This 101-Year-Old Tattoo Artist Is the Last of Her Kind

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ก.ย. 2018
- Whang-Od is the last remaining mambabatok-a tattoo artist in the Philippines using traditional hand-tap methods. At 101 years old, she is the last master of the thousand-year-old trade that first began as a way to honor warriors in battle. Using a hammer and thorns, Whang-Od taps coal ink into skin. Today, she is training her grandniece to carry on her legacy, keeping the family mamababatok tradition alive.
This Great Big Story was inspired by Genesis.

Elderly people: Stares rudely to people with tattoos

"next time, think about it and why someone does it :>"
I dunno, sounds pretty taunting. You're saying it as if I'm being rude. This person wasn't talking about *all* elders. Just the ones who stare to be mean.
Daiya Seppen 12 she said elderly people that means all
Daiya Seppen 12 not some elders
She's 101 and looks healthier than most 78 or 65 year olds. That's amazing.

Her people basically made tattoos popular
Breathing • 210 years later • but still doesn't own even a dash of common sense.
Most elderly people are just agains't the retarded ones
Yes, as what she said you may only have a tattoo every time you kill someone back then. It is usually used to show bravery and strength and as far as I know, authority too. Sultans or leaders of a certain place are usually covered with ink cuz, yknow
101 and she doesn’t even use glasses for such intricate designs. Holy cow.
I am a fillipino and this is real i saw her in my tv XP
@@seansantos329 no one told you that it wasn't real
Why Ppl So Mean? U Guys Dont Have To Be Rude Or Mad U Know?
@@seniya8095 how so ?
That escalated fast
Her; *doesn't wear a glasses at the age of 103 because her vision is clear*
Me; *cant see what written on the board at age of 13 because my vision is blurred*
bunnii_ gguk me too
She mostly eats vegetables. It explains a lot
I cant see at age 9 ang got glasses at 10 lmao good thing i didnt fail grade 5
Same
Sameee
During her time, tattoos are actually normal and even considered as beautiful. Headhunters would get them after killing someone, which shows how much respect they have for the art form. Nowadays in the Philippines, tattoos translate to "an ex convict" or "an addict".
My Chinese-Filipino cousin went to a mall last time and she saw a man wearing a Chinese tattoo that reads “Happy Father’s Day”.
Dude thats old school thinking im a professional and most ofw got tattoo its art now its not like the old days
It's because of Colonization.
Achilles Daniel Limbo now, not anymore. I know a lot of professionals with full sleeve tattoos (male and female). I live in Cebu and it's also in our tradition to have tattoos. They didn't call us Pintados for nothing.
@@mhadickisbi6206 Yes I agree, but we can't deny that the "old school thinking" somehow still exists to this day. I'm an artist too and I'd really want to try tattooing someday, my dad has lots of tattoos and that meant nothing to me growing up.
tbh, she looks good, talks good, don’t think she will pass away soon
she'll live longer
Yep, I'm from russia and I tried to get their tattoo there, I requested her to give me a chief head hunter tattoo and she tattooed all of my back.
10/10 would recommend you to go there.
SabisBad that doesn't mean if a person is healthy, they won't die for until for a long time. They can be gone because they would be too old.
She’s still alive
She hasn't got kids, eats clean organic free-range every day, has a job she loves, breathes clean unpoluted mountain air... living the life as far as I'm concerned.

And thats include cannabis plant exported to cities 🙂
Damn she's got all her straight teeth, vision and mobility. If I'm a live that long that's goals

This lady is 101,very strong mentally and physically. People like this live long they are not exposed to the city life from new York to where I'm from Los Angeles. We eat everything that is man made and everything has some artificial something to it not counting horrible pollution. We cut our life span short by a lot. These people live of the land and medicate them self with what the earth provides naturally not pharmaceutical products like we consume. They grow and raise their own food and never worry about traffic or them dang plane noise. Living in such peace, not easy but worth it. Believe it or not they live happy even if the don't have it all,they have all they need. Much respect for this lady and all alike. I hope to live that old and self dependent but the truth is I/we may not if we continue to live as we are,our life span is getting shorter as we advance..
I agree
grandmas live longer bcause they are healthy and good in asia
I also agree
Yep, they eat healthily and work out much.
This makes me very emotional. She's 101, good eyesight, healthy, strong, and still able to share her art to the new generation. I love her. Her ancestors must've been proud!
also her teeth are real and crazy healthy
You got all that from a 2 min video?
@@heretic600 it's logical my dude
Unfortunately FILIPINO GOVERNMENT refused to give her the NATIONAL ARTIST AWARD. That's how toxic our Government is. They don't appreciate ARTISTS, THEY ONLY CARE FOR MONEY.
Jiejie Salazar Hayyyys... alam ko ung feeling, it really kind of sucks tho
101 and still more energetic than most people..
Wtf I watched this video again and 4.3k likes yet no notification...wut
How?
more energetic than me, yes...
.
I wouldn't say most people but very energetic for her age.
Shocking the difference between her and all the obese people around these days with type two diabetes at twelve years old! 🙁
I had a tattoo of her years ago when she was 90 and it was really cool experience of my holiday
How painful is it from 1-10?

