106-Year-Old Indigenous Filipino Woman Graces Vogue Cover.

Apo Whang-Od, a 106-year-old indigenous Kalinga woman and legendary tattoo artist, has become the newest cover model of Vogue Philippines. Known for her traditional tattooing technique, called batok, Whang-Od has been practicing her art since she was a teen. She has trained her grand-nieces to follow in her footsteps as a mambabatok. Whang-Od's popularity has helped keep her town on the map, drawing tattoo fans and tourists to her rural outpost.
