is getting expensive 😅
@@SimsimsamTravels well I see little bit expensive but if you want to visit I very highly recommend to go there soon 👍
Try visit siargao ❤
Might be not to far away 😊
Of course you would have gone for the ride on the cable cart 😆
😂😂
My Goodness Apphia and Katelyn😆
You know them? 😁
They pray for the soul of the deceased after 9 days. We call it Pa-syam. Thats a Filipino tradition. And then the 40th day is next the family and friends get together for another ritual to pray for the dead. And celebrate his past life.
Thanks for the explanation 👍🏾
The legendary wang od...
An honour to meet her
Hello
That’s it! Three dots?
That's it :) Three dots
Grüße aus Stade :*
Liebe Grüße zurück 😊
Damn you were literally in Whang Od's house, your guide doesnt have connections, he's part of the family. 😇
Yeah, I though it was unreal. He didn't even tell me before 😂
Thanos is on vacation there.say hi to him.
😂 looks similar to the farm that he resides
@@SimsimsamTravels you can also try to go on thanos resting place, in banaue rice terreces in sagada.
@@SimsimsamTravels the rice terraces in batad ifugao is most beauuuuutiful.
@@SimsimsamTravelswatch out avengers are coming to kill thanos😂🤣😂
I didn't know that it was really the location for the movie, how cool
Whang Od didn't grab the German sausage bro? 😂
Maybe not on camera 🤷🏾♂️😂
When I saw your thumbnail, I thought 'Oh, No!' but it's a good thing, nothing happened to you... on camera! 😂😂😂
Igorot people pronounce W as soft V or F because when they pronouce consonants or syllables they just rolling the sounds into their tongue
Thanks for the info 👍🏾
Apo Wang od wants ur FRANKFURTER! 😅😅😅
😂😂
she wants to cuddle lol
Close 😅
Why you look like Gabe Norwood especially when his hair is like yours
Haha 🤫 basketball wasn't enough for my career 😁
I thought Whang Odd was going to grab your bratwurst........... You missed the experience. lol
Haha I think my experience was way better than getting my Bratwurst grabbed 😅 but each to their own
vow those new tats look very! cheap..I think you just ruined your old tat...with these nonsese ones...less is more...
I respect how everyone sees beauty and style from a different perspective, fair enough. But nonsense? I don't get it and you probably even less 😄
Also my other tats look "cheap" as well, so it matches the scheme 😉
Keep it to your self if you don't know anything😂
