- $5 Tattoo from 107 year old Artist | Apo Whang-Od 🇵🇭
In this incredible video, join me on my journey to meet the legendary Apo Whang-Od, a 107-year-old tattoo artist in the Philippines. After trekking deep into the mountains and staying for two nights, I had the opportunity to get a tattoo from one of the last traditional Kalinga tattoo artists.
The experience was truly unforgettable as we went back to basics and immersed ourselves in the beautiful surroundings of the Philippines. Apo Whang-Od's skill and precision with her art form are truly remarkable, and her dedication to preserving her cultural heritage is an inspiration to all.
Not only was this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet a true legend, but it was also a chance to witness history in the making. Apo Whang-Od was recently featured in Vogue Magazine in April 2023, showcasing her incredible talent and the impact she has had on the world.
Don't miss this amazing video that takes you on a journey into the heart of the Philippines and introduces you to one of the most remarkable artists of our time. Learn about Apo Whang-Od's fascinating life, including the fact that she was born in 1917, and witness her incredible talent in action as she creates a beautiful tattoo that will stay with me forever.

ATTENTION: I did not kick the lady out of the front seat. When the trip was booked, it was pre organised with the company for me to be in the front because I’m way too tall to fit in the back of a Hiace for that long (I would have made other arrangements) - The person who was in the front took the front seat with out knowing.
I literally did feel a bit bad, that’s why I spoke with the driver while we were on the way and he’s exact words were “it’s alright, she said it’s okay”
As most of you know, I’m like to play around and be funny in my vlogs, maybe my humour style was misinterpreted (and I can understand that, im from Australia, we are a different breed)
In response to the person who made the news article about it … You should have contacted me first to get the story … without just calling me out we being “a white sexpat” 😂 #fakenews
To that person, I truely appreciate that you changed seats and were okay with it. (My legs would have fallen off)
I understand your need to book and sit in the front seat ..my Husband is very tall and similar build..
If you booked it ahead of time why did you have to ask again?
@o4tw382 because someone was sitting in the front …
@@o4tw382 again like he said , the person who took the front seat didn’t know it was already reserved for him .