Yes. The perks of being out in nature and doing stuff the old fashioned way
asian tingz
im an hour away from her mountain. its peek human potential out there. no electricity, processed foods, radiation, chemicals from medicine, or any other chemical or item made using machines. people cook in claypots, plant their own crops, sleep in handmade blankets (p.s. she lives in the coldest, highest area of the entire archipelago).
tho idk how she survived without vaccines. she gets visitors a lot. not just foreigners or tattoo enthusiasts. tv feature reporters, newspapers, magazines.. name it.

she is, comeback and say she's not if you have a full body suit tattoo done via the same method she got hers.
@@chadangeles3856 excuse me?
Thats traditional its not like the ordinary this is not dangerous btw
Visited her in 2010 with a group of anthropologists and others. Spent time in her house and it was beautiful. waiyu Apo. I hope to return again soon
Fun fact: Even us filipinos cant understand what language she's speaking
I think she is speaking tribal dialects like the kankanaey, ibaloi,and kalanguya
same here buddy
You have to remember that there are literally 170+ languages and dialects in the Philippines.
yes
she's from visaya ;-;
When my mom says "how do u expect a tattoo to look good on you when you're old", this just proved to me that it still looks dope even when you're 101 yrs old
Only when they’re beautiful designs and not trashy looking ones.
It helps if you work hard physically and stay in great shape. These are people who never sit around watching television. Ever.
There's a big difference those women's tattoos are traditional tattoos the majority of Americans with tattoos just blatantly look trashy and doesn't symbolize anything except for some fake meaning you give that tattoo
SophieSprague FitB You can’t just praise their tattoo without bring down another group of people? Kinda ignorant
Not every body
SHE REALLY DESERVE A NATIONAL ARTIST AWARD! PLEASE GIVE IT TO HER WHILE SHE'S STILL ALIVE!
Agreed
K
She already is the national artist. Her name is now mentioned on history or arts textbooks
She also a Living Treasure of the Philippines
She can't be a national artis because her art is representing her tribe not the whole nation.
*When people that bring the greatest memories, become a memory... But this woman, will live to draw beautiful designs on those who wish.*
And she's now featured in VOGUE MAGAZINE front page cover 2023...she's now 106 years old. ❤️
This years she’s turning 102
She looks in her late 70’s or her early 80’s
of course
Exactly!!!!
She has East Asian genes. Most of the people in their area originated from Taiwan who moved in cold mountainous region of Luzon island centuries ago before Spanish colonization.
@@ronb7062 well not all east asians looks younger tho, the right term for it is "asian in general"
@@Magmeow05 yeah, i think so.
She’s actually very attractive for her age
The God of Cringe Traditionally, Women from her tribe got tattooed as well. The more tattoos they have, the more beautiful they were.
GGGILF
ikr, compare to other grandma 0:38 , maybe its her eye smile
*HELL NO*
malunggay/moringa..... common name miracle tree or tree of life... i hope it grows in your country.. try planting it............. goodluck and have a healthy body and young appearance
This is the most natural and most beautiful form of tattoos I ever seen. I never heard or seen these kind of tattoos until now. And the fact that the tattoo artist Whang-Od is 103 is mind-blowing. I hope this tattoo tradition never dies. Now I'm considering getting her tattoos (maybe the snakeskin, cuz it looks cool lol).
You can really see her expierience. When you look closely, her tapping is very consistent and steady. Always at the top. And the peirces are the same.
At the age of 103, she still has better control and seeing, than on her other peers. Truly a very important cultural asset of the Philippines!
Wow. To look that lovely at 101, and still tattooing 😊😊😊
Total babe
Let alone have a name like Wang OD
She was the most beautiful woman in her village
Tattoo are considered as symbol of beauty
Timeless beauty
I know! She's a badass! ❤
Don't forget that to get to Whang-Od is like a pilgrimage. From Manila you have to take a 15 hour bus ride to reach her province. Then take another 2 hour van ride to get near her village. Then hike for 1-2 hours to reach her.
Normally 18 hour ride, 3 hour jeepney ride, 3 hour hike
Don't also forget that they have to slaughter pigs and get the heart(or liver? i just heard this one) to know if you bring luck or curses. If it's not in good condition,you're not allowed to get inside,unfortunately.
@@alherx999 Yes, that's actually one important piece of information they failed to mention in this video. I'm glad someone mentioned it!
I can't remember the exact details but I think they kill more than one pig for every person..?
@@mikeeuy4122 i think so :)
You need to go down to a place where if you lose grip you will fall down and might get injured or even worst! Die to meet her but so that it will not happen you need to be really really careful and pray to God so that you will not die and also a lot of hours to get there
I knew that after I saw an artist that has Whang-Od's portrait that he drew by ONLY using colorful PENS! Crazy! Right?!
When we got to go, I felt so at peace in the village, the people, the mountains and even tourists were all so kind. I would gladly live in a village like that if I had a choice to. :) She is such a humble lady, and Grace was super nice also.
Oh not to mention the coffee in the morning :) That Kalinga coffee is so good.
Her smile is one of the warmest smile i have ever seen. Still looking so beautiful, healthy and young at 101. She is truly one of a kind and a rare gem of modern world❤
I don't want to sound rude but she's so confident and healthy for a 101 year old!
You copied a Comment but if u didnt see that they'r was a similar Comment its ok :)
burnt chicken nugget I think the reason she thought it was “rude” was becuz she probably thinks it might be mean to the other elderly ppl.
Look into her eyes she has seen so much or been threw something 101 yrs old imagine that omg!!
There was a TikTok comment that was similar to that
Gerda Jokubauskaitė
Well I mean if somebody is like 101 years old lots of people are gonna comment on how good she looks for her age
Her: "back in my day... you actually had to kill someone to get this tattoo"
Tourist: "niiice! I'll take 3!" Lol
Does this mean that she killed someone?
@@danihaiden890 maybe, maybe not. But women way back get this tattoos as a status symbol, it's also a way to get a husband, because it is believed that the more tattoos you have the more beautiful you are in the eyes of men.
Also tourist: *What? She is a “Maembabatalk?”*
@@stephanielim5544 not for me
@@danihaiden890 Most likely not for women. They mentioned that it was more for aesthetic purposes- for sex appeal and to get a husband. I'm no expert in the Kalinga people but I've only heard that the men were tattoo'd for killing rival groups.
I've been tattooing professionally for 17 yrs, I can't imagine being that strong and capable at 101!!!!!! 💪👏🙌 I only hope I get to do it for as long as my body will hold up 🤞
Live healthy. Eat healthy. She is 106 years old now and was just featured as the cover girl of Vogue magazine.
She doesn't even wear eyeglasses! And her teeth are complete without cavities! What kind of sorcery is that?
OMG I'm from the Philippines but I never heard such language. It sounds so beautiful 😭 Lola is so beautiful! The culture, scenery is beautiful! The art/tattoos are beautiful! This made me really appreciate Filipino culture more and this makes me wanna learn more about my beautiful country and culture ❤️❤️❤️
Yeah, it's so beautiful to hear this Language, the way she speak is very aesthetic.
In the old days women who have lots of tattoos symbolizes beauty, men who have lots of tattoos symbolizes their victories after battle...
Please do not get confused 🙂
But in the new days... Dogs get tattoos
But in the new days any part of our body can be tattooed 😏
In the future days, tattoos dont exist.

