How to get a Tribal Tattoo from the legendary Whang Od.

Meet Whang Od Oggay: The Philippines' oldest tattoo artist. (CNN) — Surrounded by lush rice terraces and undulating landscape, the mountain village of Buscalan is home to just 200 or so households. It rests in the Kalinga province of the Philippines and is about a 15- hour drive north of Manila

Where is Kalinga Apayao located?

Kalinga is a landlocked province in the Philippines situated within the Cordillera Administrative Region in Luzon. Its capital is Tabuk and borders Mountain Province to the south, Abra to the west, Isabela to the east, Cagayan to the northeast, and Apayao to the north.

How much tattoo does Whang OD have?

You can choose to have Whang Od select the design and placement of the tattoo, as is traditional in Kalinga culture, or you can choose it yourself from a board of designs in the village. Once you have been tattooed, Whang Od will then tell you how much your tattoo costs – it will probably be between 400 and 1000 pesos.

Thanks! @pandptattoo @emaoclemen

Many parents decide to show their love for their kids with a nice lettering tattoo of their kids' names, or even a portrait.

Portraits, especially of kids, are very difficult to do. It requires skill for a tattoo artist to render all their vivacity and wonderful joy of living.

The tattoo portrait not only need to be that realistic that we would be able to spot the cute mischief in their eyes but also to feel the love their parents have for them.

If you wish to have your daughter or son inked forever into your skin, secure yourself a good tattoo artist like Emao Clemen of P & P Tattoo and bring the largest picture you have with the best quality.

The best portrait tattooists would tell them that it is the picture that is the most important. Except if you want something more artistic of course.


Yesterday, I had my daughter's portrait tattooed by Emao Clemen and couldn't be happier. The new tattoo he gave me is absolutely stunning. He turned my tattoo into something I can be really proud of.

I've had most of my tattoos at P&P Tattoo, wanting to get more only from there!!!! So much love passion and care for tattoos they defiantly will treat you right. The place I highly recommend for tattoos!!!!