Didi you know that her tattoo was the gown dress of miss universe today name Michelle dee . .watch her Black gown dress that's Wang ud tattoo in her body..
Its nice to see a 106 year old woman with a great sense of humor! ❤️
Haha yep! She funny as
@@marcoroams -With her main question, asking if your dick is big… that’s funny for a 106 woman to still have that in her mind.
Americans would consider it “creepy”.
160?😂
Strong libido..
She's slaying the world at the moment as the oldest Vogue Magazine cover. What a journey and a moment to meet the legend ❤
Binge watching your Philippines series for the past 3days. Haven’t been back home in 20years. Your vlogs making me want to go back for a visit ❤️
She deserve more recognition. She's a legend.
Wow i can only imagine her presence what a legendary old woman
SHE DESERVES MORE THAN WHAT SHE IS PAID!!! TO START WITH, HER PRESENCE ALONE IS PRICELESS ✨MUCH MORE GET TATTOOED BY APO WANG OD!!! ONLY IN THE PHILIPPINES 🇵🇭💪🇵🇭👍🇵🇭💪🇵🇭
Exactly what I thought. Somebody needs to manage her... $5 is an underpayment. Her value has increased.
More than $5 for 4 dots? lol
@@RoCkShaDoWWaLkEr if you're not dumb enough to think about it, you know you're not paying for the design, it's the history you're paying for, she is the oldest and the last one tattoo artist that uses old technique
Being that old and probably a partially blind tattoo artist, she should be happy with what she gets.
It's not like she can actually tattoo a good tat on people like you'd get in a real shop. @@animeworldacademy8443
@@RoCkShaDoWWaLkEr 🙄🙄That would be $75-100 in USA… - 10 Year Tattoo Artist
Wow apo wang od is the legend of the tattoo artist in the Philippines 🇵🇭
Hi there, just subbed. Just wanted to thank you. This is BY FAR the best vid I have seen by a RUclipsr in the Philippines. I'm a tattooed guy that has been several times and have a filipina partner. Really like your style, how polite and friendly you are to the local people. It is so humbling in my opinion going there. Sometimes it seems some RUclipsrs and tourists in general can treat developing countries as their personal playgrounds and do not show respect and humility. You are a great example of how one should be when in another's country. Cheers
Thanks for featuring one of the Philippine icon. Godspeed!
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
I'd never had a tattoo before. But I want my first tattoo to be done with the legend herself. Enjoy your stay in our country ❤️godbless you! ❤️
Haha you definitely should!!
Get there before it’s too late! (Next 10 years)
Same here❤
@@gligli7388 where u from
Wang Od a World Heritage personality and the last of the old world artist👍
It’s crazy hey! I feel so lucky
Yeah ..that's very exactly 👍
Getting a tattoo from a legend surely a remembrance
You have just officially become part of the Legendary whang-od global tattoo euphoria and that's just amazing!
I'm jealous that you're able to get a tattoo from a tribe legend.
time is running go and get tattoo to mrs legend before it's to late, you never if mrs legend wake tomorrow or not but praying for good health to mrs legend🙏🙏
The legend of traditional tattoo artist ❤️🇵🇭 🇵🇭🇵🇭
Thanks!
Thank you so much Red Bunny Tail for the Super Thanks Donation.
I appreciate you more than you would ever know 🥺
I’ll make sure it goes to good use!!
Very few vloggers are honest enough to tell the viewers to skip to the best part. In this case, the tattoo part. I appreciate it. Hence, I watched the full video. New subscriber here and I love your channel.
I so wish I could be inked by her! I’m glad you were able to do so. She’s a riot. I’ve seen quite a few videos of her and she’s a firecracker. 🙏🏼♥️🕊☮️
hey men i am glad that you meet apo whang od she's realy famous traditional tattoo artist even our local celebrity here visit her personaly and just get a tattoo from her thank you for visiting the coolest place here in the philippines keep safe always men.
❤ facing the Philippines legendary tattoo artist more than 100 years old is very amazing 😍🤩 nice vlog information 😁
Awesome video!
I love your willingness to try out basic living in th PH. Even I myself a Filipino, will find this lifestyle very difficult. But yeah I admire those poeple who are very much contented with the life.
Thumbs up 👍 nice signatures for the legendary tattoo artist in the Philippines 🥰😍❤️😁
Imagine her in her first original Prime! She has been thu Many Primes! Even now.....still in her Prime
this is the most memorable part. she is a legend artist. you're very lucky you've meet her. thats a very great adventure. the night drive and all those challenging roads in the mountains,
Man, you're going "raw and hardcore" in your trips. Looks like you've made a choice to "walk the other path" and stay away from the modern, convenient, and of course more expensive parts of the Philippines. Not the easiest thing to do when you visit other countries so I admire what you're doing👍👍. Just make sure you stay on the safe side, man. Good luck.
That’s so beautiful and the fact you get a tattoo by a lady 106 is a true treasure give the old handy a hug say it’s from jay if I live long enough I be there to get one too😊
Haha yep! 💯 😀
Pretty sure you will outlive her dude.
Good for you to have finally met and got a tattoo from Apo Whang-Od, Marco. I watched your video from the beginning until the end. Stay safe and enjoy your adventure in PH.
Thank you!
Glad you watched it all :)
Glad she's still around. Was my dream to get a tattoo from her.
Whang Od is a kalinga. The Kalinga tribe in the Philippines is believed to have originated from the Kalingas of ancient India. According to historians, the Kalingas of ancient India were a powerful tribe that controlled the region of present-day Odisha. They were known for their fierce warrior culture and skilled metalworkers. During the reign of the Indian Emperor Ashoka in the 3rd century BCE, the Kalingas were defeated in a brutal war.
Ashoka, moved by the horrors of the war, converted to Buddhism and vowed to never again wage war. it is believed that some of the Kalingas, possibly including metalworkers, migrated to Southeast Asia and eventually settled in the Philippines. The present-day Kalinga tribe in the Philippines still retains some of the cultural practices and traditions of their ancient Indian ancestors, such as metalworking and tattoos.
She’s a legend . Not a tattoo fan but I wanna try if she’s the one who will make it ❤ hope to see her soon ❤
You should!
Just get a little one on the inside of your ankle like me :)
@@marcoroams yeah hopefully soon when I go back to the Philippines 🇵🇭::) is it so much hurt ?
@@marcoroams I couldn't believe you made that long trip for the opportunity to get tattooed by a legend and all you get is three little dots on your ankle.
Hahaha she’s too old buddy and partially blind they say … the only tattoo she does is 3 dots for anyone
This is hardcore travel. Incredible. Thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Woww that was great to have a mark tattoo from the legendary artist Apo Wang-od,
There's so many videos of this Village and beautiful lady here on RUclips but in my opinion you my friend have captured it best. ❤
That’s so nice!
Thanks you 😊
Wow very beautiful flace and the philipine injoy your vlog idol
The betel nut you ate helps maintain the body when standing in water all day tending to the rice paddies. It is also used as part of the courtship rituals of the mountain people.
Wow! I just started my vlogging journey and your videos inspire me❤️
Wow nice view i wish i will had a tattoo by apo too..
Oh jealous bro! I don't think I can get a chance to get a Tat from Apo as I live way too far and the chances are getting slimmer. Thanks for featuring Apo on yer vids. More power to you! With Filos, if you are a guest, you will most always get the front seat. ;)
Bro you need to make it haha! You can’t be as far away as I was in Sydney 😂

I love your content! So interesting so lucky to get to explore different places one day 🤞🏻
You now have a great story to share awesome!
Apo wang od is a Legendary tattoo artist ♥️
💯
Amazing content
The banaue rice terraces, which is near these terraces, are the oldest rice terraces in the world. They were carved into the mountains 3000 years ago at the latest, and people have been farming in them since. With each section being passed down family line for generations.
Those rice terraces you saw have likely been producing rice for thousands of years.
Truly a once in a lifetime experience
Definitely!
She looks beautiful! She must be very beautiful when she was in her 20s!
So beautiful place
Yeah it’s beautiful!
That's a nice souvenir you got there from apo 👍😎👌
She has a beautiful smile to be a 106 year old tattoo artist.❤
I've recently visited Buscalan. It was amazing. "The tattoo village hidden in the mountains" is a crazy name to begin with. The next time you visit you should look for Kuya Charlie hes also a legend there. "Charlie knows".
I admire people who's brave enough to have tattoo,I've always wanted one,so jealous you get one from person the legend, I want her legacy on my skin too...her way of doing is so natural and tradional which I love the most considering woman at her age...
FOREIGNERS HAVE TAKEN ADVANTAGE of A LOT of THINGS HERE in THE PHILIPPINES!!! APO WANG OD!!! NO EXCEPTION!!!
Nice tattoo!
Thanks for sharing. Keep safe GOD BLESS.
I hope you enjoy your weekend vacation sir travel vlog adventure is very nice❤❤❤