lol mine is probbably 1 year with no cavaties/tooth fallen out
Fmono • 38 years ago that’s true, but some people have other conditions that affect their teeth; i think that more goes into in than just brushing and eating well
Fmono • 38 years ago 😂 no lol i mean health conditions that don’t necessarily come from eating bad or not brushing. for example iron deficiency isn’t always caused by not eating enough veggies and can cause problems with the teeth
@Fmono • 38 years ago no that's not the only way some people can be born with these mouth problems that effect the gums and teeth
Genetics my teeth looked great but went hollow and broke one by one
She is beautiful even for 101 years...the facial structure is beautiful.
Much love from the Philippines!! 🇵🇭
And here I am, vowed that all of my tattoos will be from her moving forward. I am proud I have one on my back! Miss you, Apo Whang-Od! ❤
101 and has tattoos. The oldest man alive is 112 and uses cigar. Does it means being badass makes you live longer?
You bet! :-)
Apparently death is scared of badassery
Serious question though, how does smoking and having tattoos makes you a badass?
Yup that's the recipe
not really. it still depends on what you eat, environment, and some great genes from mom and dad.

@@twobullz3400 yeah but she's still the lats of her kind. Her grand niece still obviously has to learn, but she might pass soon.
She truly enjoys what she does, and I see that she relishes every moment she gets to share her art.

I hope that beyond that, more people who actually value her art and her community in Buscalan will genuinely help preserve their culture and traditions.
She needs to spill the tea on that skincare routine 💅🏽
Healthy foods and no pollution
Honestly she seems like a fun person to talk to. Wish I could be her friend.
I'm a filipino and have seen many filipino made documentaries about these things, but the cinematography in this channel is so good that locally made documentaries seem to pale in comparison. I didn't even recognize it was my own country! great stuff here, really.

She deserves to be our national artist
yes i agree and i can't believe i have not thought of that
Actually isa na siya sa mga national artist natin
You people must learn your History lessons. Lol she cannot be categorized to that. Tribal Artists like her has their own counterpart of National Artists, and they are called GAMABA. She's one of the few GAMABAs coz there are only 16 in the country whereas there are hundreds of National Artists. GAMABA is more prestigious.
_Aggree👌🇵🇭✨_
Nope.She's a mere Tat practitioner.A bearer of ancient tribal tradition.Tat already existed before she was born.She was conferred with prestigious Haraya Award at Tabuk by NCCA anyways.
