Here is a glimpse of my authentic Kalinga tattoo done by no less than the only woman tattoo artist  in Kalinga province – 96 yrs old FANG OD (Wang Od)! Fang Od or Wang Od is a national living treasure and has been featured in National Geographic and other media outlets around the world.

So what made me decide to get an ethnic tattoo despite the fact that I really don’t appreciate tattoo? I would say it’s the artist and not the ink.  And I did this on my birthday.
